Résumé
In this work we describe a breath emulator system, used to simulate temporal characteristics of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO A range of emulated capnogram temporal waveforms indicative of normal and restricted respiratory function demonstrated. The system can provide controlled introduction of water vapour and/ or other gases, simulating the influence of water vapour in exhaled breath and presence of other gases in a clinical setting such as anaesthetic agents (eg N The breath emulator uses a unique combination of mass flow controllers, needle valves and a fast acting switchable pneumatic solenoid valve (FASV), used to controllably emulate exhaled CO The system described here produces realistic human capnographic waveforms and has the capability to emulate various waveforms associated with chronic respiratory diseases and early stage detection of exacerbations. The system has the capability of diagnosing medical conditions through analysis of CO
