The cardiopulmonary simulator proven to teach skills
that transfer to real patients.
Harvey The Cardiopulmonary Patient Simulator*
®
The all-new Cardiopulmonary Patient Simulator
Harvey currently trains thousands of learners annually at hundreds of medical centers
worldwide.The all-new Harvey, the Cardiopulmonary Patient Simulator, has made some
dramatic changes which result in a more portable, versatile and less costly Harvey.
The full-size manikin realistically simulates nearly any cardiac disease at the touch of
a button by varying blood pressure, pulses, heart sounds and murmurs. While many
upgrades have been made over the years, the current model has been dramatically
updated with state-of-the art technology and a major expansion and modification of
the curriculum.
For nearly 40 years, Harvey has been a proven system to teach bedside skills that transfer to real patients. Harvey, the Cardiopulmonary Simulator, is the longest continuous
university-based simulation project in medical education.
