The Laerdal-SonoSim Procedure Trainer allows learners the ability to perform ultrasound
guidance with real-patient data on multiple body morphologies and 20 real ultrasound
data sets.This trainer gives users the opportunity to develop the critical psychomotor
skills that will serve as a foundation for future ultrasound-guided interventions in a safe,
simulated, and highly realistic ultrasound environment using only a laptop, simulated
transducer, needle and training torso.

Use
Optimal Positioning
Optimize user-system positioning so that the ultrasound screen and procedure site are in
the same line of sight, minimizing the need for head movement and body rotation. Each
pad location has a unique optimal positioning.
Follow the position guide for optimal use.
Position yourself, the Torso and Computer as
instructed in the optimal positioning illustration.
Ensure that the TrackPad is in the same pad
location as seen in the on-screen illustration.
Calibrate the Probe and Needle & Syringe
Ensure the Calibration Stand is secured to the Torso. Refer to Quick Setup Guide for
instructions on placement of the Calibration Stand, Probe and Needle & Syringe. Follow
the on-screen instructions to complete calibration. If calibration is successful the LED light
on the Needle & Syringe will flash pink.
Note
• Ensure that the Probe and Needle & Syringe are correctly placed as shown.
• You can choose to recalibrate at any time during the procedure by selecting the Calibrate
button in the toolbar and following the on-screen instructions.
• If the Torso moves at any time, you must recalibrate.
• Calibrate at the start of each case.
