Newborn Life Support Simulator
AVA
Newborn life support training, built to the NLS algorithm
A full-term infant simulator designed for Newborn Life Support (NLS) training and skills rehearsal.
AVA simulates the specific interventions shown to improve outcomes in neonatal care - from initial assessment through to mechanical ventilation and intraosseous access. Available for £2,990 ex VAT.

True-to-Term
Full-term infant proportions and presentation, with a natural range of joint and limb movement
Algorithm-Aligned
IEvery intervention mapped directly to the Resuscitation Council UK NLS algorithm
Complete Vascular Pathway
Umbilical venous access and tibial intraosseous access, both built for realistic dry practice
Realistic training that improves neonatal outcomes
AVA simulates the specific interventions shown to improve outcomes in neonatal care. Built to the proportions and presentation of a full-term infant, with a natural range of joint and limb movement supporting accurate positioning and handling throughout NLS-aligned scenarios.
Clearly identifiable vocal cords and airway landmarks
Chest compressions to a depth matching term newborn guidance
Umbilical venous access via companion UVC task trainer
Tibial intraosseous access with replaceable cartridges
NLS Curriculum Crosswalk aligns every step to the RCUK algorithm
What AVA Can Do
Full clinical capability across the three core NLS intervention areas
Airway & Ventilation
Clearly identifiable vocal cords and anatomical landmarks
Accepts iGel, LMA, ETT, and laryngoscope adjuncts
True lung capacity gives real chest rise for mask-seal checks
Chest Compressions
Compresses to a depth matching term newborn guidance
Palpable chest landmarks for correct hand placement
Ribcage deforms realistically for accurate tactile feedback
Vascular Access
Umbilical venous access via companion UVC task trainer
Replaceable cartridges support 10-15 insertions each
Tibial IO site replicates surface anatomy of the tuberosity
Meet the UVC Companion Task Trainer
Dry practice for catheter placement. Full fluid-exchange when it's needed.
AVA's umbilical is built for dry practice: catheter placement, technique, and positioning. For sessions requiring fluid administration or blood draw practice, the companion task trainer features a replaceable cord and internal reservoir, letting learners practise the full procedure from catheter insertion through to fluid exchange.
- Dry practice for catheter placement and technique on AVA
- Replaceable cord and internal reservoir for fluid-exchange practice
- Compatible with water and water-based colourant solutions only
What's Included: AVA Simulator UVC Task Trainer 5x I/O Cartridges 2x Umbilical Cord Consumables
Developed in Collaboration
Designed with leading UK neonatal & midwifery simulation centres
Created with clinical educators to ensure realism, durability, and alignment with the Resuscitation Council UK Newborn Life Support algorithm. AVA reflects the demands of active simulation environments - not just a lab setting.
