Microprocessor-controlled Ventilator Theory of Operation

1.2 Microprocessor-controlled Ventilator
The Microprocessor-controlled ventilator, with its dedicated Breathing System, allows time-
controlled, pressure limited, constant volume ventilation for all patient groups within a tidal
volume range of 40 mL (4 kg infant) to 1400 mL (large adult).
Time-controlled, pressure limited, and compliance compensated constant volume ventilation
is provided through the Controlled Mandatory Ventilation (CMV) mode. The CMV mode
delivers a viable ventilation method for complicated lung conditions. The ventilator also
provides time-controlled, volume dependant ventilation, targeting a set (adjustable) target
pressure provided through the Pressure Controlled Ventilation (PCV) mode. Automatic and
comprehensive system startup tests and alarm management systems ensure controlled
ventilation conditions in every mode of operation.
The durable and ergonomically designed user interface and Navigator
™
Knob enables easy
operation. The display provides the selected ventilation modes (CMV, PCV, PS and SIMV)
and the following values: Tidal Volume, Peak Pressure, Mean Pressure, FiO
2
, Breath Rate, I:E
Ratio, PEEP, Plateau Pressure, Alarm limits, and real-time Airway Pressure and flow
waveform.
