VitalsBridge

Bridging the gap between simulation and real patient monitors

;

Real monitors, real training

Use VitalsBridge during simulation training to present vital signs onto a commercially available patient monitor. By using the same patient monitor used in clinical practice, you can allow learners to interpret vital signs as they will in a real clinical setting and increase simulation realism.

The result is better-trained and more confident healthcare providers, reduced medical errors and increased efficiency.

Introducing the New VitalsBridge4

VitalsBridge4 offers upgraded, faster hardware components that now allow you to connect your device to control your vitals signs via Bluetooth LE and 5 GHz WiFi, in addition to ethernet, serial (USB), and 2.4 GHz WiFi. ​

New features include field firmware updates from the cloud, intracranial pressure (ICP), and improved oxygen saturation (SpO2) compatibility. VitalsBridge4 can be configured to add any of the following vital signs to meet your needs: ​

  • Additional temperature​
  • Invasive blood pressures ​
  • Arterial​
  • Central venous​
  • Pulmonary artery​
  • Pulmonary capillary wedge​
  • Intracranial pressure (ICP)
  • Electrocardiogram (5 lead) ​
  • Respiration rate​
  • Mainstream capnography​
  • Sidestream capnography​

Display simulated vital signs on any clinical monitor to bring your simulations one step closer to reality.

VitalsBridge™ FM

Now you can use real patient monitors in your obstetric labor and delivery simulations.  VitalsBridge FM allows you to view and interact with vital signs from both fetal and maternal patient simulators and a commercially available patient monitor, increasing simulation realism.

The following signals are supported:

  • Uterine Activity (Toco)
  • Fetal Heart Rate (Doppler Ultrasound)
  • Maternal Non-Invasive Blood Pressure
  • Maternal SpO2
  • Maternal ECG

Enhanced critical care simulations with realistic capnography for ACLS training

Confirm Patient Monitor's compatibility

Confirm your monitor(s) are compatible with VitalsBridge

VitalsBridge is supplied with a cable set specific to the patient monitor(s) you use, as these can vary significantly. To ensure VitalsBridge is compatible with your patient monitor(s) please complete the online VitalsBridge configuration questionnaire by selecting either of the tabs below based on the VitalsBridge model selected.

  • Before beginning the questionnaire, you will need have the brand(s) and model name(s) of the patient monitor(s) including the cables used during your simulations.
  • If more than one brand or model will be used with VitalsBridge, an additional questionnaire must be completed for each.
  • On completion of the questionnaire, select submit.
  • A VitalsBridge representative will review your questionnaire and confirm compatibility via email.
  • If an order is received, a representative will contact you to confirm there has been no changes prior to shipment.
