The American Heart Association has installed a hands-only CPR training kiosk at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, the first such kiosk in the state, according to an omaha.com report.

The kiosk presents an overview video on hands-only CPR, allows users to practice on a mannequin and take a 30-second test.

The kiosk is funded by a $375,000 donation, according to Jennifer Redmond, the organization's executive director. 

The kiosk does not certify users in CPR, but scores them on hand placement, depth of compressions and speed.

It is free to use and users can take the practice portion as often as they wish.
