By pressing the corresponding touch-screen button, the ventilator starts delivering 

a flow of O

2

 at 8 L/min through the Nebulizer exit, during the inspiratory phase. This 

flow should be channeled through the patient circuit. Use the accessories included 
in the nebulizer kit for this. The nebulizer kit is placed between the final inspiratory 

segment of the patient circuit and the Y-shaped connection. 

The flow provided by the Nebulizer is considered by the equipment to be an inspira

-

tory flow and is added to the flow coming from the patient outlet opening to complete 

the programmed volumes (in VCV).

WARNING

• If the Nebulizer function is activated and the 

flow provided by the Nebulizer outlet is NOT 

directed to the patient circuit, volumes that 

are lower than the adjusted values will be de

-

livered in VCV breaths.

Nebulization can be interrupted in three different ways:

• By time. 30 minutes after the function is activated.

• Voluntarily. By pressing the

 [Nebulizer] 

key.

• Automatically by the ventilator. If, during nebulization, the peak flow does not reach 

an adequate value to be compatible with nebulization, the nebulization is interrupted. 
This event is accompanied by low priority alarms (Interrupted Nebulization alarm).

Nebulization is enabled for all operative modes in ADL and PED patient categories. 
For NEO-INF patients, only the TCPL and SIMV (TCPL) + PSV modes have an 

option for nebulization with a continuous flow of 8 L/min.

 RESPIRATORY 

MECHANICS Menu.

iTernIS ADV

 offers the possibility of performing different tests to categorize the res-

piratory mechanics of the patient being ventilated. For further information, consult 
the 

Respiratory Mechanics

 chapter, which describes all the tests in detail.

NOTE

• Keep in mind that some respiratory mechanics 

tests may only be performed in certain operati-

ve modes and under certain conditions (see the 

Respiratory Mechanics

 chapter).
