Commissioning

Place qubeBOX

We recommend attaching the qubeBOX directly to the housing. Looking at the monitor from the front, the ideal position is at the rear right.

To attach it, stick the included metal plates onto this area of the housing. Since the qubeBOX is equipped with magnets on its rear side, it can be easily and securely fixed in place.

The power bank can be stored in one of the side pockets of the qubeL bag.

Alternatively, the qubeBOX can also be placed inside one of the pockets or positioned freely. Make sure to always position the box near the monitor iPad to guarantee a stable connection.

Establishing Power Supply

Connect the supplied USB-C cable to the free USB-C socket on the power bank. Connect

the other end of the cable to the USB-C socket (power) of the qubeBOX.

The qubeBOX can also be operated with other USB-C cables or another power source (e.g.

USB power adapter max. 5V). The battery level display can only be guaranteed with the supplied

power bank and the supplied USB-C cable. If you use a different power source or a different

cable, the qubeBOX can still be used, but the battery level will not be displayed in

qubeCONTROL.

Establishing connection

Connect all external devices (CPR feedback sensor, ventilation sensor, SpO2 sensor, Hard Paddles) that are to be used in the simulation. The connections have been selected so that the external devices cannot be interchanged. Do not force the connection. Use the labels to check whether you are using the correct socket to make the connection.

Switch on qubeBOX

Press the power switch, the switch remains in the pressed position. The power switch lights up turquoise during start-up. After a successful start, it flashes turquoise and then changes to a steady green light.

Connecting qubeBOX via Bluetooth

As soon as the qubeBOX is ready for connection, the Bluetooth button flashes blue. If the connection is successful, the Bluetooth button lights up blue continuously. An existing connection can be disconnected by pressing the Bluetooth button.

To connect the qubeBOX, first connect the qubeCONTROL to one of our qubeSERIES monitors (e.g. qubeZERO). Make sure that the qubeBOX is close to the monitor iPad to ensure a smooth connection. Then select the qubeBOX for connection in the Connection Center under qubeCONNECT.

qubeBOX Detailed View

To open the detailed view, click on Overview in the Connection Center in qubeCONTROL and then select the qubeBOX. In the detailed view, the software and hardware versions of the qubeBOX are displayed below its name. A firmware update for the qubeBOX can also be started here (if available). If no button for updating is displayed, no update is available. At the top right, the battery level of the power bank is displayed (if available).

Connected sensors are indicated with a check mark. Non-connected sensors are indicated with a cross. Clicking on the respective sensor displays additional available data (e.g., version numbers). This data is not required for simulation. The SpO₂ sensor can additionally be calibrated. This calibration is only necessary if finger detection no longer functions reliably. To recalibrate the sensor, click on the corresponding button and follow the instructions on the screen. Additionally, the connected qubeBOX can be disconnected or renamed. After renaming, the qubeBOX automatically restarts and must be reconnected.

Recommended Storage in qubeL Bag

We recommend attaching the qubeBOX directly to the housing. Looking at the monitor from the front, the ideal position is at the rear right. Stick the included metal plates onto this area of the housing. Since the qubeBOX is equipped with magnets on its back, it can be easily and securely attached. The power bank can be stored in one of the side pockets of the qubeL bag. Connect the supplied USB-C cable to establish a connection between the qubeBOX and the power bank.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean only with a slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent.

Do not use alcohol-based or aggressive substances.

Regularly check all components for visible damage.
