The systems and methods for testing a medical device, as described herein, provide a novel approach for determining if the medical device is functioning properly without having to connect the medical device to a patient. For example, these systems and methods test the functionality of a medical device without utilizing an artificial lung or controlling pressure and flow monitored by the medical device and without making any hardware changes to the medical device.
