Nose simulator with multisampling modes for airstream evaluation

A nasal simulator includes a three-dimensional (3D) printed nasal cavity within based on diagnostic imagery of a human nasal cavity. The nasal simulator comprising a fan system positioned to mimic air flow through the human nasal cavity. A first probe access bore is formed through the 3D printed nas...

Zusammenfassung:	A nasal simulator includes a three-dimensional (3D) printed nasal cavity within based on diagnostic imagery of a human nasal cavity. The nasal simulator comprising a fan system positioned to mimic air flow through the human nasal cavity. A first probe access bore is formed through the 3D printed nasal cavity to a first location having a first internal contour. An anemometer insert having an outer diameter sized to be slidingly received in and to pneumatically seal the first probe access bore, the anemometer insert having a distal contour that aligns with the first internal contour of the 3D printed nasal cavity, the anemometer insert having a longitudinal bore that is sized to receive a probe of an anemometer to detect characteristics of the air flow through the 3D cavity.
