- Circulatory Skills and IV Drug Administration
- IV training arm with replaceable skin and veins
- Sites for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections
- Pulses
- Carotid, femoral, brachial, radial, dorsalispedis and posterior tibialis pulses
- Pulses synchronized with ECG or compressions
- Pulse strength dependent on BP selected and pulse sites
- Cardiac Functions
- Extensive ECG library with rate from 20-200
- Compression artifacts on ECG during CPR
- Defibrillation/Cardiac monitoring - 3 lead (4 connectors) ECG monitoring or via the defib paddles
- External Pacing – with variable pacing threshold
- CPR
- ABC check
- Ventilation
- Chest compression
- ECG and heart rate can be displayed on the simulated monitor
- Blood Pressure
- Can be taken automatically, auscultated or palpated
- Blood pressure arm with Korotkoff sounds synchronized with pulse for auscultation and palpation
- Easily varied BP: Systolic and diastolic can be set independently
- Genitalia for Urinary Catheterization
- Male or female genitalia can be added to the simulator for urinary catheterization procedures
- Sounds
- Simulator “speaking” through instructor microphone
- Heart sounds synchronized with ECG
- Independent left and right lung sounds
- Bowel sounds
- Vocal sounds, pre- or user-programmed
- Independent volume adjustment
