Ipad- certain SimVS configurations come with an Ipad. You will need to register the Ipad under your own apple ID to set it up. Then download the SimVS student app from the App store.
Thank you for your purchase of a SimVS system. This manual will be your guide to setting up your system. By reading the manual and following the steps we hope to guide you the best we can. If you are still having trouble setting up your system, you can schedule a webinar with us anytime at, simvs.com under the Contact tab.

On the Fly operations and Editing an existing Scenario
The EDIT screen accessed by the PENCIL icon allows individual controls of scenario parameters. The EDIT screen is divided into 4 main sections.
Upper Left : Scenario and Part name and time control
Middle Left: Parts
Lower Left: Notes
Right: Cardiac or Respiratory tabs
The Scenarios can be run “On the Fly” from the Edit screen by simply selecting a physiology setting and sending to students with the RUN WITH CHANGES selection.
While running an existing scenario operators have 2 options to make parameter changes: for the current instance or permanent edits.
To change a parameter for a single occurrence simply make the desired change
and select RUN WITH CHANGES
Operators do not have to go through the parts linearly.
They can select which part they would like to play by selecting it and having the blue dot indicate it will be active once RUN WITH CHANGES is selected.

Let’s review both methods
Copy and Existing Scenario
Step 1 – Open the Library
Step 2- Scroll to the scenario you would like to copy
Step 3 – Select the Copy icon which is the one at the far right of the
selected scenario name
The Copied scenario will appear in the master scenario list as Copy of
Create a new scenario
Step 1. Select the + sign in the upper right of the Library Screen
The Add Scenario Screen appears:
Step 2. From here you create new parts and input the values for those
parts.
Name the part, identify how long it should run for before the scenario moves
to the next part, assign physiology values to the part.
Step 3. Once a part is complete select UPDATE PART in lower right
Step 4. Add the next part by selecting the ADD PART button. Parts can
also be deleted or reordered. Continue adding Parts until done.
Step 5. To create a new checklist simply select EDIT CHECKLIST at the top
right of the screen and enter the checklist items in the order you would like
them to appear.
Step 6. Once the whole scenario is complete press > SAVE
The new scenario will be added to the Library queue in alphabetic order.
Editing an Existing scenario or Checklist
Step 1- From the Scenario Library select the pencil icon to the right of
the Scenario.
Step 2- The Edit screen opens. Select the part you would like to edit.
Change any value and then select UPDATE PART.
Note new parts can be added here at any time.
Step 3 – SAVE your changes.
Controls
The Controls icon allows a defibrillator control screen to appear. Here the student can simulate all actions they would use with a defibrillator.
The students selections are broadcast to the instructor
Checklists
Every scenario has its own custom checklist of the required actions within a
scenario. This is a powerful debriefing tool and can also be used as a
permanent record of the encounter.
Instructors can select items as the scenario is unfolding and these are time stamped.
Instructors can also indicate team composition, freeform notes and pass/fail information.
At the end of the scenario checklists can be emailed to the instructor for permanent storage.
Media
The media/12 lead button contains a repository of images that Instructors can broadcast to the student’s screen by simply selecting the item and then selecting “ send to student”.
Users can create Custom folders on their devices and customize these for individual scenarios. Users can add any image to the device and upload them for use in a scenario.
To add files to the device they can be imported from the Gallery. Any images you want to upload to the app need to first be saved to the tablet in the gallery and then can be uploaded to the app.
Two easy methods to capture images are, one to take a photo with the tablet itself and it will go to the gallery, or two to take a screenshot of an image online and then upload it.
Steps:
- Open up the Manage Media tab on the home screen
- Select Add in the top right corner
- Create a folder and name it
- Open folder and select Add
- In the gallery select images to be added to folder
- Caption your image
Alarms
Physiologic ranges for alarms can be set for the most commonly monitored
physiology. These are set on the Instructor side when writing a scenario and
on the student side when scenarios are running.
Telemetry
A new telemetry feature has been included in the Ipad version of the Student app. This can be accessed in either the Patient Monitor or Defibrillator modes.
Using this feature instructors may display up to 4 cardiac rhythms and physiologic parameters at the same time.
When Telemetry is selected on the student app the instructor has the option to choose to display from 1-4 patients.
On the Instructor tablet in the Edit screen the user selects the rhythm for each of the patients 1 through 4 by using the TOP navigation.

Instructor View
Trending/ Email and Labs
The trending feature allows instructors to set variable parameters within a part. The designed parameter change is selected first and then the time for the change to occur. Once all changes are selected SET is pressed. Trending occurs and is indicated by the flashing trending button in the upper right on the instructor screen.
Email Scenarios
Scenarios can be emailed to other tablets and shared. Go to the Library,
select the first down area and then select the person to send the scenario
too. Email must be set up on the tablet. Instructors should email newly
created scenarios to themselves.
