Chapter 5 Viewing and Changing Settings

The screen below shows an example My Settings screen in which the
Ramp Start Pressure is being changed.
You can change the following settings in the My Settings menu, if
they are enabled.
•
Rise Time – The Rise Time is the time it takes the
ventilator to change from expiration to inspiration. If this
feature is enabled, you can adjust the Rise Time from 1
to 6 to find the setting that provides you with the most
comfort. A setting of 1 is the fastest Rise Time, while 6 is
the slowest.
•
Ramp Start Pressure – The ventilator is equipped
with an optional Ramp feature. Ramp reduces the
pressure and then gradually increases the pressure to
the prescription setting to allow the patient to become
acclimated to the therapy over a period of time. The
setting can be adjusted from 4.0 to the prescription
pressure setting in increments of 1.
•
Flex – The optional Flex feature allows you to adjust the
level of air pressure the patient feels during exhalation. If
this feature is enabled, you can adjust the setting from 1
to 3.
Sample My Settings Screen
(with Ramp Start Pressure
Selected)
Note : If the Flex feature is
enabled, the Rise Time setting
will
not appear on your My
Settings screen and cannot be
adjusted. When Flex is enabled,
the Rise Time is fixed at a setting
of 3.
Note: When adjusting the Flex
setting, it is recommended that
you start with the minimum
setting of 1, which provides
the least relief. Levels 2 and
3 progressively increase the
pressure relief.
Note
: If you are using an Active
PAP circuit, the Flex feature is
unavailable.
Note : Flex is only available if
Auto-Trak is enabled.
