The patient definition determines the limits of adjusting its height, whose value is used to
calculate its ideal weight. For this, it is estimated ideal weight considering a Body Mass Index (BMI) of
22 adult patients and 15 pediatric and neonatal patients.

By defining the patient, the operator may adjust height and volume by weight on the
corresponding buttons. The ideal weight for patient is used to calculate some parameters of ventilation,
aiming to provide a closer approximation to the appropriate values to ventilate the patient.
•
To change the type of patient is necessary to place the equipment on standby mode.
•
Patient options and tracks available may vary according the ventilator model.
6.5.3.5 Calibration of oxygen sensor (O

cell)
In CONFIG menu it is also possible to perform the calibration of the oxygen sensor (cell). To do
so, just tap on the CALIBRATE button and await the beginning of the process.
•
The equipment must be in standby mode (STAND BY) to perform calibration of the oxygen sensor.
