Peak Flow Rate
Maximum flow rate during the inhalation cycle of a breath can be
displayed on the top line of the control module display. Units of
standard liters per minute, indicated by “PEAK SLPM”, and actual
liters per minute, indicated by “LPM”, can be selected using the
DISPLAY UNITS key. See
Section 3.7
,
Display Information
, for
definitions of these units of measure. For the High Flow module air,
O
2
, and air/O
2
mixtures can be selected using the GAS SELECT key.
For the Low Flow module air, O
2
, and N
2
O can be selected using the
GAS SELECT key.
NOTE
: A valid flow cycle must occur for this value to be displayed.
See
Section 3.6

, for details.
3.4.3
Volume
Volume that occurs during the inhalation cycle of a breath can be
displayed on the top line of the control module display. Units of
actual liters, indicated by “ATP L”; standard liters, indicated by “STP
L”; or liters at body temperature and pressure saturated, indicated by
“BTPS L” can be selected using the DISPLAY UNITS key. See
Section 3.7
,
Display Information
, for definitions of these units of
measure. For the High Flow module air, O

Minute Volume
Minute volume calculated from the inhalation cycle of the last breath
and breath rate can be displayed on the top line of the control module
display. Units of “MINUTE VOL ATP L” (actual liters), “MINUTE VOL
STP L” (standard condition liters), or “MINUTE VOL BTPS L” (liters at
body temperature and pressure saturated) can be selected using the
DISPLAY UNITS key. See
