Abstract:
1. A medical training simulator suitable for training and testing personnel, comprising: (a) a contact-less sensor; (b) a detection object adapted to trigger the contact-less sensor; (c) a simulated physiological structure configured to visually and tactilely resemble an anatomical structure; and (d) a sensor bed configured to physically support the simulated physiological structure, the detection object being incorporated into one of the sensor bed and the simulated physiological structure, and the contact-less sensor being incorporated into the other of the sensor bed and the simulated physiological structure, such that the one of the detection object and the contact-less sensor incorporated into the simulated physiological structure is embedded within the simulated physiological structure, and the other of the detection object and the contact-less sensor incorporated into the sensor bed is disposed below a surface of the sensor bed that supports the simulated physiological structure, so that when the simulated physiological structure is properly positioned relative to the sensor bed, the one of the detection object and the contact-less sensor incorporated into the sensor bed is disposed beneath the other of the contact-less sensor and the detection object incorporated into simulated physiological structure, such that the contact-less sensor and the corresponding detection object:
