The modular plug & play concept allows for easy use of the system including the Fluid Kit and Cannulation Pads. Thanks to the priming program, the system can be automatically vented and is ready for use in just a few minutes. 

Setup and dismantling time: < 5 minutes each 
Cannulation Pads replacement time: 2 minutes 
Priming time: 2 minutes 


Realistic ECPR Training 

CARL SAM enables realistic user training through pulse palpation, simulated blood flow, and a choice of two perfusion modes: 

Continuous mode simulates normal circulation. CPR mode analyzes the quality of chest compressions and translates this into the resulting circulation. 

CARL. SAM in Action 


Practice procedures, strengthen communication, and gain confidence in emergencies -for the best possible patient care when every second counts. 

Cannulation Pads


Femoral puncture and cannulation can be performed using landmarks, palpation, or ultrasound. The pads consist of a tissue replica made of recyclable ballistic gelatin, a tube system adapted to the physiological conditions in the groin area, and a replica of the iliac and femoral bones. 

FAQ – Frequently asked questions 

I would like to use CARL SAM to train my team. Is extensive instruction necessary?


The system is optimized for intuitive use. A brief introduction is sufficient to prepare and conduct resuscitation training independently. 

Is CARL SAM suitable for resuscitation training for doctors and nursing staff alike?


CARL SAM enables realistic resuscitation training for interdisciplinary teams and is therefore ideal for training procedures for medical emergencies. Doctors, nursing staff, and experts from various disciplines can practice procedures, strengthen communication, and gain confidence in emergencies – for the best possible patient care when every second counts. 

Is it possible to use a combination of the left and right groin when cannulating with CARL SAM?


Yes. CARL SAM is equipped with two Cannulation Pads for inserting cannulas into the large groin vessels (right and left) on one or both sides. 

Is the system stationary, or can the simulator be transported to different locations for resuscitation training?


CARL SAM and all its components can be easily stored and transported in the accompanying flight case. Stay flexible and conduct resuscitation training at different locations. 

How long does it take to replace the Cannulation Pads?


The Cannulation Pad replacement process is designed to be as intuitive as possible and takes only 2 minutes. Used pads can be quickly replaced with fresh ones and sent in for reprocessing. 

Does the Fluid Kit have to be removed from the Body for filling?

Das Fluid Kit verfügt über einen integrierten Tank. So können Sie frei wählen, ob Sie das Fluid Kit im Body befüllen oder aus dem Body entnehmen. Der Tank verfügt über ein Füllvolumen von ca. 2,5 Liter.

How long does CARL SAM need for the venting process?


The system has an automated priming program and is able to vent itself in just 2 minutes.
