What’s New in TruMonitor v5.0: Advanced ECG, Smarter Instructor Tools, Lifepak 35 & More

New: Advanced 12-Lead ECG Support

We’ve introduced full 12-lead ECG support on compatible TruMonitor skins — making cardiac simulation more realistic and powerful than ever.

What’s new:

  • 12-Lead Mode is now available for all ECG patterns on supported skins

  • Lead selection: View any lead on demand

  • Instructor preview: Quickly inspect 12-leads from the control panel

  • Smarter ECG picker: Search, filter by category, and find the exact rhythm you need — faster

New ECG patterns added:

  • High Grade Heart Block (4:1)

  • Moderate Hyperkalemia

  • Left/Right Bundle Branch Block

  • Bifascicular / Trifascicular Block

  • Inferior, Anterior & Lateral MI

  • Agonal Rhythm

This update unlocks a more complete training experience for anyone teaching or learning advanced ECG interpretation.

Advanced 12-Lead is available on ‘Generic 2025’ - and all skins under the ‘recently updated’ section

🎛️ New Instructor Tools for Real-Time Control

TruMonitor just got even smarter for instructors — with new features that make hands-on training more immersive, responsive, and effective.

🚨 Live Control Features:

  • Manual Ventilation Mode

    Simulate bag-mask ventilation in real time — press to ventilate, release to stop. ETCO₂ responds instantly.

  • Adenosine Simulation Mode

    Pause SVT with a tap, then resume or convert to sinus rhythm — just like pushing adenosine in a real scenario.

  • Start NIBP from Instructor Panel

    Trigger a blood pressure reading instantly if you need to assist a student.

🔗 Smarter Integrations:

  • Capnography & Respiratory Rate

    Automatically syncs with QCPR manikins when Manual Ventilation Mode is enabled — no setup required.

  • Chest Compression Fraction (CCF)

    Added to CPR feedback for a more complete performance overview.

🎚️ Customisation & Control:

  • Expanded Heart Rate Range

    Now selectable as low as 10 bpm for bradycardic or peri-arrest cases.

  • New Timer Tool

    Built-in stopwatch for scenario timing, rhythm checks, or anything else.

  • Volume Controls for CPR & AED Feedback

    Fine-tune feedback volume for clearer instruction during noisy sessions.

🩻 New Secondary Display Skins

Now you can extend your simulation setup with dedicated screens — no extra licenses needed.

  • New skins are available to display:

    • Investigations (e.g. bloods, ECGs, imaging)

    • CPR Feedback (live data during compressions)

Just connect an additional tablet to the same session — TruMonitor handles the rest.

It’s a simple way to make your scenarios more immersive, organised, and visually powerful.

🔄 Faster, Frictionless Sessions

New auto-connect logic makes multi-device setup near-instant:

  • Auto Start

    The instructor’s app automatically starts a local session on launch.

  • Auto Join

    Student devices connect automatically to the first session they discover — no need to pick from a list.

  • Auto Resume

    If the connection drops, it reconnects seamlessly when the app restarts.

🖥️ New & Updated Monitor Skins
