About the Auscultation Simulator:
The
Life/form
®
Auscultation Trainer Simulator
duplicates heart and lung conditions selected
by the instructor by wireless remote control.
The student must palpate to identify the correct
auscultation sites and will hear different heart
and lung sounds as the SmartScope™ is
moved from site to site.
The simulator has six heart sites and five lung
sound sites on the anterior surface and
midaxillary sites. The remote control can
select from 12 different heart conditions, 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 point-
ed directly at the manikin or stethoscope to
operate. One remote control will operate mul-
tiple sets of SmartScopes™ and manikins simul-
taneously. 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 sends a signal to activate the
stethoscope as well. After the unit is activated,
the display will be in the “status” mode, display-
ing the current menu settings for the heart and
lung conditions.
To select a new condition, press either the
heart or lung button. This will put the display
into the menu mode. The user can select a
condition by either using the number buttons,
or by viewing the conditions in sequence
using the scroll button. After the condition is
selected press the enter button to activate.
The remote control can be programmed to
these heart conditions:
01 Normal
02 Aortic regurgitation
03 Pulmonary stenosis
04 Mitral stenosis
05 Holosystolic
06 Mid-systolic
07 S3 Gallop
08 S4 Gallop
09 Systolic click
10 Atrial septal defect
11 PDA
12 VSD
The remote control can be programmed to
these lung conditions:
01 Normal Lung
02 Normal Vesicular
03 Wheezes
04 Mono wheeze
05 Fine crackle
06 Coarse crackle
07 Ronchi crackle
08 Stridor
09 Cavernous
10 Bronchovesicular
11 Bronchial
12 Pulmonary edema
13 Infant
14 Friction rub
15 Egophony
16 Pectoriloquy
Consult the enclosed laminated card for
lung and heart sound site locations.
To listen to the selected sounds, place the
earpieces in ears angled in a forward posi-
tion. Place the diaphragm of the
SmartScope™over one of the appropriate
sites on the manikin (see diagram on back).
As an alternative, an amplified speaker
(SB20146U) can be used allowing an entire
classroom to hear at the same time. To con-
nect the speaker, plug the speaker cord into
the speaker jack on the top of the Smart
Scope™ box. When a speaker is connected
to the SmartScope™, the ear pieces will not
work. Place the diaphragm of the
SmartScope™over the appropriate sites on
the manikin.
Note:
The remote has a battery saver that
shuts the unit down after 8 minutes if the
remote is left on the same setting. To
prevent it from shutting down, select a differ-
ent heart or lung sound within the 8 minute
period of time.
