14. Can the student print out the debriefing?
Yes. Students and instructors can print out specific case scenario and cognitive test debriefings from
two locations: the debriefing screen and the competency review screen when a specific debriefing is
accessed. Installation of a Laerdal Competence Management system will allow you to print additional
information.
15. Can the debriefing report be downloaded into a database?
Yes. Installation of a Laerdal Competence Management System will allow you to download various
reports into a database format..
16. Can I access the student performance database from my office computer over a network?
Yes. Installation of the Laerdal Competence Management System will allow users to access student
performance and competence from anywhere on the internet..
17. I keep getting the message “Put the catheter back on the device”, even though I have already
performed that function. What do I do?
This may be an indication that the device requires calibration. If you do this 3 times, you will get
a message asking you to automatically calibrate the sensor. Place the catheter completely on the
needle, and click “Auto-Calibrate.”
18. I have installed other software on the computer, and the simulator either slows down, there is
an error with the haptic device communication, or the program crashes. What do I do?
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. Other soft-
ware, such as anti-virus programs, may run on the machine in the background, severely limiting the
performance of the simulator. The best solution is to never install such software in the first place, turn
it off or delete it once it has been installed. An alternative solution, if you are required to run anti-virus
software, is to increase the memory on your machine. Contact Laerdal Technical Service for further
guidance.
19. The needle stays in the arm although it has been withdrawn from the device. What is going on?
If you pull the needle out “too quickly” a magnet within the haptic device will un-latch. This is a limi-
tation of the hardware and is un-avoidable. Thus, you should always remove the catheter from the
haptic device in a slow manner. Jerking the catheter out of the patient is dangerous. Jerking the cath-
eter out of the device may cause un-expected behavior or device failure. If the needle gets left inside
the arm on the Simulation Screen, you can also throw away that needle and select a new needle; and
the device will reset.
