LVAD-SIM
The world’s first LVAD haemodynamics simulator.
Pre-orders now open
A living, beating heart. A real LVAD. A full patient monitor. Everything a team needs to master LVAD therapy — in one portable unit you can carry into any room and switch on in seconds.
Built because Real patients
should never be the practice.
Modern LVAD therapy demands more than theory. It takes experience, intuition, and the ability to read a patient in real time.
Yet consistent, high-quality, hands-on LVAD training has stayed out of reach — and learning on real patients carries a cost no one should accept. LVAD-SIM was created to change that. It recreates the behaviour of the human cardiovascular system in a safe, controlled, infinitely repeatable environment, so clinicians can:
-
Build genuine confidence through true hands-on practice
-
See the real-time impact of every LVAD adjustment
-
Rehearse complex and rare scenarios on demand
-
Sharpen critical decisions — with zero patient risk
This is not just simulation. It is preparation for real life.
A heart in a box.
The whole patient in your hands.
Everything is built in. No lab to book, nothing to assemble. Set it down, switch it on, and the physiology comes alive.
At the core of LVAD-SIM is a lifelike, dynamically controlled heart that contracts and ejects like the real thing — with real, controllable contractions and ejections you can see and feel. It is connected to a genuine LVAD and a live patient monitor inside a single, transportable unit. One platform. The complete picture.
Real device.
Real pressures.
Real consequences.
Every waveform you see is driven by physiology — never an animation.
Connect any implantable LVAD directly to the simulator and watch the genuine, real-time interaction between heart and device. Two precision sensors capture left ventricular and aortic pressure live, driving authentic waveforms and numbers across the monitor the instant conditions change.
Dynamic haemodynamic control
Manipulate the variables that matter — preload, afterload, and LVAD inflow and outflow — to drive everything from stable support to critical complication, all by hand and all in real time.
A complete clinical picture
The embedded monitor displays heart rate, ECG, SpO₂, arterial blood pressure, LV and aortic pressures, left atrial pressure and respiration — alongside realistic brachial heart sounds that bring the bedside into the room.
Obstruct it. Watch what happens.
The one thing no other simulator can do.
Pinch the inflow. Restrict the outflow. By hand, in real time, on a real device — then watch the monitor respond exactly as a patient would. This physical, cause-and-effect troubleshooting is the heart of LVAD-SIM, and what sets it apart from every screen-based or static trainer on the market.
Meet LVAD-SIM Pressure-Sync™
The intelligence behind every beat.
Pressure-Sync is the engine at the core of LVAD-SIM. Extending the responsive Flow-Sync framework behind H-SIM and E-SIM Pro 3, it locks the physical LV and aortic sensors directly to the L-SIM monitor — so the smallest change you make by hand drives the displayed physiology instantly.
Turn a knob, clamp a cannula, shift preload or afterload, and Pressure-Sync translates that physical change into faithful, real-time movement across arterial pressure, LV and aortic pressures, LAP, CVP, SpO₂, heart rate and LVAD flow. Working alongside simulated flow estimation and early suction warnings, it shows not only what is changing — but why.
Cause and effect. Exactly like life.
Introducing LVAD-SIM RV-Guard™
See right heart failure before it arrives.
Right ventricular failure is among the most feared complications of LVAD support — and among the hardest to teach. RV-Guard is an intelligent training layer that recognises developing RV-failure patterns as they emerge and explains them in plain language: not merely an alarm, but the physiological reason behind it and the teaching focus that follows.
A silent, dangerous trend, made visible. A teachable moment, every time.
Three ways to train.
Physiology. Troubleshooting. Research.
Physiology Simulation
Works with any implantable LVAD device. Realistic pressure waveforms reproduce true cardiac and LVAD physiology, with realistic device function throughout.
Haemodynamic Troubleshooting
Manually controlled scenarios spanning cardiac function, LV preload, LV afterload, and LVAD inflow and outflow — the full troubleshooting spectrum, on demand.
Research
Compare the performance of different LVAD devices head-to-head, and obtain real-time aortic and ventricular pressures under controlled, repeatable conditions.
A library that goes deep.
From routine support to rare emergencies. Every scenario repeatable. Every one under your control.
Scenarios span four domains — cardiac function, LV preload, LV afterload, and LVAD inflow and outflow obstruction. A selection of what you can train:
Scenario
Cannula Obstruction (Inflow / Outflow)
What you train
Obstruct the inflow cannula at the LV apex or the outflow graft at the aorta — by hand, in real time, on a real device — and watch the monitor respond.
Pump Thrombosis
Rising power, abnormal flow waveforms — the early signs every team must learn to catch.
Suction & Low-Flow Alarms
LV underfilling drives suction and triggers alarms. Read the pattern before it becomes a crisis.
Hypovolaemia
Falling preload, falling flow, rising risk — and the suction tendency that follows.
Hypertension
High afterload, reduced flow, rising power consumption.
…and an expanding library of advanced scenarios — right heart failure, cardiac tamponade, arrhythmias, weaning trials, acute decompensation and more.
Your whole simulation.
In one hand.
