1993
Ingenieurbüro Lang begins to develop a heart simulator as a contract project. The interactive heart simulator InterSim I is introduced in fall and features a 1 MHz 8bit microcontroller, serial interface, 2 intracardiac ECG channels, 1 HV channel, 3 surface ECGs and a DOS-based user interface.2
2000
The InterSim software is released for the first time as a Windows application.3
2005
In cooperation with TQ Systems (formerly Colour Control Farbmeßtechnik GmbH), an improved hardware is designed and developed as an in-house project.4
2006
The more powerful InterSim II is released in fall. It comes with a 16 MHz 8bit microcontroller, USB2 interface, 3 intracardiac ECG channels, 1 HV channel, 3 surface ECGs, improved pacemaker pulse detection, defi shock measurement and a new Windows user interface.5
2015
The prototype of the InterSim Touch is presented at the German Society of Cardiology (DGK) Fall Conference for the first time.6
2019
InterSim III is released in May and, for the first time, comes in two versions: InterSim III Touch and InterSim III Interface. It features an STM32 microcontroller, USB2 interface, 8 intracardiac ECG channels, 2 HV channels, 3 surface ECGs, full IS-4 and DF-4 support and an adapter box for safe connection of pacemakers and defibrillators.7
2020
The Local Classroom is now available in InterSim III as it was in InterSim II. A group of InterSim III users can train together on the use of pacemakers and defibrillators.8
2021
Our answer to Corona is Web Classroom. With InterSim III, users can learn pacemaker technology together, no matter where they are.9
2024
InterSim III has been enthusiastically adopted by users around the world, from pacemaker manufacturers in the USA to training centres in Japan and hospitals in Australia, to name but a few.
