When transitioning from active ventilation to CPAP/BL modes, or from CPAP/BL with LC
mode to active ventilation, the following parameter/alarm limit may be adjusted:
•
Low BPM Alarm
•
High BPM Alarm
•
Low Airway Pressure Alarm
•
PEEP
•
VT High Limit
•
VT Low Limit
•
Rise Time
•
Pressure Support
Warning!
The transition into CPAP/BL automatically sets the rise time to 3, which may be too fast
for some patients as well as infants and small children. Before using the ventilator with
an infant or small child, you should always configure the ventilator appropriately
before attaching the patient and monitor the patient to ensure optimal support.
Note:
The Patient Detect alarm triggers when you connect the patient to the ventilator while
the Start Menu is still active. To resolve the alarm, you must select a mode of
ventilation and configure the device appropriately for the patient. In addition, you
should perform the Operational Test procedure before reconnecting the patient to the
device.
9. Change Parameter Values
If the patient requires parameter values that differ from the default values, you can use the
parameter buttons to change these values. To change the parameter values, press the parameter
buttons to highlight the primary parameter and secondary parameter values, or press and hold
the parameter button to display the parameter’s context menu. Use the
Dial
to adjust the value
of the highlighted parameter. Press the
Accept
button to implement the change.
Warning!
The alarm limits must be appropriate for the patient being ventilated. If a parameter is
changed, adjust the high and low alarm limit to bracket the new value.
