**) Resusci Anne QCPR-D/QCPR-D AW can be upgraded/converted to AED-Link version for use with ShockLink. The possibility to use live AED or defibrillator with paddles or training cables will be invalid if upgraded. There is no option to upgrade the electronics in RA QCPR-D/RA QCPR-D AW without converting the RA manikin to AED link for ShockLink. See RA QCPR AED Upgrade Bundle
How to identify an upgradable manikin
Resusci Anne FA/QCPR manikins released after 2013 have the jack socket hole for the SkillGuide in the shoulder - earlier versions of the manikins do not have this hole. The hole can be plugged or not. Resusci Anne Advanced SkillTrainer and Resusci Anne Simulator also have this hole, but they can be separated from the Resusci Anne QCPR/FA by having the Lithium-Ion battery inside. It is also possible to identify the manikins by looking at the article number in the identifier tag under the skin.
If you are unsure whether your manikin can be upgraded, please refer to this guide.
