The Adult ECS is the low end high fidelity human patient simulator available from METI. Some of its features include:

  • Adult male of average build.
  • Three pupil sizes that must be manually set.
  • Ability to ooze liquid from the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth with TDCK.
  • Built-in speaker in the head (most users find this tinny and inadequate).
  • Various airway obstructions can be controlled by software.
  • Anatomically correct airway can be intubated.
  • Bag lungs as opposed to the HPS mechanical lung.
  • Right arm can be used for IV and IM.
  • Left arm can be used to find BP.
  • Pedal, femoral, radial, brachial and carotid pulse points.
  • Chest can be needle decompressed.
  • Limited range of motion in limbs and trunk. (Trunk bends about 30 degrees.)
  • Can be catheterized.
  • 'Umbilical cord' leaving lower back is used to transmit fluids and electrical signals from a black box system. The cord is approximately 5-6 feet and doesn't bend very well.
  • The black box is about 1x2x3 feet.
  • Fluids are provided externally. Compressed air at 50 psi is provided externally.

I'm sure I've left something out. Feel free to add to this list and add your impressions.
