IngMar - Model ASL 5000 - Breathing Simulator
The ASL 5000™ is the world’s most sophisticated breathing simulator, and capable of simulating the full range of patients – neonatal to adult. The ASL 5000 is able to breathe spontaneously even while being ventilated and can be used with any ventilator (and any ventilator mode). The ASL 5000 can help you save time, accelerate development and gain better control of testing protocols.
This highly accurate, versatile instrument represents the premier choice for product development and testing for ventilators, CPAP, aerosol drug delivery and other respiratory therapy devices. Review this list of research studies using the ASL 5000 to learn about how others are using the ASL 5000.
- If you intend to use the ASL 5000 for training, please see our offerings with software designed for educators: the RespiSim System or the ASL 5000 Lung Solution for the SimMan Platform. If you already own an ASL 5000, check out our upgrade options.
- Perform long term testing on all ventilator modes with virtually any patient type
- Develop adaptive algorithms on ventilators
- Simulate patient breathing associated with sleep apnea for development of CPAP devices
- Evaluate aerosol drug delivery devices using realistic high-flow inhalation
- Compare ventilators or ventilator modes (e.g. pressure support mode) on the same reproducible patient
- Create repeatable breath patterns at a high level of accuracy for respiratory device product development with the smart pump
- Integrate the ASL 5000™ into your proprietary automated device testing with the Test Automation Interface (TAI)
- Quickly start simulations by selecting a patient from our library of over 35 preconfigured patient models
- 100+ parameters for detailed analysis of entire patient breath cycle
- Export all data including waveforms and breath parameters for deeper statistical analysis
- 512 Hz sampling rate provides very granular feedback across a wide range of breath rates
- Highly accurate throughout the entire range of neonatal to adult tidal volumes and breath rates
- Calibrated system traceable to NIST standards (sample calibration certificate)
- Flow calculated from piston position eliminates the uncertainties of external flow meters.
