Frequently Asked Questions

Products

Can I shock the simulator with my defibrillator?
Yes. Symbio's ECG simulators are designed to withstand multiple series of shocks delivered throughout a day of training.
Why does the simulator's order number depend on the brand of defibrillator I am using?
The simulator has a PADS connector that mates with your defibrillator's therapy cable, and each defibrillator manufacturer's therapy cable has its own unique style of connector.
So, to ensure that your simulator can connect to your defibrillator, you specify which defibrillator brand you are using and we will install the correct PADS connector.
Do I need to download and to install an application for the simulator?
The simulator is ready to be used, as is. There is no application that needs to be installed.
