Video recordings
SimMan utilizes a webcam for recording the students’ performance
during a scenario. For a complete debriefing experience, the
recordings can be integrated into the debriefing guide.
To set-up the camera for video recording, follow the instructions
provided in the “Install Guide.” Be sure to note that the camera
should be connected directly to a USB port on the back of the
laptop. Do not use the hub as this may cause interference. Select
the “Video Recording Configuration” from the “Edit” dropdown
menu then make your selections and press “ok”.
Note: Video will be stored on the hard drive of the instructor’s computer.
PDA remote control
The PDA comes pre-installed with some SimMan configurations.
If your PDA is pre-installed, turn the PDA on and select the SimMan
Pocket icon from the Programs menu to start the PDA application.
If your PDA has not been pre-installed, refer to the SimMan/
SimBaby PDA User Guide (located in the peripheral kit)
for complete installation instructions.
Maintenance
- Clean with mild soap and water. DO NOT SUBMERGE
MANIKIN.
- Modules and all other parts should be drained and air-dried
thoroughly prior to storage. Disinfectants should be used
when appropriate.
- All subcutaneous and intramuscular injection pads should be
squeezed to eliminate excess water. To prevent mildew and
mold, the foam filling should be soaked in a mild solution of
bleach and water or a 1% Virkon solution. Squeeze the solution
out and allow the filling to air dry prior to reinsertion and storage.
- Articulating parts will benefit from a light application of talcum
powder prior to training sessions.
- Powdering inside of chest skin with talcum powder decreases
“plastic sound”.
- Air filter in compressor should be replaced every two years.
Directions for replacement are part of the Technical/Service
manual.
- A Technical/Service manual is available for purchase using part
number 211-19550.
- A general inspection should be conducted regularly. Do not use
the product if cables or tubings have signs of damage.
- Store properly between teaching sessions. If stored in hard cases
disconnect cables and tubings and remove legs. The different
parts should be correctly positioned before closing the cases.
