Which EKG Simulator to purchase

[randyg]

I've been tasked with purchasing an EKG simulator for our department. We are down to two.

The Laerdel Heartsim 200

and the

Symbio Corp. CS1201

Has anyone used either of these products.

Price is not an object.

If someone else has a different suggestion please send it.

We will be using a Phillips MRX Monitor. 3/12 lead, defib

I have used the Laerdal unit and like it for predominatly most laerdal systems are interchangeable with their line of resusci manikins. So it can function as a stand alone simulator or be incorporated with a manikin for full ACLS training options. If purchasing a laerdal product, you can also ascess a variety of online resources to update and upgrade your unit constantly.

I have heard of the symbio corp unit but not had the chance to use it yet. Would be keen to hear more though
