
When O2 supply type is low-pressure, pressing the [100%O2] key will not activate oxygen
enrichment, rather display the prompt message [Fail to Start with Low Pressure O2
Supply].

100%O2 (oxygen enrichment) is disabled in Standby status.

Removing the patient tubing during oxygen enrichment will start suction function. Refer
to section 9.6 Suction.
9.6 P0.1
P0.1 is the occlusion pressure drop within the first 100 ms after a patient starts
spontaneous breathing.
1. Select the [ Tools ] key
→
[ Diagnostics ]
→
[ P0.1 ].
2. Select [ P0.1 ] to access the P0.1 measurement window.
3. Select [ Start ]. The system starts P0.1 measurement and prompts
[ Measurement Active ].
4. After the measurement is completed, the measurement result is displayed. The
ventilator can display the three most recent measurement results.
5. After the measurement is completed, Waveforms and Spirometry screen is
frozen automatically.
NOTE

During P0.1 measurement, pressing the [Freeze] key does not produce freezing operation.

If no operation is performed on P0.1 measurement window within three minutes, the
measurement window exits automatically.
9.7 O2 Therapy
O
2
therapy is a method to increase O
2
concentration in the airway at normal pressure
through simple tube connections. O
2
therapy is a medical measure which can increase O
2
concentration in the alveolar gas and facilitate O
2
diffusion so as to increase PaO
2
and
SpO
2
saturation and relieve or correct hypoxia by increasing O
2
concentration in the
inspired gas. O
2
therapy is a way for hypoxia prevention or treatment, providing O
2
concentration higher than that in the air.
WARNING

Only use oxygen masks for O2 Therapy. Do not use masks for non-invasive ventilation
(NIV). The patient may be at risk if unsuitable masks are used.

During O2 therapy, only the O2 concentration FiO2 and O2 flow monitored.

During O2 therapy, all physiological alarms are shielded except O2 concentration
physiological alarms.

Airway pressure and expiration-dependent ventilation parameters, such as flow, minute
volume, or apnea, are not monitored.

O2 therapy can only be used on patients with spontaneous breathing.
