Spontaneous Breathing
Assist Control Function
•
Should the patient begin to breathe spontaneously, the MCV100(B) will
sense this breath being taken, and deliver the set Tidal Volume at the
corresponding Inspiratory Time. The breath timing will be reset based on the
breath per minute rate.
•
The gas flow rate delivered to the patient during the spontaneous breath is
based on the Tidal Volume selection listed below. Should the patient
demand exceed the gas flow rate, the additional demand will be supplied by
ambient air via the anti-suffocation valve located in the breathing circuit
connection fitting
