RespiSim Software Installer (version 4.3)
Please read the disclaimers and instructions below before installing. The Patient Monitor and Virtual Ventilator interfaces are accessbile through a separate application called the RespiSim PM/VV Landing Page. You will find instructions separately on the installation of that application following this section. For assistance, please contact Client Success at support@ingmarmed.com or (412) 441-8228, Option 1.
- For RespiSim customers upgrading from version 4.0: Upgrading to RespiSim Software version 4.3 from version 4.0 will provide access to new media and a new patient monitor application. Media that was provided in version 4.0 of the patient monitor will no longer be available. Media from a scenario built with version 4.0 media will no longer display. We suggest selecting new media from version 4.3 of the patient monitor. If losing that media is of particular concern, we suggest remaining at version 4.0 until you are able to secure new media to replace version 4.0 media.
- For RespiSim customers upgrading from version 4.1: It is required that you uninstall RespiSim 4.1 prior to installing RespiSim version 4.3. You will not lose any scenarios that are currently on your PC during this process. You do NOT need to uninstall/reinstall the patient monitor application (PM/VV landing page) as functionality of the application itself has not changed in this version.
- Upon launching RespiSim version 4.3 for the first time, you will be prompted to migrate your database. This is necessary as the database structure has changed from previous versions. Depending on the size of your database this process may take some time to complete. Please click here and follow our step-by-step instructions to complete the database migration.
- Windows 10 or above is required for installation.
- A purchased license is required to connect your ASL 5000 with the RespiSim Software. If you do not already have an active license, please contact support@ingmarmed.com to inquire about our 60-day free trial as well as purchasing a permanent license.
- If you are currently running an instance of the RespiSim Software, please exit the software and reboot your system before upgrading to the latest version.
- Before running the RespiSim installer, please download and install any available Windows updates, and restart your computer.
- Administrator access is required to install and to operate. Windows User Account Control must be enabled in the User Account control panel. A setting of “Never Notify” will disable User Account Control access, and is therefore incompatible with RespiSim software. Please ask an Administrator to re-enable User Account Control if you are not presented with the User Account Control prompt upon installing or launching RespiSim.

KNOWN BUGS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FUTURE RELEASES:
-
If you try to apply a “Cough” when the patient is apneic, apnea will not be able to be toggled “off” after the “Cough” was applied. In certain situations, the “Cough” will be completely ignored when the patient is set to apneic. Quick fix: Please press “Pause” in the scenario and then press “Play” again to resolve.
-
When creating a scenario, RespiScope sounds are not saving with the scenario information.
-
RespiScope is not able to be utilized during a scenario for this release. Quick fix: The RespiScope can be utilized as a task trainer for this release. Open the software and load any scenario or create a new scenario. Connect to your RespiScope. After connection is successful navigate back to the home screen. DO NOT PRESS PLAY. Click on the “Sounds” button above the “Media” button, you will be able to utilized all sounds as a “task trainer”. Once the scenario is started, the sounds will switch to “none”.
-
In certain circumstances, when making connections between patient conditions initiated by a learner action, clicking the learner action will NOT automatically apply the condition.
-
Vitals will NOT transition when transition are set within the scenario, lung model parameters will only transition
-
Debrief player can appear choppy when running a debrief playback
-
Vitals do NOT appear in debrief playback
-
When selecting “Play” after applying “Stop” during a scenario, the prevision lung model may continue to play. Quick fix: Select “Apply Now” in the scenario environment to apply the patient condition you wish to run.
-
When exporting a modified scenario with simple text modifications, the modifications will NOT always save in the scenario when exported. Quick fix: To ensure all modifications are saved correctly, please make your modifications, save your scenario with a new name, and open that saved scenario on the current PC before exporting. Doing this will ensure data is saved prior to exporting and ensure successful importing.
-
If you export two copies of the same scenarios with slightly different modifications, you must import the first exported scenario first, then import the second export scenario. The imports must be done in the same order they were exported. Example: Scenario 1.2 was exported before Scenario 1.1 and then Scenario 1.1 is imported on a new device before Scenario 1.2, it will recognize 1.1 as the more up to date scenario and not allow 1.2 to be imported since 1.1 was the more recent export. Once again this only effects scenario copies and if this happens it would just require re-exporting scenarios in the correct order before importing them again.
-
When running a scenario the debrief is recorded from the first APPLIED condition not when “Play” is pressed. If “Apply Condition” is not utilized at beginning of scenario the debrief will begin recording condition details from second condition. Waveforms and live data are recorded appropriately.
-
When importing a scenario that uses custom media the associated media sections will appear as a blank box in its respective media field upon first entering the scenario during the same session of RespiSim. Quick fix: After exiting and restarting the software all custom media will appear in the library and its correct field.
-
When you attempt to import or export custom lung models right after saving, the lung model will revert back to its original lung model during the import/export process. Quick fix: After saving a new lung model made from a copy of an existing lung model, you must first restart the software prior to exporting. Then when importing, the lung model will be the correct version.
-
If importing a scenario with custom lung models, you must first export and import the custom lung models on to the new device prior to importing the scenario otherwise the scenario import will fail.
-
IngMar provided scenarios are missing supplied media. Quick fix: select new media that is applicable to your program, and save a copy of the scenario. Media will be present in that updated scenario after saving.
