Laerdal Infant Virtual I.V. - Manual (Page 73)

USING THE SYSTEM
The Infant Virtual I.V.™ Self-Directed Learning System software consists of two distinct parts:
(1) The basic menus screens, which present the case scenario, provide debriefing of
performance, and support many other functions; and
(2) The simulation training sequence that enables interaction between the learner
inserting the needle and the three-dimensional (3D) model of the infant.
The following section describes the Icons and Buttons, Basic menu screens, and the Training Sequence
(also covered briefly in the Quick Start Guide).
WARNING
Precautions when using the simulation software
• The Infant Virtual I.V. Self-Directed Learning System has been designed to work on the computer
supplied with the product. The computer is an integral part of the system. It will not work on
other computer platforms, because of its requirements for very specifi c, high speed graphics
capabilities. Do not attempt to install and run this software on any other computer other than that
which has been provided by the manufacturer.
• No software should be installed on the computer supplied with the Infant Virtual I.V. Self-Directed
Learning System, except for those products supplied by the manufacturer of the
software.
• Running any program, such as anti-virus software, on the computer supplied with the simulator, may
cause the Infant Virtual I.V. Self-Directed Learning System to crash or slow the simulation to an
unstable condition. This is a dedicated computer and should not be used for other purposes,
except those explicitly stated by the software manufacturer.
System Icons
There are a number of navigation icons that are usually found on the corners of the screen. The
icon will change color when activated by a mouse click. In other cases, icons will become transparent
if they are not usable. See the ‘System Tutorial’ video within the application for more detailed
information.
Examples of these icons and their definitions are shown on the pages below.
