Liner Test Lung
A passive bag-style test lung with a linear compliance curve and realistic inflection points. More responsive than standard bag-style lungs, autoclavable, and compatible with the Parabolic Resistor Ring for extended simulation range.
- How does the Linear Test Lung differ from the QuickLung?
The LTL is a simpler, more cost-effective passive test lung for basic ventilator testing and in-service training, while the QuickLung offers more compliance and resistance settings, adjustable leaks, and the option to add the QuickTrigger for inspiratory effort simulation. - What makes it perform more like a real patient than other bag-style lungs?
Its unique design prevents the bag from bulging out during inflation, eliminating the compliance curve distortions and sudden pressure changes that make other bag-style lungs unpredictable. The result is a smooth, linear compliance curve with realistic inflection points throughout the full range of settings. - Can it be used with any ventilator?
Yes. The LTL connects to any ventilator from ICU to transport using a standard ET tube connection — just like a real patient. - Can resistance be adjusted beyond the fixed Rp20 setting?
Yes. Pairing the LTL with the optional IngMar Medical Parabolic Resistor Ring extends the resistance simulation range for more complex ventilator testing and training scenarios. - Is it suitable for infection control protocols?
Yes. The LTL is autoclavable at 120°C, making it suitable for use in environments where decontamination between training sessions is required.
