C.A.R.E. SimVAD

C.A.R.E. SimVAD turns an iPad and an iPhone into a complete LVAD training station. The iPad becomes a bedside console — pump speed, flow, power, and pulsatility with live waveforms and realistic alarms. The iPhone becomes the instructor's remote: trigger scenarios, adjust hemodynamics, and silence alarms in real time over your local network. No laptop, no server, no setup. EIGHT TRAINING SCENARIOS • Normal Operation (free) • Low Flow Alarm — hypovolemia and volume assessment • Suction Event — low PI, near-flat waveform • Power / Battery Critical — the most emergent LVAD alarm • Pump Thrombosis — high power with hemolysis pattern • Hypertension / High Afterload • RV Failure — high CVP, poor filling • Ventricular Arrhythmia — irregular pulsatility, VT/VF rhythms BUILT FOR CLINICAL EDUCATION • Live flow + EKG waveforms in physiologic lockstep • Manual HR / MAP / PAP / CVP adjustment mid-scenario • Console settings: pump speed, hematocrit, low-flow alarm threshold • Authentic alarm tones and color-coded severity • Sessions run offline on your own devices — no patient data, ever Designed for nursing, paramedic, perfusion, and critical-care education. Either device also works standalone. INSTRUCTOR GUIDE INCLUDED A printable Instructor Guide — session checklist, console cheat sheets, and a scripted teaching page for every scenario with expected findings and debrief points — is free at legal.csu-als.org/simvad (no purchase required). SIMULATION ONLY — NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. All data is synthetic. Never use this app for the care of a real patient. Full access is an auto-renewing subscription ($4.99/month or $44.99/year) with a free 3-day trial.
