Both the RespiSim® System Pro Package and the ASL 5000™ Lung Solution for SimMan® allow for advanced ventilator management training using a manikin and any real ventilator. If you already own a compatible SimMan, the Lung Solution may be the most cost-effective way of incorporating high-fidelity respiratory simulation into your program.
In fact, since the same ASL 5000 Breathing Simulator can be used in both systems, you can give yourself maximum functionality.
The table below provides a side-by-side comparison of the specifications and features of the two systems. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at sales@ingmarmed.com or (412) 441-8228, ext 129.
