TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE DEVICE
ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE FEATURES
The essential performance features of the CARAT II pro are:
• pressure-controlled mechanical support with a pressure accuracy of
±
(2 % of the scale value + 8 % of the actual measured value),
• sounding of an alarm when inspiration pressure is exceeded, and alert by
remote alarm,
• the volume-controlled, mechanical support with a volume accuracy of
±
20 %
for a tidal volume above 100 ml or at a minute volume above 3 l/min,
• sounding of an alarm when the alarm parameter “Low Inspiration Volume” is
not met or when the alarm parameter “High Inspiration Volume” is exceeded,
and alert by remote alarm,
• sounding of an alarm when the alarm parameter “Low Expiration Volume” is
not met or when the alarm parameter “High Expiration Volume” is exceeded,
and alert by remote alarm,
• sounding of an alarm when the alarm parameter “Low Frequency” is not met or
when the alarm parameter “High Frequency” is exceeded, and alert by remote
alarm,
• sounding of an alarm when the alarm parameter “Low FiO
2
” is not met and alert
by remote alarm (only with an external FiO
2
monitoring),
