Running the VitalsBridge™

 

Because the VitalsBridge requires a network connection with the SimMan 3G/Essential’s internal router, 
there is a specific sequence for initializing and running the VitalsBridge.  Assuming that both the 
VitalsBridge and SimMan 3G/Essential are turned off, the summary of the steps are as follows: 

1.

 

Power on the manikin and wait until manikin is breathing 

2.

 

Power on the SimMan 3G/Essential instructor PC  

3.

 

Run the Instructor Application software (either through the legacy SimMan 3G software or 
LLEAP) 

4.

 

Power on the VitalsBridge instrumentation, wait for network connection. 

5.

 

Run the VitalsBridge software 

 

Step 1: Power on the SimMan 3G/Essential manikin and wait until manikin is breathing.  Refer to the 
SimMan 3G/Essential’s directions for use on how to power on the manikin. 

Step 2: Power on the SimMan 3G/Essential instructor PC.  Refer to the SimMan 3G/Essential’s directions 
for use on how to appropriately power on the Instructor PC. 

Step 3: Run the Instructor Application software. Refer to the SimMan 3G/Essential’s directions for use on 
how to appropriately run the SimMan 3G Instructor Application software. 

Step 4: Power on the VitalsBridge instrumentation, wait for network connection. Use the toggle switch, 
located on the side panel, to power VitalsBridge on or off. Once powered on, the VitalsBridge takes 
approximately 6-15 seconds to initialize and attempt to connect to the manikin’s internal router.   

 

 

Check the status indicator lights on top of the VitalsBridge instrumentation to determine power and 
connectivity.
