QuickLung Precision Test Lung

An adjustable precision test lung for ventilator testing and training. Simulates a wide range of patient compliance, resistance, and inspiratory effort conditions. Compatible with all ventilators from ICU to transport.

  • What is the QuickLung used for in a simulation program?
    It is used for ventilator performance verification, in-service staff training, basic mechanical ventilation education, and sales demonstration — covering the full range of clinical and educational ventilator training needs in a single compact device.
  • Why is a bellows-style test lung better than a bladder-style?
    Bellows-style construction delivers more linear and predictable respiratory simulation than bladder-style test lungs, providing consistent and reliable results across repeated testing and training sessions.
  • What does the QuickTrigger simulate?
    The detachable QuickTrigger simulates a physiologically correct patient inspiratory effort using negative pressure — allowing learners to practise ventilator triggering and mode management as they would in real patient care.
  • What is the difference between the adult and paediatric variants?
    The paediatric version has a smaller bellows with a maximum tidal volume of 400mL and lower compliance settings (C15, C6, C3) specifically suited to simulating paediatric patient loads — the adult version covers standard adult compliance and resistance ranges.
  • Can it be upgraded for more complex training scenarios?
    Yes. The QuickLung is the core of a modular system — the optional QuickLung Breather adds spontaneous breathing simulation across multiple breathing patterns including Eupnea, Cheyne-Stokes, Biot’s, Kussmaul, and Apneusis for more advanced ventilator management training.
