ISO 9360-2 Figure 1 Simulated Patient Head | Passive HME Testing Model

 Plastic Material Simulated Patient Head with ISO 9360-2-figure 1 Standard

The ISO 9360-2 Figure 1 Simulated Patient Head | Passive HME Testing Model is a professional anatomical simulation device manufactured by KingPo. It is specifically designed to replicate the human head and upper airway for performance testing of passive heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) intended for tracheostomized patients, in full accordance with ISO 9360-2 Figure 1.

Technical Parameters

The Simulated Patient Head is precision-molded from high-grade engineering plastic that exactly replicates the geometry and surface characteristics of the human head and upper airway as defined in ISO 9360-2 Figure 1. The internal airway channel is engineered with precise dimensional tolerances to ensure accurate gas flow, moisture loss, and pressure drop measurements.

All external surfaces are smooth and non-porous for easy cleaning, while the stable mounting base provides vibration-free attachment to test rigs. Realistic anatomical landmarks allow correct placement of HMEs and breathing circuits, eliminating variability in test results.

Testing Principle

The device simulates the upper airway of a tracheostomized patient. A passive HME is connected to the head’s patient port while controlled humidified and heated gas flows through the system. The HME’s ability to retain and return moisture and heat from exhaled gas is measured according to the test methods in ISO 9360-2 (moisture loss and pressure drop).

Common Error Mitigation

To ensure repeatable and accurate results, always confirm the HME is fully seated on the patient port without gaps and that test gas flow matches the minimum tidal volume requirement (≥250 ml). Regular gentle cleaning of the airway channel prevents residue buildup that could affect moisture exchange performance.
