Introduction SimNewB is a tetherless newborn simulator designed to help improve neonatal resuscitation and to meet the specific learning objectives of neonatal resuscitation protocols. Focusing on the first 10 minutes of life, SimNewB provides realistic training for critical interventions. Items included may vary in appearance and are subject to change.
System Overview & Setup SimNewB can be controlled by the operator either by using a tablet or PC running Laerdal’s LLEAP software, or using SimPad Plus which is Laerdal’s proprietary tablet. Both LLEAP and SimPad Plus allow the operator to run sessions either by using pre-programmed scenarios in Automatic Mode, or in Manual Mode.

Preparing for Simulation - Inserting the meconium module • Insert the module with a finger - do not use force. • A suction catheter @ 100 mmHg will remove the meconium module. • A tether has been added to ensure removal of the object. Notes: •...
Preparing for Simulation - Umbilical Venous Catheterization Insert blood in reservoir. 1 ml Place tip and fill with maximum 1 ml blood. Place Umbilical Cord into naval. Twist to lock in place. www.laerdal.com/support/How-to-Videos...
Preparing for Simulation - Umbilical Venous Catheterization Large Volume Infusions If scenario requires large volume infusions of fluid (exceeding 10 ml), connect empty drain bag to simulator. www.laerdal.com/support/How-to-Videos...
Preparing for Simulation - IO Leg - Large Volume Infusions Connect empty drain bag to heel to prepare for intraosseous large volume infusion of medication.
Lubricate Tools Lubricate laryngoscope blade and tubes prior to insertion into the airway. Non-lubricated instruments and tubes may cause damage to the airway. Only use Silicone Lubricant provided by Laerdal Medical. Lubricate SimNewB Lubricate the front of the simulator prior to delivery scenarios. Only use the Birthing Lubricant Gel...
Use - Unilateral Left Thorasentisis Midaxillary Access Insert needle between the 4th and 5th intercostal space. Caution Insertion of the needle outside this area may cause damage to the simulator.
Use - Lung Recruitment Settings Lung Recruitment Settings Change between 4 and 7 opening breaths before you start session. SimPad Plus Activate Lung Recruitment in Manual Mode before starting scenario. 1. Press 2. Select ventilation number 3. Press 4. Start...
Use Levels to simplify operation when running sessions in Manual Mode. Each Level 0 - 5 represents a predefined set of vital signs. Toggle directly between Levels as the session progresses to change the clinical state of SimNewB. SimPad Plus...
Care and Cleaning General Care • To maintain simulator skins, wash hands before use and place the simulator on a clean surface. • Use gloves during simulation scenarios. Avoid using colored plastic gloves, as they may cause discoloration of the simulator skin. •...
