The Noelle S2200 ("Victoria") is a full scale healthcare education simulator produced by Gaumard Scientific that simulates a mother in labor. The Noelle line of simulators[1][2] including the Victoria model can reproduce events seen during a full-term or premature delivery. Delivery can be programed to mimic many situations from a normal vaginal birth to a C-section..[3] Complications including breech presentation, shoulder dystocia, maternal bleeding or umbilical cord prolapse can also be simulated.[4] Healthcare personnel can thus hone their skills addressing serious situations that may not occur frequently before working with real patients.[5] Victoria is tetherless and contains a rechargeable battery that can operate Victoria for about 8 hours as she is moved through a continuum of care. Additionally, actual medical equipment, such as a fetal monitor, a pulse oximeter and a blood pressure monitor can be used directly on Victoria.[6]
