Adjustable Airway Pressure Relief
•
The MCV100(B) have an effective adjustable airway pressure relief range of
between 5 and 60 cm H
2
O.
•
The adjustable airway pressure relief allows the user to limit the maximum airway
pressure delivered via an adjustable pop-off valve.
•
Note that this is not a direct control of the airway pressure, but rather an upper
limit control. Therefore it is adjusted by viewing the current maximum airway
pressure on the LCD screen, and adjusting the knob to limit this maximum airway
pressure.
•
The set maximum airway pressure is dependent on tidal volume; therefore, any
change in these settings will alter the maximum airway pressure.
