Description
Key Features
Core Ultrasound Component: The VARRS is the central piece of the VausSim system's sensor network. It is a module that connects to the probes and RFID tags to provide a simulated, real-time ultrasound image on a connected screen.
Versatility: This module, when combined with VausSim software and probes, can make the skin of any simulator or manikin "ultrasound scannable." This transforms basic manikins into advanced ultrasound simulators, providing a cost-effective solution for institutions.
Wireless Technology: The VausSim system, including the reference module, is designed to be mobile and not sensitive to magnetic fields, ensuring continuous functionality during patient transport scenarios or in various training settings.
High-Fidelity Sensor Network: The module works with a network of high-fidelity sensors (RFID tags) that an instructor can place on a manikin's body to create new, dynamic scanning points.
Integrated System: The VARRS works seamlessly with VausSim's simulated probes (curved, linear, and phased array) and the user-friendly, browser-based instructor interface.
Key Uses
Converting Manikins: The primary use is to upgrade existing manikins or patient simulators to include advanced ultrasound capabilities without the need for a completely new, expensive system.
Ultrasound Skills Training: It is used to teach and train students and professionals in ultrasound diagnostic skills. The system allows learners to practice probe manipulation, image interpretation, and identifying anatomical landmarks and pathologies.
Scenario-Based Training: The VARRS module facilitates dynamic, scenario-based training. An instructor can change the patient's pathological ultrasound status in real-time during a scenario (e.g., simulating internal bleeding), requiring the student to respond and adapt their assessment.
POCUS Training: It is an ideal tool for training in Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), as it allows learners to perform a simulated scan and immediately see the corresponding virtual image on a screen, mirroring real-world clinical practice.
Standardized Patient Simulation: The system can be used with standardized patients (actors) to provide a more realistic training experience while still providing objective ultrasound data for assessment.
