A device employed to simulate the mechanical characteristics of a human respiratory system. This apparatus allows for the verification and calibration of mechanical breathing support devices. For instance, during the setup of a new mechanical breathing apparatus, the device is connected to this simulation tool to ensure appropriate pressure and volume delivery prior to connection to a patient.
Its use is critical in ensuring the accuracy and safety of respiratory support. By providing a controlled and consistent environment, it allows clinicians and biomedical engineers to validate the performance of these devices, identify potential malfunctions, and optimize settings. The development of this technology has played a vital role in advancing respiratory care, enabling more precise and effective management of patients with respiratory compromise.
