3. Ramp
Whenever the turbine has been started, the
microcontroller of the device checks whether a
soft start ramp has been programmed.
While the programmed time elapses, the soft
start function increases the pressure from
an adjustable initial ramp pressure (P-ramp) up
to the pressure prescribed, thus allowing you to
fall asleep more easily.
In particular if you are not yet used to the respi-
ration therapy the soft start can help you get
accustomed to the device and fall asleep easily.
The device allows delay times ranging from
zero (the prescribed therapy pressure is applied
at once) to 60 minutes (the prescribed therapy
pressure is built up within 60 minutes).
The initial ramp pressure (P-ramp) can be set
by health professionals within a range from 4
hPa to the pressure prescribed.
To set the ramp, first go to the Patient menu
(press the
button for approx. 1 second), then
select »Ramp« with the buttons
and
.
Press the
button. Now select the desired
time by pressing the buttons
and
.
Press
