SimPad PLUS v. 9.0.7

222.4 MB
04.07.2025

New in this release:

Fix for an issue where the simulator would cough twice, instead of once, and show a warning about network quality on the SimPad after connecting using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Fix for an issue where the SimPad PLUS 2, Link Box PLUS 2 and CPUM 2 based simulators were frequently dropping connection to enterprise networks with a signal strength of 65 dBm or less.
Fix for an issue where the GUI controls for tracheostomy were not available for SimNewB if starting a session straight after a software update.
Fix for an issue where it was not possible to calibrate the blood pressure cuff on the Nursing Anne Simulator
After introduction of the banner notifying users that the network quality is poor, several users have complained that the banner is appearing too frequently – also when network quality is sufficient. In response to this feedback, we have adjusted the triggers for this message so that it should appear only when relevant.

Fixes for SimBaby:

Fix for an issue where the tracheostomy feature was in some cases not available in SimPad or LLEAP UI when connected to a SimBaby Tracheostomy. This issue has been reported multiple times over the last few years, and in this version the cause of this intermittent issue has been identified and fixed.
Fixed issue where SimBaby with CPU Module 2 would in some cases end up with a red light after upgrading.

Fixes for SimNewB:

Fixed issue where opening breath during lung recruitment was not working as intended. The airway valves were partially open during initial ventilation. This fixed was fixed so that airway valves stay closed during the initial ventilation, and gradually open through the required number of ventilations.
The version contains firmware to fix missing calibration functionality on start up in some circumstances for the chest rise pump on SimNewB. This solves an intermittent issue where breathing would not be very visible.
Fixed issue where the banner indicating that SimPad and simulator were on different versions would sometimes persist after a simulator update to compatible version.

Network and simulator connectivity improvements:

Fixed issue where short Wi-Fi network glitches caused long reconnect times.
Fixed issue where the banner notifying users of Wi-Fi connection lost did not appear.
Fixed issue where the simulator did not fully disconnect from SimPad.
Fixed issue were turning off the simulator triggered a network quality banner.
Fixed issue where SimPad froze when trying to reconnect to a simulator after an upgrade.
Fixed issue were disconnecting from Standardized Patient took a long time

Note:

Simulator update

Updating Nursing Anne Simulator, SimNewB and SimBaby can take up to 20 minutes. Wait for a steady green light on the manikin.
Resusci manikins the update can takes up to 5 minutes.
