Introduction and Intended Use
VitalSim is designed to be used for realistic medical
training within emergency care and nursing. It can be
used with different types of manikins to simulate vital
signs such as breathing, pulse, blood pressure, ECG,
heart, lung and bowelsounds.Vocal (spoken sounds)
are also generated.
The VitalSim base unit performs all simulations and
connects to the manikin.The base unit can be battery
operated, allowing simulations to be performed any-
where.The operator controls the simulations with a
user-friendly remote control, communicating with the
base unit through radio frequency (RF) communication.
RF communication allows the operator to move freely
around the scene up to a distance of 10 meters (30 ft.)
from the base unit.
Included in the system is a PC-based Scenario Builder
program, allowing the user to preprogram scenarios.
These custom built scenarios may then be downloaded
and run by VitalSim. Scenarios can control all output
parameters of the VitalSim and make parameters
change based on certain events. The VitalSim will also
generate logs that can be uploaded to a PC for review
and printing.
