Release version 5.8.5

Laerdal Medical is happy to announce the release of SimCapture version 5.8.5. This new version delivers some much-anticipated improvements to our exam system along with an introduction to our newest form factor, SimCapture Node with Webcams.

For more information about upgrading your system to SimCapture 5.8.5, please contact our support team via email at SimCaptureSupport@laerdal.com or call 877-LAERDAL. Previous release notes, documentation, and further updates can all be found on the Laerdal Medical Customer Solution Center.

Update on Flash

Please see our recent product announcement related to Flash & the Future of SimCapture on our Customer Solution Center site. 

Exam system improvements (CCM)

This summer, we have been working diligently to tackle the top reported performance issues related to our exam system. With these improvements, we will deliver a faster and more consistent experience for learners, SPs, and administrators during large exams.

Improvements

  • Eliminated the delays when updating and saving the configuration of a room which were consistently significant during large exams.
  • Increased performance around submitting checklists during exams to alleviate users’ anxiety while waiting for the system.
  • To help speed up and simplify room configuration, we removed the simulator selection from the room configuration.
  • Updated the system so that the “Finalizing Recording” message screen will not appear at inappropriate times during an exam and confuse users. It has been replaced with a more accurate “Loading Video…Please Wait” message.

New exam system tray app 

Newly designed Exam System Tray Application eliminates the need for Adobe Air while delivering identical functionality and performance for SP and learner workstations. 

Benefits

  • Leverages a newer version of Flash.
  • Cross-platform support 
  • Windows
  • Mac
  • Easy Updates
  • System will check with the server; if an update is available, the app will auto-download the latest version.

Features

  • All the same configuration options as the previous tray application.
  • Auto-launch and close the exam system-based configuration of the room.
  • Takeover keyboard to prevent most types of close.
  • Auto-focus username field to enable immediate inputting by users.

SimCapture node with webcams

A powerful all-in-one solution delivers high-quality performance with a painless implementation at a competitive price.

Benefits

  • Powerful and Reliable Server
  • In-person these mini-computers are only slightly longer and wider than most smartphones and weigh under 2lbs.
  • 5th Generation Intel Processors and Server Grade Solid State Drives delivery peak performance
  • Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • High-Quality Audio and Video
  • Plug and Play Logitech cameras deliver quality video (automatic low light correction), and dual mics capture natural stereo sound with automatic noise reduction.
  • Low Cost to Install and Maintain
  • Avoid costly rack server maintenance fees as the Node is easily mountable in each room.
  • Behind a patient monitor or under a cabinet
  • VESA Compatible
  • Forget about cutting holes or expensive camera wiring.
  • Tripod-ready universal clips allow for easy mounting of the cameras.
  • Move the cameras as needed to get just the right angle.
  • Ideal for clients looking to upgrade.
  • Nodes can be shipped, set up, and connected to an existing Central Server in a matter of hours instead of days.
  • (Optional) Capture patient monitors, EMR workstations, or any other monitor output with the Epiphan.
  • For additional details, please contact your Account Manager.

Simulation integration updates

New LLEAP versions verified

Tested and validated that these new versions of LLEAP work with our software:

  • LLEAP Version: 6.2.1.3021
  • LLEAP Beta Version: 6.3.0.3110

Note: There were instances when installing the new LLEAP versions would delete the SimCapture plugin. If you experience issues after upgrading, please confirm our plugin is still installed correctly and if further problems persist, please contact the SimCapture Support Team.

Hardware updates

Updated drivers for Axis V5914 & V5915 cameras

  • Our partners at Axis released an updated version of firmware to resolve issues with their V5914/5915 cameras outputting at the wrong fps rate for SDI setups. Please contact our support team for assistance in updating the firmware.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Resolved an issue where the “Add Event” action would re-open a previous event instead of a new one.
  • Fixed an issue where some browsers running Flash player 25 could not access sessions using our offline viewer. 
  • Resolved a lingering issue with our new Center Sign-In with scheduling functionality that prevented users from seeing the set of notes if they were too long.
