TEST LUNG, 1 L
Definition
A device used to simulate/mimic the human lung or lungs by imitating their physical properties. This device, commonly known as a test lung, may be a simple ventilation bag filled with foam rubber, or a complicated device, usually mechanical, that can be adjusted to imitate, e.g., change in compliance, airway restrictions, lung perforation.
It is intended to be used by a healthcare provider in a clinical setting for the purpose of, e.g., maintenance, testing, user control of a ventilator and for the education of clinical staff.
The test lung allows to control the functions and the precisions of the different ventilators not connected to the patient, and to simulate the resistive and elastic parameters of a lung
