Description
The Ultrasound Right Heart Chamber and Valve Visualization Module, Medium Tone (500-201-32), is the opaque chest module of the RediStik Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access (USG-VA) Modules. It works on its own for guidewire navigation, and it locks onto a neck module for ultrasound-guided heart training.
- Works alone for: guidewire navigation from the right atrium into the inferior vena cava while avoiding the right ventricle and hepatic veins. No neck module is needed.
- Locks onto: the Ultrasound Internal Jugular and Carotid Cannulation Module, Clear Tone (500-301-30) or Medium Tone (500-301-32). Either neck tone works with either tone of this module.
- Trains: guidewire navigation through a right atrium, right ventricle, and flow-responsive tricuspid valve, Doppler flow assessment, and true-to-life ECPR compressions during neck cannulation.
- Swap for: the Clear Heart Visualization Module (501-301) when you want visual, no-ultrasound training instead. The two heart modules are not used together.
- Coming soon: a femoral module for dual-site setups.

The Ultrasound Right Heart Chamber and Valve Visualization Module, Medium Tone (500-201-32) is an ECMO and central line training chest module built for ultrasound-only practice of guidewire navigation, Doppler flow assessment, and true-to-life ECPR (Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation) compressions. It shares the same right heart anatomy as the Clear Tone version (500-201-30), including the right atrium and right ventricle with a functional tricuspid valve, in an opaque, flesh-toned build. Part of the RediStik® line of cannulation models, it's made with our Resonance™ ultrasound tissue, which is ultrasoundable, self-healing, and temperature stable, giving users a realistic, ultrasound-only training experience without visual cues, including the ability to watch the tricuspid leaflets move under live imaging as fluid moves through the circuit.
This module expands into an ECMO-compatible configuration with the other USG-VA Modules: a quick-turn locking base joins it directly to the Ultrasound Internal Jugular and Carotid Cannulation Module (500-301-30/32) for single- or dual-site VA ECMO, and it is also compatible with the 500-702 series femoral access model (COMING SOON) for more configurations . A proximal manifold and distal Y-shaped manifold give the circuit two priming ports, so the whole system can be filled with a 1,000 mL bag of blood solution using a height-adjustable IV tower to control flow and back pressure. Because this module is opaque, instructors can scan directly over the right ventricle with the probe to confirm trapped air has cleared before a session begins.
Once primed, users can navigate a guidewire through the right atrium and into the inferior vena cava while watching the tricuspid leaflets move under ultrasound as fluid passes through the circuit, taking care to avoid inadvertent entry into the right ventricle and to keep the wire from diverting into the simulated hepatic veins. The chest module also supports true-to-life compressions for ECPR practice during simultaneous neck or groin cannulation, and users can confirm correct wire and catheter tip depth and visualize flow moving between chambers under Doppler.
Procedures This Module Supports:
- Central venous access and ECMO cannulation of the right atrium and inferior vena cava under ultrasound guidance
- Single- or dual-site ECMO configurations (VV, VA, and other combinations) when paired with a compatible neck and/or femoral access module (COMING SOON)
- True-to-life chest compressions for ECPR (ECMO CPR) during simultaneous neck or groin cannulation
- Doppler flow and tricuspid valve assessment via ultrasound alone
Key Features:
- Opaque, flesh-toned design that hides anatomy for ultrasound-only training
- Same right atrium, right ventricle, and tricuspid valve anatomy as the Clear Tone version (500-201-30), with leaflet motion visible under imaging
- Compatible with ultrasound imaging and color Doppler flow visualization
- Connects to the Ultrasound Internal Jugular and Carotid Cannulation Module (500-301-30/32) via a quick-turn locking base for single- or dual-site ECMO circuits
- Also compatible with the 500-702 series femoral access model (COMING SOON)
- Proximal and distal Y-shaped manifolds allow priming with a 1,000 mL blood solution bag and height-adjustable IV tower
- Scan directly over the ventricle with the probe to confirm trapped air has cleared before scanning
- Supports guidewire navigation from the RA into the IVC while avoiding the right ventricle and hepatic veins
- Built for true-to-life ECPR compression training
- Made with self-healing, temperature-stable Resonance™ tissue rated for use with 22 gauge or smaller needles
