vPad-A1 OPERATORS MANUAL
1 Specifications
The vPad-A1 All-In-One patient simulator and performance tester is a modular, stackable system comprised
of a user interface or "base" module providing a tablet computer, system power and communications, and
one or more of the following modules: a patient simulator (ECG, IBP, RESP, etc.); a pulse oximeter (SpO2)
tester; and an NIBP simulator. Each simulation/test module can be used individually with the base, or in
combination with either or both of the other modules. The base module includes hardware for charging an
internal battery which provides power to the base, the pulse oximeter tester, and the ECG/IBP simulation
module. The vPad-A1 software or "app" runs on the tablet computer and is used to operate the
simulation/test modules.
The following specifications pertain to the vPad-A1 hardware when used with the vPad-A1 software or
"app" on the tablet. As a modular system, product capabilities will depend on the modules present;
specifications apply only to those modules that you have active in the system.

1.1 General Specifications
User Interface:
The simulation hardware of vPad-A1 is controlled by a tablet computer through a hardwired
connection to the microUSB port on the tablet, or alternatively through wireless communication
with the tablet over Bluetooth. The tablet computer is comparable in size to a conventional
smartphone and fits into a cradle on the vPad-A1 base module for storage and transport.
A software application or "app" running on the tablet controls the system. As individual simulation
functions are activated by the app, they remain active until explicitly turned off. The app enables
numerous simulations to run concurrently, with all patient signals remaining in synchronization.
The tablet computer of vPad-A1 has these specifications:
Display............................................................ 5" colour LCD
User Controls................................................. Capacitive touchscreen
