Manual/Spontaneous Ventilation Mode
ManSpont (Manual/Spontaneous) is a non-auto-
matic mode of ventilation. However, the ventilation
monitor and alarms are still operational. In
ManSpont mode, the ventilator piston is moved par-
tially upward to reduce system compliance. Manual
ventilation (with APL valve pressure limit) can be
delivered with the APL valve in the MAN position.
Spontaneous ventilation (APL valve wide-open)
can occur with the APL valve in the »
Spont « posi-
tion.
The following examples and illustrations describe
starting Man/Spont ventilation from the present
ventilation mode »
