iBR
Enable / disable the
intelligent Backup Rate
(iBR).
Off / On (ST mode)
Always enabled (iVAPS mode)
Resp. Rate
Sets the breaths per
minute (BPM).
5-50 BPM
Backup Rate Sets a fixed backup rate.
5-50 BPM
Target Pt
Rate
Sets the rate input for
iBR. This should be set at
the patient's actual
respiratory rate.
8–50 BPM (ST mode)
8–30 BPM (iVAPS mode)
Target Va
Determines the amount
of pressure support
required by the iVAPS
algorithm.
1–30 L/min, 0.1 L/min
increments
Ti
Sets the duration of
inspiration in timed
breath.
0.3–4.0 sec, 0.1 sec
increments
Dependent on Respiratory
Rate.
Ti Max
Set the maximum limit
on the time the device
spends in IPAP.
0.3–4.0 sec, 0.1 sec
increments
Dependent on Backup Rate.
Ti Min
Set the minimum limit on
the time the device
spends in IPAP.
0.1–[Ti Max] sec, 0.1 sec
increments
Dependent on Ti-Max.
Rise Time
Set the time taken for
pressure to increase from
EPAP to IPAP.
The Rise Time scale can
be approximately read as
‘milliseconds’ (eg, 200 is
approximately 200 ms).
Min / 150–900 ms, 50 ms
increments
Dependent on Ti or Ti Max.
