Auscultation Trainer
Simulator duplicates heart and lung
conditions selected by the instructor
by wireless remote control. The stu-
dent must palpate to identify the cor-
rect auscultation sites and will hear dif-
ferent heart and lung sounds as the
SmartScope™ is moved from site to
site. The simulator duplicates human
conditions as closely as modern plas-
tics and electronic technology allows
— it’s almost the real thing. Care and
treatment should be the same as with
a patient.
The simulator has six heart sites and
four lung sound sites on the anterior
surface, with 14 lung sound locations
on the posterior. The remote control
can select from 12 different heart condi-
tions, as well as 16 lung conditions.
The instructor can select any condition,
then switch to another condition easily
so the student can compare sounds
and make a diagnosis.
The remote control does not have to
be pointed directly at the manikin or
stethoscope to operate. One remote
control will operate multiple sets of
SmartScopes™ and manikins simulta-
neously. Great for group instruction.
The range of the remote control is up
to 100 feet.
General Instructions for Use
To begin using the Auscultation
Trainer, press the red power button.
This turns on the remote control and

To select a new condition, press either
the heart or lung button. This will put the
