Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

TestChest is an innovative, fully physiological artificial lung simulator that represents a breakthrough in mechanical ventilation training.

TestChest has been developed to simulate the human heart and respiratory system for teaching and training purposes. It can be used as a stand-alone skills training station or integrated into a full-scale patient simulator.

It is a universal simulator that can be connected to all ventilators, both for intubated and mask ventilation patients.

This highly accurate and versatile instrument represents the first choice for respiratory care training. Thanks to its physiological modelling, TestChest can be configured to represent any type of clinical manifestation of lung disease, even those not known today, as shown with the Covid-19 patients. Product development and testing for ventilators, CPAP, aerosolised drug delivery and other respiratory therapy devices can be easily performed with TestChest.
