ADJUSTING THE TRIGGER SENSITIVITY (PATIENT ADJUSTABLE)
Trigger sensitivity determines how easily a patient’s inspiratory effort triggers the breath delivery. For shallow
breathing, set the trigger sensitivity to a low number. You can choose a setting between 0 and 9. Zero is the most
sensitive and 9 is the least sensitive setting.
An Activity Button must already be selected (the ventilator must be currently ventilating) to allow changes to the
Trigger Sensitivity settings through the patient-accessible
Settings
menu.
NOTE:
Trigger Sensitivity cannot be adjusted by patients when the currently-ventilating Activity Button represents
a prescription in Control Mode (Sensitivity is OFF).
ACCESSING THE TRIGGER SENSITIVITY SCREEN
On any screen, touch the
Wrench
button.
On the
Menu
screen, touch
Settings
.
On the
Settings Menu
screen, touch
Trigger Sensitivity

NOTE:
A grayed-out
Trigger Sensitivity
button indicates that this feature is
not available for one of the following reasons:
• An Activity Button has not been chosen (the ventilator is not currently
ventilating). For more information, see "Choosing an Activity Button
(Patient Selectable) to Begin Ventilation" on page 67.
• The currently-ventilating Activity Button represents a prescription in
Control Mode. For more information, see "Setting Ventilation Parameters
in Control Ventilation Mode" on page 57.
