Organis TestChest® Lung Simulator

TestChest® is an innovative lung simulator that replicates the complex functioning of healthy and diseased human lungs for mechanical ventilation testing and training. All kinds of artificial ventilation are supported for basic and advanced training in anesthesia, intensive care, emergency medicine and home care. It can be used either as a stand-alone skill training station or integrated into a full-scale patient simulator.
 

The compact, fully self-contained TestChest® fits on any bed. The stand-alone skill training station can be easily connected with an intubation head and all existing full scale patient simulators for intubation and non-invasive ventilation.
 

Key Features

• Realistic patient simulator, which can be programmed for typical lung diseases such as ALI, ARDS, COPD, etc.
• Accurately replicates lung mechanics, gas exchange and hemodynamics
• Spontaneous breathing and CO2 production are integrated
• Automated responses to interventions such as PEEP, CPAP and FiO2
• With its calibrated sensors, TestChest® serves as a reference for the examination of anesthesia respiratory devices
• TestChest® responds to all therapeutic interventions such as pressure support, PEEP, CPAP, FiO2 and recruitment maneuvers.
• Airway connector changes any airway head or manikin to a physiologic lung simulator
• Hemodynamic module with an artificial finger simulates the oxygenation and cardiopulmonary interactions.
• Turns any existing mannequin into a physiological lung simulator because TestChest has an airway opening that can be fitted to any mannequin or single head device.
• TestChest can be connected to all ventilators, for intubated patients as well as mask ventilation.
• All modalities are possible: pressure-volume maneuvers, recruitment, PEEP adjustment, expiratory trigger sensitivity, pressure control, assist control, volume control, SIMV, PAV, adjustment, APRV, PSV, CPAP, PRVC, ASV, Intellivent and all other modalities.
   

Outcomes

Whatever you set as a patient, the result of the treatment provided by the student will show on airway pressures, lung volume, arterial oxygen saturation, end-tidal CO2, and more. Outcome is not created by the operator but by the interaction between student and TestChest, in real-time and reproducibly. New forms of interactive learning are possible: submit the same case to different students and let them compete on outcome in a safe environment.
 

Realistic Simulation

• Simulates normal spontaneous breathing to mechanical ventilation of heavily diseased lungs
• Over 20 Programmable parameters: respiratory rate and depth, airway resistance, lung compliance and muscular activity
• Compatible with all humidified breathing gas mixtures
• Accurately portray complex breathing patterns, pneumothorax, weaning from mechanical ventilation, and much more
• Includes pre-programmed scenarios for mechanical ventilation weaning, NIV, ARDS, COPD and COVID-19
   

Robust Design

Housed in a metal sheet enclosure, two rubber bellows are driven by a linear motor who is able to produce pressures higher than 100mbar. Two steel rods guide the lung assembly which is powered by two independent power supply modules. Ultra-low maintenance and Swiss Quality reliability secure your investment.
 

Active Learning

• Appropriate for use with beginning and advanced learners
• Problem-Based Learning promotes development of critical thinking and decision making skills
• Remote operation promotes independent decision-making by participants
• Programmable scenarios simulate progression of lung diseases and recovery process
• Safe, controlled learning environment without risk to patients
   

Benefits For Educators

• Physical model is paired with advanced modeling to accurately portray normal respiratory function and pathologies
• Built-in sensors enable automated physiologic responses to interventions, allowing educators to fully focus on participants
