QuickLung Breather System
A motor-driven spontaneous breathing simulator that mounts onto the QuickLung test lung. Simulates five breathing patterns across adjustable compliance, resistance, tidal volume, rate, and I:E ratio settings.
Pack size:
- How does the QuickLung Breather differ from the standard QuickLung?
The standard QuickLung is a passive test lung requiring manual adjustment, while the Breather adds a motor-driven arm that actively opens the bellows to simulate the inhalation phase of a spontaneously breathing patient — enabling training on triggering-sensitive ventilator modes. - What ventilator modes can be trained using the Breather?
It supports training on SIMV, Pressure Support, PAV, and other spontaneous and triggered modes — giving educators the ability to demonstrate and test real ventilator responses to patient-initiated breathing across a range of clinical scenarios. - What patient scenarios can be simulated?
By adjusting compliance, resistance, tidal volume, rate, and I:E ratio, educators can simulate ARDS, COPD, breath stacking, ventilator dyssynchrony, paediatric asthma exacerbation, and more — across five programmable breathing pattern modes. - Does it require an external gas source?
No. The Breather runs on standard mains power only — no compressed gas source is required, making it straightforward to set up in any training environment. - Can an existing QuickLung be upgraded with the Breather?
Yes. The QuickLung and QuickLung Junior both retrofit onto the Breather base in seconds — meaning practices that already own a QuickLung can upgrade without replacing their existing equipment.
