Functions and Parameters of the Vivo 40
This chapter includes descriptions of the modes and parameters used for con-
trolling the ventilation of the Vivo 40.
4.1 Ventilation Mode
The following modes can be selected for the Vivo 40:
• PCV mode (Pressure Control Ventilation)
• PSV mode (Pressure Support Ventilation)
• CPAP mode (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
4.2 Device Mode
• Clinical
• Home
In order to prevent the patient from changing the settings, the home mode
should be activated before giving the Vivo 40 to the user. The home mode hides
treatment settings, alarm limits and other selected information.
The clinical mode is used by the clinician to control all mode choices, settings
and limits.
4.3 Settings
All the parameters that are used for controlling the breathing by the Vivo 40 are
listed below.
IPAP (PSV & PCV only, mandatory)
The IPAP setting is used for defining the patient’s airway pressure during the
inspiration phase.
EPAP (PSV & PCV only, mandatory)
The EPAP setting is used for controlling the patient’s airway pressure during the
expiration phase.
Read the chapter “Settings Applicable for the Different Modes” on page 59 for
information about the modes and ranges the different settings work with.
