ECG Simulator
$5,895.00
The ECG Simulator is an award-winning, unique teaching tool designed to provide students with hands-on experience in ECG/EKG lead placement and rhythm interpretation. This simulator allows students to practice accurate lead placement through rib palpation and gain familiarity with interpreting 3-, 4-, 5-, and 12-lead rhythms.
With its software and curriculum, the simulator offers individual practice and assessment opportunities to strengthen rhythm reading and lead placement skills. Students will not only practice recognizing rhythms on both screen and hard copy but will also learn techniques for avoiding common errors.

What careers can this ECG Simulator help students prepare for? Potential job opportunities include: electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) technician, electrocardiograph aide, cardiac monitor technician, cardiac monitor technician, cardiographic technician, rhythm analysis technician, telemetry monitor technician, and medical assistant. The median average salary for an EKG technician ranges from $55,500 to $80,000 a year. What classes is the ECG Simulator often used in? The ECG Simulator can help students prepare for the Certified EKG Technician (CET) examination offered by the National Health Career Association (NHA). Any class that offers practical clinical or critical care would benefit from practicing with this simulator. Students training to become a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, paramedic, and BLS/EMT can use this simulator to learn the principles of electrocardiography.General Usage
How do I use this simulator? ECG Simulator demonstration What electrodes can be used on the ECG Simulator? It is recommended to use electrodes supplied by Realityworks (3M 2330 series), as the adhesive will not damage the simulator surface. Replacement parts can be purchased on our website, ECG Electrodes Supply Pack (Qty 100). If using electrodes not supplied by Realityworks, it is recommend to try adhesion on a non-critical area to ensure the adhesion will not damage the simulator surface. What comes with the app on the smart device? The app includes a library of 16 default practice and assessment rhythms to improve ECG skills and assess students’ knowledge. The rhythms include: asystole, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, bradycardia, first degree heart block, left bundle branch block, normal sinus rhythm, premature atrial contractions, premature ventricular contractions, right bundle branch block, second degree heart block, supraventricular tachycardia, tachycardia, third degree heart block, ventricular fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia. Can the smart device access Wi-Fi? Yes! However, you do not need to use Wi-Fi to use the ECG app. Can the smart device screen cast and take screenshots? Yes, the smart device has both of those functions. Can the instructor customize the assessments? Yes! The instructor can choose from a variety of lead placement scenarios, thus creating a variety of assessment options to test students’ skills. What languages are available in the app? The smart device display language options include English and Spanish. How do you know if the lead is placed correctly or incorrectly? The corresponding lead signal on the app will display red for incorrect placement and green for correct placement. How do I clean my ECG Simulator? Use alcohol and a soft cloth as needed. Do NOT use water on the simulator. Is there a certificate of completion? Yes! Teachers can download a certificate of completion once the student has completed the included Introduction to Electrocardiography curriculum. How many simulators would you recommend for a 20-student classroom? We recommend two simulators for a 20-student classroom. Do you offer product support? Yes! Our product support team is available M-F 8am-5pm Central Time via phone, email, or chat. Contact customer support here. What additional program support do you provide?
