Option 2: Regulator Unit
If you have purchased Laerdal SimMan with the Regulator Unit,
attach one end of the double lumen tube to the “Air/CO
2
out to
Manikin” outlet on the regulator and the other to the right axillary
side of the manikin.
Start procedure:
1) Close Air valve (Shut off Air) and CO
2
valve (Shut off CO
2
).
2) Connect Air supply (5-8 bar) to the “Air in” connector using
the blue hosing attached.
3) Connect CO
2
supply (4-6 bar) to the “CO
2
in” connector using
the black hosing attached (optional feature).
4) Open Air valve (Shut off Air) and CO
2
valve (Shut off CO
2
).
5) Jet ventilation (TTJV) requires a special connector
(available for purchase using part number 381201).
Stop procedure:
Close Air valve (Shut off Air) and CO
2
valve (Shut off CO
2
).
Operating software
The SimMan Software serves as the instructor's tool for controlling
the training scenario. It requires the following:
a) Type; Dell
b) Processor: Minimum Pentium M 1,8 GHz or better
c) Hard drive: 60 GB minimum
d) RAM: 512 MB minimum
e) System : Windows XP Pro
f) Screen: Dual Screen with min. 1280 x 1024
g) Mouse: Two (2) button scroll wheel mouse
h) Other: CD-RW, RS-232 (serial port), 2-4 USB ports, Built-in
Ethernet LAN, Internal Bluetooth, Microphone input, Headphone
output
For software installation, see instructions included in the Install
Guide. The software features are:
a) Training controls via computer keyboard, mouse and/or PDA
b) Extensive ECG library with variable rates and a range of
extrasystole types
c) Variable pacemaker threshold (external pacemaker training only)
d) Control of manikin functions

simulation
- Temperature display
e) Auscultation sounds
- Lung
- Heart
- Bowel
f) Vocal sounds
- Numerous vocal sounds are available (moan, vomit, cough, etc.)
- Additional sounds can be recorded by the user
- Microphone option (instructor may speak directly through
the manikin’s head speaker by using a microphone)
g) Left/right or bilateral lung obstruction
h) Pulse strength
i) Activity Log
j) Scenario Builder
k) Trend Editor
l) Event Handler
m)Debriefing including activity log synchronized with video
and monitor pictures
PDA remote control
A personal digital assistant or PDA is used as the remote control.
The PDA communicates with the software via Bluetooth. A PDA
User Guide is included in the peripheral kit. Refer to this guide for
additional information.
Simulated Patient Monitor
The Simulated Patient Monitor is connected to the PC (laptop). It is
a touch screen monitor that provides concise clinical feedback of
physiological parameters. All parameters are instructor-activated
with the ability to set a lower and higher alarm limit for every para-
meter shown on the monitor. The monitor may be configured to
display the desired parameters and curves and it is possible to save
and retrieve five (5) configurations. Colors and curve trace speeds
can also be changed. The CO
2
curve has by default a slower trace
speed. Because all information is simulated rather than actual, the
parameters, with the exception of ECG, cannot be “measured or
displayed” on clinical equipment. For additional information, refer to
the software helpfiles.
The monitor provides the following output (synchronized with all
other clinical outputs)
- Arterial blood pressure waveform
- CO
2
and capnograph waveform
- Heart rate related to SpO

- BP – with timed automatic updating and ‘BP now’ function
- Respiratory rate
- Blood Temperature
- Peripheral Temperature
