Michigan Instruments Donates Two TTL Units to Local University
TTLGrand Rapids, MI – Grand Valley State University students will soon have the opportunity to simulate the proper management of life-like respiratory ailments using the latest in training and test lung devices. Grand Rapids-based, Michigan Instruments…

Increase in Training Test Lung Calibration Charge
TTLMichigan Instruments would like to announce a change in cost associated with the calibration of many Training and Test Lung respiratory simulation models.
On November 1, 2014, the cost for models 1600, 1601, 1603 and 4600 (recommended every…

Understanding the Role of Inertia in Mechanical Test Lungs
TTLIt’s no secret—mechanical systems move differently than biological systems particularly when it comes to inertia. This concept has a number of significant implications when working with a mechanical test lung.
During ventilation, the inertia…

Simulating a Pneumothorax on a Dual Adult Lung
TTLA number of our customers have been requesting information on how to simulate a pneumothorax using the Michigan Instruments Dual Adult Lung. The following will describe how this condition can be simulated on a Training & Test Lung, using…

Military vs. Medical: Five Things Private Simulation Labs Need
TTLIt is no secret that military spending has gone down since sequestration (and other spending cuts), and simulation was one of the areas to take a major hit from this. This has led to increased private simulation lab interest and funding.
I…

High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation-Part One
TTLAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, or ARDS, is by no means a new condition in the respiratory care industry, but there are certainly some new treatments being tested to help treat it. Herneations, H1N1, SARS and many other conditions are all…

Assessing High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation-Part Two
TTLThis is part 2 of our series focusing on assessing high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. Check out part one here.
Due to difficulties in assessing the outputs (from the patient’s perspective) of HFOV ventilators, many analysts have resorted…

Using High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation – Part Three
TTLIn using high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) tidal volume and LPM (flow) values can be exceptionally difficult to monitor. Several third-party devices have been developed to monitor this, but due to a lack of any solid standard of…
