Introduction
The DataSim 6100 Patient Simulator, hereafter referred to as the Simulator, is
a battery-operated, six-channel patient simulator and defibrillation trainer.
Critical care nurses, ACLS program instructors, and other clinical educators
can generate an extensive range of simulations, from a simple normal sinus
rhythm to a complex Swan-Ganz catheter insertion, as well as a wide range of
real world ECG, pressure, and respiration artifacts. In the standard
defibrillation training mode, the instructor can interface the Simulator with
patient manikins and teach students the correct way to defibrillate a patient,
plus the desired effect on ECG and BP activity.
All control keys and display prompts are on a hand-held pendant keypad
connected to the unit with a flexible, 20-foot, coiled telephone-style cord that
gives a wide range of motion. Standard waveforms and sequences, selected via
the keypad, are stored in microcomputer memory within the Simulator.
A variety of optional Personality Modules expands the number of available
waveform selections and sequences and includes functions for special purpose
ECG, Cardiac Output Dilution Curves, Capnography, and IABP. Each
personality module plugs into the Simulator front panel.
A video adapter allows display of generated ECG and BP waveforms on any
standard TV set. The enlarged format increases visibility and comfort level for
a class of students.
