The Advanced Life Support Simulator is a realistic interactive training manikin for simulating a wide range of advanced life-saving skills in medical emergencies.  The simulator responds to clinical intervention, instructor control, and preprogrammed scenarios for effective practice of diagnosis and treatment of a patient.  With spontaneous breathing, airway control, voice, sounds, ECG, and many other clinical features, the ALS Simulator is the fully functional emergency care simulator.

Configurations:

ALS Simulator is available in two versions:

Standard: mobile VitalSim™ benefits and features. Control the patient simulator from the VitalSim unit and the handheld remote control

Advanced: enhanced PC software that allows video recording and debriefing, based on well proven SimMan Software. Control the patient simulator from a laptop or desktop! With this version you can go back and forth between the VitalSim platform and the new PC platform without losing any functionality. VitalSim Unit is still needed with this version.

Here are some of the many benefits of using the ALS Simulator in your training program:

• Educationally effective for teaching advanced life-saving skills, communication, and teamwork through simulation.
• Efficiently targets the key skills of emergency care providers.
• Preprogrammed scenarios provide standardized training while customizable scenarios and real time instructor control allows the flexibility to meet individual student needs.
• Flexible and economical simulator platform with multiple modules accommodates a wide range of training including CPR, ACLS, NBC, trauma, bleeding control and first aid.
• Cost effective simulator for incorporating patient simulation into training programs.
• Mobile for use in field, transport and hospital training.
• Educational support material provides quick orientation to case based scenario training with the ALS Simulator. Designed with emergency care in mind, these modules contain patient scenarios based on specific learning objectives, problem solving and decision making skills.
• Durable, rugged and lifelike, made to withstand years of use.

Here are some of the features of the ALS Simulator:

• Variable spontaneous breathing without cumbersome air tanks, hoses or cables, allows for simulation of a wide variety of patients with respiratory complications.
• New improved airway allows for insertion of standard airway devices with the addition of the LMA and Combitube.
• Difficult airway management simulations can be practiced including obstructed airway, airway blockage and needle and surgical cricothyrotomy.
• Sensored events such as head tilt/ chin lift, jaw thrust, ventilation and compressions are logged for increased debriefing capabilities.
• 1400 + cardiac rhythms with synchronized pulses allow students to interpret and intervene using clinical monitors, defibrillators, and external pacers and drug administration.
• Blood pressure arm allows for palpation and auscultation of NIBP synchronized with cardiac rate and rhythms.
• Realistic normal and abnormal heart, breath and bowel sounds enhance simulations.
• VitalSim Control Unit (sold separately) allows for increased functionality including creating, editing and running of scenarios.
• New Advanced version allows user to write & run a wider range of simulations.  This version allows a patient monitor for expanded applications.
• Optional accessories, such as Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC), trauma, and bleeding control modules, add realism to the training scenario.
