Works with all ventilators
“TestChest is a universal simulator compatible with all ventilators for both intubated and mask ventilation. It supports ай modalities, including pressure-volume maneuvers, PEEP adjustment, pressure control, assist control, SIMV, CPAP,and more. Beyond training, it checks the functionalty of ventilators and respiratory devices in labs.”
Creates Outcome
The scenario will be set as a patient the result of the treatment provided by the trainee will be shown on airway pressures, lung volume, arteríal oxygen saturation, end-tdal CO2, and more. The outcome is not created by the operator but by the interaction between trainee and TestChest, in realtime and reproducibly. New forms of interactive learning are possible: submit Ihe same case to different students and let them compete on the outcome in a safe environment.
Intended Use
This highly accurate, versatile instrument represents the premier choice for respiratory care training. Due toits physiological modelling, TestChest can be set to represent any kind of clínical manifestation of pulmonary disease, even ones that are not know today as shown with Covid-19 patients. Product development ап testing for ventilators, CPAP, aerosol drug delivery and other respiratory therapy devices can be easily done with TestChest.
Intended Use

Intended Use
Algorithms are based on actual human physiology. Simulator responds autonomously to interventions made. Works with actual ventilation devices, both non-invasive & invasive, any make, any mode
Intended Use
TestChest® combines the simplicity of a physical model with the sophistication of advanced mathematical modelling to provide a complete solution for a real patient's conditions. TestChest® is capable of replicating pulmonary mechanics, gas exchange and hemodynamic responses of healthy and pathological adult.
Intended Use
TestChest® is programmable and can be remotely operated to simulate in an unprecedented way the evolution of diseases as well as the recovery process.It allows the operator to control respiratory rate and depth to simulate complex breathing patterns and thus allows the evaluation of specific pathological alterations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is TestChest and what does it simulate?
TestChest is an autonomous human lung simulator — for both adults and pediatric use — that realistically mimics human respiratory and cardiac physiology, including breathing, gas exchange, lung mechanics, and hemodynamic responses. It enables simulation of healthy and diseased lung conditions for training and testing.
Who is TestChest intended for?
It’s intended for healthcare professionals, training institutes, medical colleges, respiratory therapists, intensive care staff, and biomedical labs — basically anyone needing realistic ventilation and respiratory-care training, ventilator testing, or simulation of pulmonary diseases
Which ventilators or respiratory devices work with TestChest?
TestChest is designed to be universal — it works with virtually all ventilators ( except NAVA) and respiratory support devices (invasive and non-invasive), and supports multiple ventilation modes (e.g. pressure-controlled, volume-controlled, CPAP, SIMV, pressure-volume maneuvers, PEEP adjustment, etc.).
Can TestChest simulate different lung conditions (healthy and diseased)?
Yes. TestChest can replicate a wide range of lung mechanics — variable airway resistance, lung compliance, non-linear pressure–volume behavior, lung collapse and recruitment, and dynamic gas-exchange changes. This allows simulation of different disease states or respiratory pathologies.
Is TestChest suitable only for training, or can it be used for ventilator testing / research too?
Not only for training. Because of its accurate physiologic modelling and compatibility with real ventilators, TestChest can be used for ventilator testing, evaluation of respiratory devices, drug-delivery testing, quality control, and research in respiratory therapy.
Does TestChest support both adult and pediatric simulations?
Yes. The product is described as suitable for both adult and pediatric applications.
What kind of scenarios can be simulated (breathing, ventilation support, emergencies)?
Scenarios include spontaneous breathing, controlled mechanical ventilation, variable respiratory rates and patterns, lung collapse/recruitment, airway resistance changes, gas-exchange abnormalities, and responses to interventions such as ventilation support, oxygen therapy, weaning, and more — enabling both routine and critical/emergency condition simulations.
Is the simulator’s response realistic and measurable (vital signs, lung volumes, waveforms)?
Yes. TestChest provides realistic responses to interventions: airway pressures, lung volumes, gas exchange parameters (e.g. oxygenation, CO₂), hemodynamic responses, and other vital-sign outputs. It also allows monitoring and assessment of trainee actions — useful for education and evaluation.
How is TestChest different from simple lung “test bags” or basic lung trainers?
Unlike basic lung bags or static lung models, TestChest offers high-fidelity simulation: physiologic breathing, dynamic lung mechanics, programmable compliance and resistance, realistic gas exchange and hemodynamics, non-linear PV curves, disease condition simulation, and real-time feedback — making it far more advanced and realistic
