SECTION 2 OVERVIEW SIM™ User Manual | Ref Code: SUM | GEN4_0024| Version: 8 15
2.0 Overview 2.1 WHAT IS THE SIM™ SYSTEM SIM™ stands for Smart Incontinence Management. SIM™ is used by carers in resident aged care facilities during an incontinence assessment to gather relevant information and record events which are automatically displayed on a bladder diary. This process helps create an accurate incontinence record.
Figure 3 SIM™ assist application When a SIM™ assessment has been completed, data can be viewed in a comprehensive bladder diary. The SIM™ manager software provides a structured decision support process to guide the development of effective individualised continence care plans for each assessed resident. This assessment process is depicted in the cycle shown in Figure 4.
Figure 5 Sample of the Bladder and Assessment Chart SIM™ User Manual | Ref Code: SUM | GEN4_0024| Version: 8 18
2.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE SIM™ (Smart Incontinence Management) is indicated for use by healthcare professionals to collect, transmit and report medical information from multiple residents (patients) within a clinical setting (e.g. hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, residential care facilities) to establish effective management plans for continence care.
2.5 THE SIM™ TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS SIM™ operates over a Wi-Fi network, but does not require continuous connection. The SIM™ pod is capable of completing an entire assessment without connection to a network via Wi-Fi, but requires such a connection in order to upload all collected information. Figure 6 illustrates the SIM™ network. Figure 6 SIM™ network SIM™ consists of a number of components to enable the system to function. These components are stated and described in the table below.
Ion battery and an electronic circuit board containing Wi-Fi radio module, micro-controller, and memory and charging circuitry. SIM™ pod is equipped with a safety circuit that limits the electrical energy available when a SIM™ sensor is connected. SIM™ pods must be configured to use the facility’s Wi-Fi network prior to use; configuration can be done using a client PC connected to the server and the SIM™ pod via a USB cable and is only required once, unless Wi-Fi network changes are made.
SIM™ manager An element of the SIM™ system software which provides a user interface through a web browser. SIM™ manager allows for resident and staff profiles to be managed and assessments and continence care plans to be created, monitored and reported. SIM™ manager utilises Microsoft Silverlight to support the operation of the graphical user interface; it is available through the server’s IP address.
SECTION 3 GETTING STARTED WITH COMPONENTS – Hardware OMPONENTS SIM™ User Manual | Ref Code: SUM | GEN4_0024| Version: 8 23
3.0 Getting Started with Components – Hardware 3.1 CHARGE THE SIM™ POD The SIM™ pod must be charged before you start an assessment to ensure it can be used continuously for the entire 72-hour (3 days) continence assessment period. It takes about 2-3 hours to fully charge a depleted SIM™ pod. Note: A SIM™ pod that has been in storage without charging for a period of six months or more may require more than 3 hours to fully charge.
3.2 Connect SIM™ pod to SIM™ sensor To connect the SIM™ pod to the SIM™ sensor, follow these steps: Step 1 Check that the pod number on the back of the SIM™ pod matches the number allocated for that SIM™ assessment. Step 2 Remove the SIM™ sensor from its sealed bag by tearing the top of the bag at the pre-cut notch. Step 3 Connect the SIM™ pod to the SIM™ sensor; match the window in the sensor clip to the raised shape on the SIM™ pod, then hook the clip over the pod.
3.3 DISCONNECT THE SIM™ POD FROM THE SIM™ SENSOR To disconnect the SIM™ pod from the SIM™ sensor, follow these steps: Step 1 Disconnect the SIM™ sensor from the SIM™ pod by hooking your index finger behind the clip while placing your thumb firmly on the front of the clip. Step 2 Pull your index finger forward, until the clip is released.
3.4 APPLY THE SIM™ SENSOR AND PANTS TO THE RESIDENT Follow these steps to apply the SIM™ sensor and pants to the resident. WARNING The SIM™ sensor is not recommended for use with residents that have a pre-existing skin condition including but not limited to a rash, sores and/or compromise of skin integrity. Step 1 Apply the SIM™ pants to the wearer with the pocket at the front on the inside and pull the pants up just below the groin area so the SIM™ sensor can be easily inserted between the legs.
SECTION 4 SIM™ MANAGER SIM™ User Manual | Ref Code: SUM | GEN4_0024| Version: 8 28
4.0 Getting Started with Components - Software 4.1 OVERVIEW OF TAB MENU The SIM™ manager software stores and displays the data collected from the SIM™ hardware components. It is stored in database format so that the user can view, analyse and report upon the data. The software uses a tab structure that reflects the workflow of the assessment process, from data collection and analysis to continence care planning and reporting.
4.2 USER LEVELS AND ACCESS There are two types of user in the SIM™ system, Administrator and User. The administrator is the only user that has access to the Administration tab. All other tabs are visible to the general user and are used to record data and observations during an assessment period, to draft a continence care plan and run reports. The Administrator also adds users and assigns usernames. See the topic Administrator Setup Activities – Users. 4.

SECTION 7 SIM™ Data Collection SIM™ User Manual | Ref Code: SUM | GEN4_0024| Version: 8 64
7.0 SIM™ Data Collection 7.1 OVERVIEW During a SIM™ assessment the carer must record real-time observations using the SIM™ Assist application. SIM™ assist is a software application (app) that can be downloaded onto a range of tablet/phone devices to enable care staff to log observations during an assessment about the resident’s care. The information recorded in the SIM™ assist app during the assessment is sent via the Wi-Fi network to the SIM™ manager software.
Step 2 Enter a username and password than select ‘Login’. . SIM™ assist should stay on during a shift to allow continuous transmission of data to SIM™ manager. 7.3 MAIN SCREEN – RESIDENT LIST After logging in, the screen will display all the residents currently undergoing a SIM™ assessment.
