RespiPro® Manikin is a specialized respiratory manikin with an anatomically-correct airway and chest structure paired with high fidelity spontaneously breathing lungs, the ASL 5000®. RespiPro® Manikin’s compact torso is easy to transport and to store. It is ideal for training in:

Airway Management:

• Head tilt, jaw thrust, chin lift
• Anatomically accurate oral and naso pharyngeal airway
• Larynx piece with palpable rings for both surgical and needle cricothyroidotomy and percutaneous tracheostomy
• Full use of supraglottic devices
• Endo-tracheal tube insertion with direct laryngoscopy
• Effective bag mask ventilation
• Combi tube insertion
• Naso gastric tube insertion techniques
• Realistic chest movement and expansion consistent with patient’s breaths including volume, depth and rate

Chest tube insertion: recognition of correct position, surgical incision, blunt dissection through chest wall, perforation of pleura, and finger sweep:

• Anatomically accurate chest tube insertion in the 5th intercostal space
• Realistic feel of all thoracic palpable landmarks
• Cavity for introduction of optional liquids for simulation of hemothorax or pleural effusion

Needle Decompression of tension pneumothorax:

• Option to introduce air to create either right or left tension pneumothorax
• Needle decompression replacement tissue sets located in 2nd intercostal space at mid-clavicular line
• Successful needle insertion releases air with the familiar “hiss” sound
• Durable replacement tissue facilitates up to 30+ needle incisions

Identification of tracheal deviation and jugular vein distension:

• Jugular vein distension can be observed on either the left or right side of the neck during tension pneumothorax
• Tracheal deviation can be palpated and clearly visible moving away from the side that has tension pneumothorax
• Both features revert back to neutral upon successful needle decompression

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR):

• Realistic chest structure allows for easy identification of all anatomical landmarks
• Full head tilt, chin lift, and jaw thrust capabilities to allow the students to prepare the airway prior to resuscitation
• Lifelike recoil during compressions
• Successful ventilation will provide an accurate representation of chest rise and fall

RespiSim® Software allows instructors to stay in control of the simulation. You can amplify effects, throw students a curveball, or get the simulation back on track to ensure that learning goals are met.

• 90+ lung models, neonatal through adult
• Randomize all lung parameters within a set boundary
• Set a trend for each lung parameter individually
• Set patient’s inspiratory time (Ti) directly

Transform the way you deliver mechanical ventilation training – from anywhere, to anyone! Harness the power of cutting-edge waveform analysis and intuitive patient-ventilator interaction, tailored for remote or in-person audiences. Driven by the globally recognized and respected ASL 5000^® lung modeling technology, our Virtual Ventilator presents a lifelike experience of ventilation training, sparing you the inconvenience and expense of traditional high-fidelity simulators.

Both of these solutions allow for hands-on ventilator management training with any real ventilator. Please review this resource to compare specifications.

Our RespiSim® System may be the best choice for respiratory care programs (particularly those who do not already own a compatible Laerdal manikin). The RespiSim® System is tailored to the specific needs of respiratory care educators, and we offer an extensive library lung models and two scenarios which are not available with the Lung Solution.

If you already own a compatible Laerdal manikin, the Lung Solution may be the most cost-effective way of incorporating high-fidelity respiratory simulation into your program. Because Laerdal manikins include a wide range of non-respiratory capabilities, this solution is also suited for interdisciplinary training.

In fact, since the same ASL 5000® Breathing Simulator can be used in both systems, you can even give yourself maximum functionality by purchasing the RespiSim System and the ASL 5000® Lung Adapter. The Lung Adapter includes the software plug-in for LLEAP and the hardware necessary for physically integrating the ASL 5000® with the compatible Laerdal manikin. 

The ASL 5000® Breathing Simulator provides the lungs for the RespiSim® System and is its core component.  The RespiSim® Software controls the ASL 5000® and provides a user interface tailored to the needs of educators.

Absolutely. We design our products to be modular whenever possible so that you can expand your system according to your needs and your budget. To integrate the RespiPro® Manikin, your ASL 5000® might need a few hardware upgrades. Contact us to find out what additional components your system requires, if any.

Yes. Learn about RespiSim® Packages.

Yes, this product is the ASL 5000® Lung Solution. Developed in collaboration with Laerdal, this solution allows you to integrate our ASL 5000® Breathing Simulator, with the SimMan® 3G, SimMan ALS, SimMan Essential, SimMan 3G Trauma, Nursing Anne Simulator and the new SimBaby™.

Just like a real patient, the RespiSim® System can be used to train on any ventilator and most modes of ventilation. The connection is made either with an ET-tube or LMA or with a mask, for non-invasive ventilation.

The ASL 5000® (the RespiSim® System’s lungs) holds PEEP at any level, even > 20 cmH₂O.

Yes, the ASL 5000® is capable of simulating the full range of patients from neonatal to adult. Currently, RespiPro® is designed to work with the RespiPro® Manikin, but you can simulate neonatal and pediatric patients without a manikin by simply connecting the ventilator directly to the front of the ASL 5000®.

The RespiSim® System (including RespiPro® Manikin) will work with any level of pressure a ventilator would deliver to a human patient, up to 50 or even 80 cmH₂O.

We recommend size 3-5 for LMA laryngeal masks and similar respective sizes for other supraglottic devices. We provide an airway kit that includes a 6.0 and 8.0 endotracheal tube and a size 3 LMA.

There are two ways to do this.

You can upload your own sound files (file types accepted: .mp3, .wav, & .au) to be played during the simulation. These sounds would play through the Instructor Display PC speakers.

If you are using the RespiPro® Manikin, our RespiScope® Advanced Auscultation Option can be used. It provides excellent sound quality without any stray sounds from the inner workings of the manikin. Sounds are controlled by the instructor either manually or are part of the RespiSim Scenarios. When the learner auscultates the manikin with the RespiScope®, it activates the playing of sounds directly into the ear tips of the stethoscope.

The RespiPro® Manikin is pneumatically driven via the RespiPro® Interface Box. The ASL 5000® Breathing Simulator (RespiPro® Manikin’s lungs) is the driving force behind RespiPro® Manikin’s chest rise, which, like in a human patient, occurs because of air flow and pressure changes. The ASL 5000®, the RespiPro Interface Box, and the computer that controls the system are electrically powered.

RespiPro® Manikin is not intended to be used without the ASL 5000®, as its unique value is in the high fidelity lungs. Without the ASL 5000®, RespiPro® Manikin becomes a passive patient with no respiratory effort and can be ventilated like this type of patient, exhibiting a stiff lung, like an ARDS patient would. Airway management, chest tube insertion, needle decompression, and CPR skills can be trained with the passive RespiPro® Manikin.

RespiPro® Manikin features replaceable tissues which help provide each trainee with a lifelike and unique surgical experience. Supplies are readily available from either IngMar Medical, or your local TruCorp distributor. Replaceable parts include neck skin covers, combo Larynx, subcutaneous fat tissue, chest drain inserts, needle decompression inserts, and larynx membrane inserts.

To help you quickly master the power of the RespiSim® System, training is included in all of our educational packages. Our RespiSim® training programs have been approved for Continuing Respiratory Care Education (CRCE) credit by the American Association for Respiratory Care. They may also be submitted for recertification for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare’s Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) and CHSOS (Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist) professional certifications.
