The SimPad System is an easy to use wireless tool that performs relevant medical simulation training, including debriefing, in various user settings. With a large, intuitive touch screen, SimPad is a “Pick up and Play” experience, delivering simulation-based education, easily and efficiently. There are two ways to control simulations: Automatic Mode and Manual Mode. This allows customized simulations to meet specific needs. The SimPad System is compatible with a broad range of Laerdal products including manikins, patient simulators, and task trainers as well as standardized patients.

Patient Simulator Firmware Update
Connect SimPad to a different Link Box
When Link Box is connected to a Patient Simulator with internal firmware it will be automatically updated, if necessary.
SimPad can only be connected to one Link Box at a time. SimPad will try to re-establish a connection to any previous Link Box that it was connected to.
If an automatic update is interrupted, a forced update is necessary.
Select WiFi
Caution Ensure that the correct Simulator is selected. Selecting the wrong simulator may cause malfunction and require service.
