Volume Control (VC) Ven�la�on uses a square
flow waveform
All flows, volumes and pa�ent data parameters are
Inspiratory, NOT Expiratory
The set pressure is Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PC or PSV).
ΔP = Set Pressure - PEEP
The ven�lator uses an external PEEP Valve for supplying
and maintaining the PEEP
Always perform the Pre-Use Pressure Test BEFORE
connec�ng a new circuit to a pa�ent
In PSV mode, the expiratory trigger sensi�vity is fixed at
10 L/min or 25% PEAK inspiratory flow
Set the Low Inspiratory Pressure Alarm ABOVE PEEP
Spontaneous breath trigger is a flow trigger (L/min)
1 L/min is the most sensi�ve se�ng
10 L/min is the least sensi�ve se�ng
Note for Trigger Sensi�vity
