response of the rhythm to hypoxemia. The degree of influence can be controlled or completely
overridden by the instructor.
Defibrillation, Cardioversion, and Pacing
Apollo supports cardioversion, defibrillation, and pacing.
The manikin can receive simulated electrical therapy by administering defibrillation through the
software or by using the SymDefib device with a live defibrillator.
Simulated Defibrillation
For instructions on administering defibrillation through the software, refer to the Maestro for Apollo
User Guide.
Commercial Defibrillation
The manikin is designed to safely absorb the energy discharged from commercial defibrillators.
Safety Precautions
Biphasic defibrillators can be used with either paddles or hands-free connectors. Standard
defibrillation energy levels should be used for positive learning reinforcement and to avoid negative
training transfer. However, please refer to the following cautions.
Use of a defibrillator for training purposes represents an operational hazard equivalent to use of a
defibrillator on a real patient. Consequently, ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS for the use of defibrillators
MUST BE FOLLOWED as if the simulator were a patient. Consult the specific defibrillator’s user
manual for further information.
