The
Active Servo Lung 5000 Adult/Neonatal Breathing Simulator, a powerful new
software package, is based completely on LabVIEW, National Instrument's acclaimed
instrumentation software. Spontaneous breathing can be simulated with any breath
profile, including coughs and active exhalation -- even actual patient recordings.
The ASL 5000's modeling parameters are software configured, allowing users
to specify precisely the response of any active or passive lung model. (Photo:
