Patient Name
The patient name, which is determined prior to shipping by the type of mannequin, appears at the top
of the Vimedix screen and on simulator-generated reports. Bob is the default patient name for the male
mannequin and Catherine is the default patient name for the female mannequin. Users can change the
patient name at their discretion and that manually assigned name will remain the same for future use
until it is changed.
NOTE: The patient name as indicated in the Settings window automatically appears on echo reports by
default.
Hospital Name
The hospital name, which is chosen prior to shipment, appears at the top of the VIMEDIX interface and
on simulator-generated reports.
Use Pressure Sensor
The pressure sensor can be turned on or off. When the pressure sensor is turned on, the probe must be
in contact with the mannequin to obtain an ultrasound image. When the sensor is turned off, an image
can be obtained by placing the probe close to the mannequin.
The pressure sensor is turned on by default. To turn the pressure sensor off, from the Settings window,
uncheck the
Use pressure sensor box, then click Close to exit the simulator settings.
Metrics Capture Interval
The Metrics Capture Interval setting determines how often the movement of the probe is captured
for metrics reports. CAE Healthcare recommends leaving Realtime selected.
Image Quality
The Image Quality setting can be used to change the level of noise on the ultrasound view. The default
setting is Easy . To increase the noise, change the setting to Difficult .
Use Popup Toolbar
The popup toolbar displays a condensed version of the CAE VIMEDIX interface and the options are
available in a drop-down menu format. This format is intended to simulate the monitor display on a real
ultrasound machine.
The popup toolbar mode is activated by default. To activate the expanded view from the Settings
window, uncheck the
Use Popup Toolbar box, then click Close to exit the simulator settings.
