March of Dimes Report More than 1 million babies born prematurely reportedly die each year and the March of Dimes suggests the situation could worsen. The report, which used data collected by the World Health Organization, notes the highest rate of prematurity is in Africa followed by Asia and North America.
Gaumard recognizes this large and growing problem. As part of our global commitment to the children, we offer two Premie simulators the Premie Blue and Premie HAL®. Both simulators are fully described on our website www.gaumard.com. Premie HAL uses our proven tetherless technology, making it the world’s most advanced Premie simulator. HAL weighs in at just under 1400 grams.
Contact Gaumard to learn more about our growing family of tetherless simulators designed to provide a realisitic learning experience.
US Army awards AWR certification for the HAL® simulator from Gaumard® Scientific Gaumard, who pioneered tetherless simulation in 2004, announced that its HAL tetherless simulator achieved Airworthiness Release (AWR) Certification from the United States army on July 13, 2007. AWR certification is a fundamental milestone that allows the U.S. military to use Gaumard’s tetherless HAL and its wireless laptop computer, supplied by Motion Computing, during flight operations aboard MEDEVAC H-60 Helicopter.
The U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) completed extensive aeromedical testing and evaluation of HAL during 2006 in its laboratories, as well as in flight assessments by engineers and medical personnel under a variety of flight conditions aboard a JUH-60A helicopter. Tests include electromagnetic interference and compatibility EMI/EMC, environmental, and human factors testing to certify HAL meets stringent requirements to operate onboard U.S. military aircraft during flight. Meeting the Army’s airworthiness requirements marks HAL as the first tetherless simulator awarded this distinction. This extensive testing program, which even included emergency decompression from 45000 feet, further affirms HAL’s durability, reliability, and performance in demanding environments.
NOELLE® Delivers in Munich NOELLE® is a regular visitor to this terrific Bavarian city. This time NOELLE® visited InSIM 2009 where Dr. Marc Lazarovici and Dr. Cristoph Scholz presented her to visitors at the INM simulation center.
Thanks go to Dr. Lazarovici who provided these photos of NOELLE® who delivered time and time again without even once complaining! These photos show just a part of INM’s innovative simulation center designed to transport patients from one venue to another while cameras record every action of the participants. A perfect application for a family of tetherless simulators!
As many of you know, Gaumard pioneered tetherless simulation back in 2004 in response to the simulation community who needed simulators that could be treated like real patients. Now, in 2009, Gaumard is proud to lead the way with a growing family of eight advanced tetherless simulators. Many thanks to all for a very enjoyable and productive meeting.
NOELLE® a hit in Berlin Standing room only crowds were evident at the 9th International Perinatal Conference where Dr. Amos Grunebaum, Director of Obstetrics at the Weill Cornell Medical College, presented Goals of Shoulder Dystocia Drills using the NOELLE® 575 as a willing participant.
The NOELLE® 575 is the most advanced of our NOELLE® family of obstetric simulators. She is tetherless and effortlessly transitions between physiologic states in response to commands from a wireless tablet PC. NOELLE® performed flawlessly and never once complained! Thanks go to Dr. Grunebaum for a terrific delivery.
NORDIC SIMULATORS OY Jani Wallenius and his team in Lahti, Finland specialize in building turn-key simulation centers and feature Gaumard’s entire family of tetherless simulators. Visit their website at www.nordicsimulators.fi and go to the NEWS page to learn more. Jani points out that an entire Gaumard tetherless family has moved north to near the Arctic Circle and settled near Oulu Polytechnic University! We wish them all the very best!
