Laerdal HeartSim 200 - Manual (Page 4)

4
The Heartsim 200 is a battery powered ECG rhythm simulator
which provides simulation of basic, modified and pediatric
rhythms with the applicable pulse rate and strength. Dedicated
controls and indicators for each function make the Heartsim 200
simple to use.
The Heartsim 200 has been designed to be used with the ALS
Skilltrainer and ALS Baby Trainer. However, by using the Heartsim
200 link cable (cat. No. 29 20 21) the following manikins can also
be used with the Heartsim 200, although no pulse is generated:
- Skillmeter Arrhythmia Trainer
- Early Defibrillation Trainer
- Basic ALS Trainer.
The Heartsim 200 can also be used as a stand-alone unit to provide
ECG signals for display on any standard 3-lead ECG monitor.
This Directions for Use provides all the information to fully utilise
the Heartsim 200 but does not aim to provide related medical
knowledge.
Note: The training manikins are supplied with their own
Directions for Use.
The Heartsim 200 is a hand held unit with the function keys
incorporated on the top panel. Every key (with the exception of the
Paroxysmal and Change rhythm keys) has an associated LED to
indicate the status of its function. The unit connects to the manikin
by plugging the cable into the top end of the unit or via the ECG
mounts on the top of the control panel.
The rear of the unit contains the battery compartment.
