ACLSMED Sim
Read full descriptionHide full description
ACLSMED Simulator turns iPads into a high-fidelity clinical training rig: one iPad becomes the patient monitor + defibrillator + pacer, another the instructor remote driving the scenario โ and, new in 2.0, a six-station CPR skills trainer. Built for nursing schools, paramedic programs, residency simulation labs, and ACLS courses. Aligned with AHA 2025 guidelines (effective March 2026). WHAT'S IN THE APP โข MONITOR ROLE โ Full patient monitor with up to six clinical channels: HR/ECG, ART/NIBP, PA, CVP, SpOโ, and EtCOโ. Real-time waveform engine, alarm flash, integrated defibrillator (charge โ shock โ reset), and transcutaneous pacer. New in 2.0: hardware device shells โ hospital defib, brushed-metal, and transport styles with color variants. โข INSTRUCTOR ROLE โ Educator-facing control panel. Drive vitals, switch among 47 rhythm presets (sinus, atrial, SVT, junctional, ventricular, AV blocks, paced, arrest), run 33 megacode scenarios, trigger alarms, toggle CPR artifact, and step through 12-lead ECG presentations. โข IVMED ROLE โ Infusion pump trainer with a 61-drug library, weight-based dosing, and soft/hard limit alerts. โข RESPMED ROLE โ Ventilator trainer: AC/VC, PRVC, BiPAP, and PSV modes with lung pathologies and ABG presentation. โข CPR SIMULATOR ROLE (NEW IN 2.0) โ A multi-station CPR skills trainer on one iPad. Up to six students place an iPhone running the free ACLSMED CPR app on a training manikin's sternum, hands on top: a two-minute timed test with a live quality bar per student, ring-gauge results for rate, depth zone, and hands-on time, a focus area for each student, a class leaderboard โ and every student's grade delivered to their own phone. WORKS WITH ACLSMED CPR (FREE) ACLSMED CPR is our free iPhone companion โ a CPR counter and feedback trainer for manikin practice. The phone lies on the manikin's chest under the student's hands and measures every compression: rate, honest depth zones, and hands-on time, with a 110/min metronome. Alone it scores solo practice; paired, it powers the CPR Simulator test and drives the monitor's compression artefact, vitals response, and code-debrief hands-on fraction. Student phones never need a seat. โข PAIRING โ Automatic discovery over local Wi-Fi with Bluetooth fallback; signed envelopes keep every device in lockstep. โข AUDIO โ Synthesized HR beep tracking SpOโ, ICU alarms, defib charge ramp + shock thump, 110 bpm CPR metronome, and voice prompts. โข OFFLINE โ Once paired, the simulation runs entirely on-device. WHO IT'S FOR Nurses, paramedics, EMTs, medical students, residents, and ACLS instructors who need a portable, repeatable, clinically credible megacode environment and can be used with CPR manikins. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED ACLSMED Simulator requires a plan, purchased in the app. Two tiers, each as an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription or a one-time lifetime license: โข ACLSMED Pro Patient Monitor + Instructor Remote + CPR Simulator (licenses 2 devices) โข ACLSMED Suite adds IVmed pump + RESPmed ventilator (licenses 4 devices) Payment is charged to your Apple ID.

MockCode is a professional CPR simulation facilitation tool designed for ICU educators, simulation coordinators, and resuscitation training teams. Built around published resuscitation guidelines, MockCode captures real-time CPR quality metrics during mock code exercises and delivers a comprehensive clinical scorecard for structured debriefs. DESIGNED FOR THE SIMULATION ROOM MockCode puts the facilitator in control. One thumb on the compression button, one eye on the team. The interface is engineered for clinical environments โ static layout, thumb-optimized button placement, and zero cognitive load during live scenarios. REAL-TIME CPR QUALITY METRICS โข Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) โ live with colour-coded targets โข Compression rate โ 15-second rolling window โข Total pause time and CPR active time โข Timeline visualisation of compressions vs pauses CLINICAL EVENT LOGGING โ ONE TAP EACH โข Leader Assignment and CPR Coach role โข Shock / Defibrillation with automatic pre-shock pause calculation โข Epinephrine with 3-5 minute interval alerts โข Pulse and Rhythm checks with cycle interval tracking โข Compressor switch with 2-minute rotation reminders โข H&T (reversible causes) tracking โข Amiodarone / Lidocaine logging GUIDELINE-ALIGNED CLINICAL SCORECARD MockCode analyses every session against published resuscitation guidelines and generates a structured scorecard with Critical, Caution, and Met flags for VF/pVT and PEA/Asystole scenarios. POST-ROSC CARE CHECKLIST When ROSC is achieved, MockCode transitions to a comprehensive post-arrest care checklist โ each item timestamped when completed. COMPLETE SESSION REPORT Export a full session report including the clinical scorecard, all metrics, event timeline, shock analysis, and post-arrest checklist. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE No internet required. No external databases. No servers. Everything runs on your device. PRIVACY FIRST MockCode collects no personal data, transmits nothing externally, and stores only anonymous session summaries locally on your device. DISCLAIMER MockCode is a simulation facilitation tool for educational purposes only. It is not a medical device. All clinical decisions remain the sole responsibility of the qualified facilitator. Not for use with real patients.
