The Linear Test Lung (LTL) is a passive, one-compartment test lung with adjustable compliance. It performs more like a real patient than other bag-style lungs, maintaining a smooth response to progressive inflation, without any “hiccups” due to bulging-out of the bag. The LTL produces a linear compliance curve and realistic inflection points. It is used to simulate a range of patient conditions with compliances of C10, C30, C60 (approximate). The LTL is significantly more cost-effective than similar bag-style test lungs, while providing an impressively realistic performance.
