This simulator helps you to become familiar with Thopaz+ and its advanced functions. You can… - simulate a functional check - simulate visual and audio warnings and alarms - simulate the catheter check - change all menu settings - simulate fluid drainage - see examples of air leak and fluid histories - see an example of an event history DISCLAIMER: This app is intended to be a tool to provide information only.
