The processor configures the plurality of inputs and outputs of the configurable input/output unit based on the broadcast response message. The processor may generate testing signals to the plurality of inputs and outputs of the configurable input/output unit.

Configurable input/output unit

Removable tension-pneumothorax-simulator cartridge for use with a patient simulating mannequin, comprising a rigid body having a hollow cavity therein, the body having two openings in fluid communication with the cavity, the cavity being shaped and dimensioned so as to be capable of receiving therein through the first opening a 14-gauge 3.25 inch needle; the first opening having an associated first-opening closure releasably secured to the body and airtightly sealing the first-opening and including a first material pierceable by the needle when treating a simulation of a tension pneumothorax in the patient simulating mannequin, the first material being self-sealing such that when the needle is withdrawn the first material self-seals, the body being constructed of a second material not pierceable by the needle; the second opening being structured and dimensioned to releasably engage cooperable structure on the mannequin such that when the cartridge is inserted into the mannequin, the cooperable structure on the mannequin engages and airtightly seals the second opening and provides a channel in fluid communication with the cavity of the body for allowing for the entry of a pressured gas into the cavity for use in the simulation of the tension pneumothorax.
