SimScreen® FAQs
Why should our training center be using a SimScreen®? Why do I need to be hidden from my student?
You may think that being in the simulation lab with your students facilitates hands on learning, but research shows that by removing yourself from the room, it will actually produce a more capable healthcare professional. The presence of an instructor in the simulation room provides cues and guidance to students through body language and unintentional behaviors. This occurs subconsciously even if the instructor makes every effort to remain a neutral observer. Students instinctively look to the instructor to determine their best course of action rather than using their own critical thinking skills. This eliminates the students’ opportunity to realize how their clinical decisions affect the patient outcomes.
Are these units mobile and how much space do they take up?
Our complete line of SimScreen® products are 100% Mobile. The Screens have also been designed to slide into each other for easy and compact storage!
What type of installation is required when I purchase a SimScreen?
The SimScreen® is a very well built and durable product that requires no maintenance or assembly!
Can I start with one SimScreen® and add more down the road?
Yes! Instructors can start with one screen and continue to grow their inventory. Panels can be combined to create a temporary control room, wall or observation window.
What are the dimensions of the SimScreen®?
A standard SimScreen® is six (6) feet tall and three (3) feet wide and weighs 78 pounds. By combining a standard screen and a single corner screen you can create an observation window the size of a standard hospital bed or office desk.
What if I want a custom sized SimScreen®?
We Can Do That! Our knowledgeable account managers can work with you to find the best fit for your facility’s needs.
How does the SimScreen® work? What does the student see when looking into the mirror?
The SimScreen® uses Mirropane technology commonly known as a “two-way mirror”. The screen utilizes a highly reflective mirror which is partially reflective and partially transparent. The screen is highly reflective on one side preventing the student from looking back at the instructor. From the instructors point of view they can observe the student without any distortion.
Is there any warranty available with the SimScreen®?
DiaMedical USA offers a one (1) year warranty for all SimScreen® products.
SeparationScreen FAQs
Why Do I Need to Separate Myself from Other People?
According to the CDC, limiting face-to-face contact with others is the best way to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
To practice social or physical distancing: stay at least 6 feet (2 meters) from other people, do not gather in groups and stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings.
COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact (within about 6 feet) for a prolonged period. Spread happens when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, and droplets from their mouth or nose are launched into the air and land in the mouths or noses of people nearby. The droplets can also be inhaled into the lungs. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19.
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. However, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. COVID-19 can live for hours or days on a surface, depending on factors such as sunlight and humidity. Social distancing helps limit contact with infected people and contaminated surfaces.
