Frequently asked questions

The V2 Platform is built around our Adult Airway Management Task Trainer V2. The standard trainer can be used on its own, then expanded with difficult airways, procedure modules, difficult teeth and other options.The different elements can also be combined to create a wide range of airway scenarios using the same trainer.

The standard V2 includes everything needed to use it as a complete adult airway management task trainer.Optional modules and difficult airway inserts are sold separately unless specifically included in a bundle.

No. You can start with the standard V2 and add modules or other options later.This allows you to expand the trainer as your training requirements change.

Yes. The Platform is designed around combining different elements.For example, you can change the airway pathology, adjust the airway position, narrow the vocal cords, add difficult teeth or introduce secretions using the SALAD module.This allows multiple training scenarios to be created without replacing the complete trainer.

The standard airway includes several adjustable features.You can change the anterior/posterior airway position and adjust the vocal-cord opening to simulate conditions such as restricted cords or laryngospasm.Optional difficult teeth and the SALAD module can add further difficulty.

The current difficult airway range includes:AngioedemaSupraglottic MassEpiglottitisInhalation InjuryEach airway changes the internal anatomy while using the same V2 head and body.

Airway inserts can normally be changed in under 20 seconds.This makes it practical to switch between different scenarios during the same training session.

The Platform currently includes four main procedure modules:Lungs (comes with V2 Task Trainer)SALADBronchiCricothyroidotomySALAD, Bronchi and Cricothyroidotomy modules are available separately, so you can build the trainer around the procedures you actually teach.

The SALAD module allows secretions and simulated vomit to be introduced into the airway for Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination training.It can be used to practise airway management where visibility is reduced by heavy airway contamination.

The Bronchi module extends training beyond the main airway and into the bronchial tree.It is designed for bronchoscopy and lower-airway training scenarios, including the use of simulated blood, mucus and other airway contamination.

The Cricothyroidotomy module adds front-of-neck access training to the V2 Platform.It allows cricothyroidotomy skills to be practised using the same trainer used for airway management scenarios.

Yes. Different dental configurations are available, including buck teeth, loose teeth and missing teeth.They can be combined with other Platform features to change the difficulty of a scenario.

Yes. The trainer is designed around replaceable parts.If a component becomes worn or damaged, you can replace the affected part rather than replacing the complete trainer.Replacement parts and consumables are available separately.

Yes. The V2 is designed for regular hands-on training, with replaceable high-wear components and a modular construction intended to make maintenance straightforward.Where parts are expected to wear or be consumed during procedures, replacements are available separately.

Yes. Earlier V2 trainers remain compatible with the new modules and difficult airway inserts.A V2 Neck Upgrade Set is also available for earlier models. This adds the latest neck and airway system, including anterior/posterior airway-position adjustment.The upgrade updates the neck and airway only - it does not convert every component of an earlier V2 trainer to the latest production version.

No. The upgrade kit updates specific parts of an existing trainer.It does not replace the head, base and every other component of the trainer, so an upgraded older V2 should not be considered identical to a newly manufactured current-version trainer.We can confirm exactly what an upgrade changes before ordering.

Yes. We continue to support existing V2 trainers with replacement parts.If you are unsure which version or component you need, contact us and we can help identify the correct part.

The V2 Platform can be purchased directly from Decent Simulators in supported markets or through one of our international distributors.Visit our distributor page to find the appropriate supplier for your country.

No, unless they are specifically listed as part of a bundle.The standard V2, modules and difficult airways can all be purchased separately, allowing you to configure the Platform around your training needs.
