What are the
computer requirements for running the
ASL5000?
At least 500 MHz Pentium 3 running Windows 2000 Professional
or XP operating system; 255+ MB RAM.
A serial port must be available. If the
computer is not equipped with a built-in
serial port, then a USB-to-serial converter
or PCMCIA card for serial port emulation may
be used. Monitor should be at least XGA
(1024 x 768) pixel resolution or better.
How does the ASL5000 interface with a ventilator?
The ASL5000 can be connected to the ventilator using any
standard tubing or breathing circuits via a
22mm ISO port on the front of the
instrument.
Can I use the ASL5000 with humidified air or aerosol
agents?
Yes. In such instances, you would need to add the IngMar Medical
Auxiliary Gas Exchange Cylinder (AGEC) to
the ASL5000. The AGEC consists of a clear
acrylic cylinder with openings at the top
and bottom that allow it to act as a
“bag-in-bottle” device. This will serve to
protect the ASL’s cylinder from any
incompatible substances.
How do I calibrate the ASL5000?
The only calibration necessary is that of the pressure sensor
in the standard configuration. Instructions
for the pressure sensor calibration
procedure are included in the ASL5000
Service Manual. The ASL5000 can also be
shipped to IngMar Medical, Ltd. or one of
our appointed distributors for calibration.
The Fast Oxygen Module can also be user
calibrated, provided 100% oxygen is
available.
How do I know whether the ASL5000 would be
appropriate for my application?
The ASL is intended for use in Training and
Education; Respiratory Device Research and
Development; Respiratory Care Research and
in Respiratory Equipment Quality Assurance
and Quality Control.
If you work in any of these areas and any of
the following points is important to you,
then the ASL5000 could be of benefit to
you:
|
 |
You need a simulator that will breathe
spontaneously. |
|
|
You are interested in respiratory patterns
of adult patients through those of neonatal
patients. |
|
|
You want to be able to simulate the
respiratory activities resulting from
specific respiratory disease states, such as
asthma and sleep apnea. |
|
|
You also need a precision flow waveform
generator. |
|
|
You want to be able to repeat complex
respiratory patterns over and over again. |
|
|
You also want the capability of changing
parameters “on the fly” while a simulation
is running. |
|
|
You want access to a robust “on-board”
analysis package for analyzing the results
of a simulation, for example for ventilator
triggering or other events. |
