Unit quantity should be driven by two standards: OSCE station design and simulation-to-clinical-hour substitution ratios.
The NCSBN National Simulation Study (Hayden et al., 2014) demonstrated that nursing students who trained on integrated full-body simulators performed equivalently to those with 50% clinical placement hours. This finding — now embedded in nursing accreditation frameworks — means simulation hours on integrated manikins count toward clinical requirements. Your unit count directly determines how many students can earn those hours.
Class Size | Recommended Units | Students per Unit | Stations per Rotation |
10 students | 2 | 3–5 : 1 | 4–5 |
20 students | 4 | 3–5 : 1 | 4–5 |
30 students | 6 | 4–5 : 1 | 4–5 |
50 students | 10 | 4–5 : 1 | 4–5 |
100 students | 20 | 4–5 : 1 | 4–5 |
The math that matters: a 20-student program with 4 units delivers 4–5 parallel OSCE stations (venipuncture, catheterization, tracheostomy care, injection). With 2 units, the same cohort rotates in half the stations — doubling lab time per session.
Program Focus | Recommended Mix |
General nursing | 3× H130B (female) + 3× H130A (male) |
Women's health emphasis | 5× H130B + 1× H130A |
Maternity/pediatric | 4× H130B + 2× H130A + F55 + ACLS150 |
The female H130B covers breast care and female catheterization; the male H130A covers male catheterization. A gender-balanced lab avoids the common failure of graduating nurses who have never practiced opposite-sex catheterization.

Do you need electronic assessment (scoring, reports)?
│
├─ YES → Pair H130B units with one BIX-CPR480 assessment station
│
└─ NO → Proceed ↓
Do you need high anatomical fidelity (Laerdal-level tissue detail)?
│
├─ YES → Laerdal Nursing Anne (~$2,000+) — budget 5–8× higher
│
└─ NO → Do you need male catheterization training?
│
├─ YES → Buy H130B (female) + H130A (male) mix
│
└─ NO → BIX-H130B ($353.52) ← THIS GUIDE
The 81% cost argument: a 5-unit H130B lab costs ~
22,500 (Cant & Cooper, 2017). Both cover the same core nursing procedures — the difference is tissue fidelity, not procedure coverage.
Consumable | Per-Unit Cost | 20-Student Program | 100-Student Program |
Injection arm skins | ~$20 | 4 / $80 | 12 / $240 |
Venipuncture tubing sets | ~$8 | 20 / $160 | 60 / $480 |
Catheterization sets | ~$15 | 20 / $300 | 60 / $900 |
Tracheostomy membranes | ~$12 | 10 / $120 | 30 / $360 |
Annual consumable total | ~$660 | ~$1,980 |
Rule of thumb: budget 15–20% of purchase price per year for consumables — higher than CPR manikins because injection and catheterization sites wear faster. Rotate left/right arm venipuncture sites to extend skin life.
Before issuing the PO:
● Confirmed class size and OSCE station count

● NCSBN simulation-hour strategy documented for accreditation
● Consumable stock for 12 months ordered with units
● Injection arm skins (2 per unit) ordered as spares
● Storage trolleys budgeted (manikins store horizontally)
● MOQ confirmed (5 units standard; samples 1–2 available)
● Shipping quoted (air 7–10 days; sea for 30+ units)
● CPR480 assessment station included if certification needed
● Email:adanursing@adaanatomy.com.

Q1: Can I order fewer than the 5-unit MOQ? A: Yes — sample evaluation units (1–2) are available for institutional quality review before committing to the full order.
Q2: What shipping costs should I budget for? A: A 5-unit order ships via air freight in 7–10 business days. Sea freight is available for 30+ units. Email adanursing@adaanatomy.com. with your country for an exact quote.
Q3: Why buy both H130B and H130A? A: The female H130B covers breast care and female catheterization; the male H130A covers male catheterization. Gender-balanced labs prevent the common gap of graduates with no opposite-sex catheterization practice.
Q4: Is the manikin suitable for OSCE? A: Yes — the 22 procedures map directly to standard nursing licensure OSCE stations (venipuncture, catheterization, tracheostomy care, injection). A single unit can serve 4–5 stations per rotation.
Q5: Can simulation hours on this manikin count toward clinical requirements? A: Yes. The NCSBN study (Hayden et al., 2014) established that integrated full-body simulator training is equivalent to up to 50% of clinical placement hours — now recognized in nursing accreditation frameworks.
Q6: What is the difference between this and a CPR manikin? A: The H130B covers 22 nursing procedures — airway care, feeding, catheterization, injections, punctures, holistic care. For CPR-specific training with compression feedback, pair it with BIX-CPR100D or BIX-CPR480.
