Manikins
ALS Manikin
Symbio has partnered with manufacturers of ALS manikins to design and to build the electronics and pneumatics systems that control these active features of their ALS manikins:
Airway features
- Larynx edema
- Tongue edema
- Wrong intubation
Breathing features
- Chest rise (spontaneous)
- Chest rise (rescue breathing)
- Pneumothorax
- Pulse ox module
- Lung sounds
Circulation features
- Chest compression depth
- ECG waveforms
- Defibrillation detection
- Paced beats simulation
- Pulse points (individually controlled)
- Blood pressure measurement
- Cyanosis
- Heart sounds
Disability features
- Reactive Eyes
- Voice
Exposure features
- Bleeding
- Fluids from eyes, nose, mouth
Manikin Software Applications
Symbio has developed several manikin software applications. Instructors use them to monitor and to control: a BP Arm skills trainer, a manikin with built-in CPR sensors and a birthing manikin.
Blood Pressure Trainer
An application for wirelessly controlling a standalone BP Arm skills trainer. Instructors select systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, auscultatory gap, sound volume and heart rate. Runs on Apple® mobile devices.
CPR SkillsCoach
A CPR application that displays and summarizes CPR data that's received wirelessly from a manikin with built-in CPR sensors. In Practice mode, students are presented with real-time visual and auditory feedback on compressions, ventilations and hands-off time. In Evaluation mode, instructors select students' names from the database, record students' CPR sessions and then generate debriefing reports which can be viewed on screen, printed or e-mailed. Runs on iPad®.
Fetal Heart Monitor
Firmware embedded within a birthing manikin that transmits graphs of uterine activity and fetal heart rate to a PC or tablet for illustrating the effects that uterine activity can have on fetal heart rate during a delivery.
Selectable contraction parameters include: frequency, duration, strength and resting tone. Selectable fetal heart rate parameters include: rate, variability, various decelerations and accelerations, and periodicity.
