SimPad PLUS is an operating device used to control Laerdal manikins and simulators and can be used with task trainers and standardized patients. It allows instructors, new or experienced, to deliver highly-effective simulation-based training.
With its intuitive touchscreen interface, mobile design, easy-to-operate scenarios and integrated data log, SimPad PLUS will help you achieve learning objectives with greater ease enhancing clinical realism and challenging critical thinking skills with dynamic monitoring and patient interaction. The optional touchscreen Laerdal Patient Monitor provides concise clinical feedback and simulates physiological parameters including HR, ECG, SpO2, BP, RR, Temperature, etCO2, and 12 lead.
The included headset and microphone will enable effective two-way communication with the patient, adding ‘life’ to the simulation.
The Laerdal SimPad PLUS Features:
Simulated Patient Monitor options:
Portable tablet monitor Laptop monitor Bedside panel monitor Rugged tablet monitor The optional touchscreen patient monitor simulates Heart rate, SpO2, Blood Pressure, Respiratory Rate, Temperature, ECG, and etCO2.
Blood Pressure
Auscultated and palpated blood pressure simulation Korotkoff sounds synchronized with programmable ECG Korotkoff sounds volume control in 10 steps, 0-9 Systolic and diastolic pressure may be set individually in steps of 2mmhg Systolic 0-300mmhg, Diastolic 0-200 mmhg Auscultative gap, with on/off feature Pressure accuracy +/- 4mmhg Calibrate function to adjust pressure sensor and cuff gauge
Pulses
Controls carotid, brachial, radial, and umbilical pulses (available pulses vary depending on manikin) Pulses only active when palpated Pulses synchronized with ECG Pulse strengths dependent or independently set Brachial pulse off when BP cuff pressure is above 20 mmhg Radial pulse off when BP cuff pressure is above Systolic BP level
ECG
3 – 4 lead ECG Pacing and defibrillation capabilities Extensive ECG library based on the SimMan 3G ECG library With optional patient monitor: 12 lead ECG
Heart Sounds
