At
BREATH RATE
settings of 6 BPM or above, the ventilator delivers
mandatory breaths at the preset breath rate and will not sound an
apnea alarm.

Pressure Cycle
In the Pressure Cycle mode, the ventilator functions identically as in
the Assist/Control mode with the following exception. The ventilator
delivers gas flow from the piston until the high pressure limit is
reached. If the high pressure limit is achieved prior to end of stroke,
motor rotation reverses to retract the piston, and the exhalation
valve is depressurized. The volume set on the

therefore not delivered to the patient.
In Pressure Cycle mode, the high pressure alarm is activated only if
the peak pressure achieved exceeds the

The LED board is connected by a ribbon cable to the logic board.
Exhalation Solenoid Valve

Exhalation Solenoid Valve
This valve allows for inflation and deflation of the Patient Manifold
mushroom. A 12V source activates the normally closed valve, allow-
ing air to inflate the mushroom and thereby preventing patient
exhalation during the inspiratory cycle.
Pressure Transducer
Pressure Transducer
Pressure Transducer
Pressure Transducer
This transducer indicates the patient pressure as a reading on the
pressure gauge. The output voltage ranges from 0 to 5 V. At atmo-
spheric pressure, the output voltage is 0.8 V, to allow for negative
patient pressure. The logic board monitors the signal from the
transducer, comparing the signal with set values.

Fan
On units with the older through-hole power/motor board, the unit’s
fan operates on 12V and blows across the heat sink to help dissipate
heat. The newer surface-mount power/motor does not have a heat
sink, so the fan is not needed.
