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.
Our RespiSim Pro Package may be the best choice for respiratory care programs (particularly those who do not already own a SimMan). The RespiSim System is tailored to the specific needs of respiratory care educators. The cost of the RespiSim Pro Package is less than the cost of the ASL 5000 Lung Solution plus a SimMan 3G manikin. If you do not need a manikin, or it is not currently in your budget, consider our RespiSim Essential and RespiSim Plus Packages. You can always add a manikin later.
In fact, since the same ASL 5000 Breathing Simulator can be used in both systems, you can 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 SimMan.
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.
