About Neonatal Test Lung
Simulate a range of pulmonary situations for infants and children (and adults), using the Adult-Infant TTL and PneuView Lung Simulators. These devices incorporate one adult lung and one infant lung simulator in a single unit. This provides great flexibility and a range of applications for a wide range of patient populations. If you need to create spontaneous breathing, the model is also available as a Spontaneous Breathing Lung (SBL). Designed for Precise Neonatal CalibrationThis neonatal test lung replicates the compliance and resistance characteristics of an actual infant lung, ensuring realistic and accurate ventilator performance testing. Built from premium-grade materials, it supports both manual and mechanical operation without the need for any power source. Its transparent and blue design allows clear visualization during demonstrations and calibration exercises.
Easy Maintenance and Durable ConstructionThe device requires minimal maintenance-routine cleaning is sufficient. It can be sterilized in an autoclave or disinfected as needed, thanks to the medical-grade silicone and polycarbonate construction. Packaged individually in a protective box, it's protected during storage and transport, supporting a shelf life of up to five years.
Portable and Practical for Clinical UseWith a compact size and lightweight form (approximately 220 g), the test lung is readily portable for use in clinics, hospitals, or laboratories. Its manual, silent operation enables flexible testing environments without noise disruption, and it functions efficiently in real-time calibration scenarios, making it a practical choice for medical professionals.
FAQ's of Neonatal Test Lung:
Q: How is the Neonatal Test Lung used for ventilator performance testing?
A: The test lung is connected to neonatal ventilators or respiratory equipment using the standard 15 mm male fitting. By manually simulating breath patterns, clinicians can assess the accuracy and responsiveness of the device's delivered tidal volumes and pressure settings, verifying that equipment is calibrated correctly for neonatal patients.
Q: What maintenance does the Neonatal Test Lung require?
A: Routine cleaning is usually all that's needed. For disinfection, the device can be autoclaved or wiped down with approved disinfectants. Ensure it is dried thoroughly before storage, and keep it in its provided protective box when not in use.
Q: When should calibration with this test lung be performed?
A: Calibration is recommended during initial installation of new ventilators, after repairs or servicing, and as part of regular equipment maintenance schedules. Using this test lung ensures ventilators provide accurate and safe respiratory support for neonatal patients.
Q: Where can this test lung be used?
A: This device is suitable for clinical, hospital, and laboratory settings, and is designed for use by healthcare professionals involved in neonatal care or respiratory monitoring.
Q: What benefits does the Neonatal Test Lung offer?
A: It provides high compliance and volume accuracy, supports reusable operation with minimal maintenance, and allows healthcare teams to test equipment without generating noise. Its portability assists in easy transport between testing locations.
Q: How long does the Neonatal Test Lung last and how should it be stored?
A: The test lung has a shelf life of five years. Store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always keep it in its protective box to maintain its integrity.
