Teaching stethoscope SimScope®

electronicwireless

SimScope® stethoscope allows to auscultate Standardized Patients as well as manikins by placing RFID tag sensors on corresponding anatomical locations. It can be also used with Objective Structured Clinical Examination training (OSCE) or any other examination standard. By accessing the auscultation software, educators can pick any sound from the large Cardionics auscultation sound library, enabling their students to actively engage in auscultation practice and hands-on training. When using the SimScope® Wi-Fi model, the embedded wireless technology enables communication with the controller tablet (optional purchase) allowing instructors to instantly alter the parameters of their scenario directly from the tablet. If a student initiates an intervention that requires a change in condition, or if the simulation requires efficient use of time, the built-in WiFi connectivity allows parameters to be altered on-the-fly. SimScope® is delivered with seven sets of RFID tag sensor patches which are to be placed on anatomically correct locations on any manikin or Standardized Patient. Each patch has a label indicating its dedicated anatomical location, to make sure the sounds are always heard from the correct location. A pre-selected auscultation sound will play as soon as the trainee places the stethoscope’s chest piece on the correct location.
