Software Features
The VitalsBridge software allows the user to monitor connectivity between the VitalsBridge and the
SimMan 3G/Essential, calibration of SpO
2
and CO
2
signals, and configuration of other settings.
Additionally, if some waveforms are unneeded for the simulation (e.g., PAP/PCWP, CVP, CO
2
), uncheck
the box next to the vital sign's label. CO
2
is off by default, check to enable capnography. The Calibrate
tab provides functionality for calibrating SpO
2
and CO
2
and selecting default or previously stored
calibrations.
SpO
2
Calibration
The VitalsBridge is pre-calibrated with factory settings for a Nellcor standard probe. If the SpO
2
value
set on the Instructor Application significantly deviates from the value on the vitals sign monitor, then it
is possible to use your own calibration. To perform a new calibration, first ensure the probe is properly
set and aligned on the manikin’s right index finger (page 14), then select “update“ next to the SpO2 label
located in the “Calibrate” tab. Then select “(New Calibration)”.
