Artificial Lung Surfactant

Simulated Pulmonary Surfactant for Respiratory Device Testing – ISO 18562-3 Compliant

Testonic® Artificial Lung Surfactant is a lipid-protein based simulation fluid formulated for the evaluation of ventilators, nebulizers, endotracheal tubes, and other respiratory devices in accordance with ISO 18562-3. Designed to mimic the physicochemical behavior of natural pulmonary surfactant in alveoli, it provides a reliable medium for VOC (volatile organic compound) emission testing, surface interaction analysis, and biocompatibility studies of breathing gas pathways.

Application Areas

• VOC emission testing for respiratory devices (ISO 18562-3)

• Surface compatibility testing of ventilators, oxygen masks, and nebulizers

• Alveolar surfactant simulation for in vitro studies

• Evaluation of lipid–protein interaction with breathing circuit components

• Biocompatibility assessments of respiratory product surfaces
