Means of triggering
The breath delivery is triggered depending on the breath type—mandatory or
assisted—and ventilation mode. The sensitivity setting, adjustable in increments
of 1, ranges from 0 to 9, with 0 being the most sensitive and 9 being the least
sensitive.
Inspiratory trigger delay
time
Volume delivery is initiated based on the breath type and ventilation mode.
Available waveforms
Square waveform
PARAMETER
DESCRIPTION
Means of initiating and
terminating inspiratory
phases
Control ventilation mode: The inspiratory phase is started and terminated by the
ventilator based on set inspiratory time and respiratory rate.
Assist/Control ventilation mode: The inspiratory phase is started based on the
patient’s breath triggering or by the ventilator based on set inspiratory time and
terminated by the set inspiratory time.
Assist ventilation mode: The inspiratory phase is started based on the patient’s
breath triggering and terminated by the set inspiratory time.
Backup ventilation
parameters
If a
Breath Timeout
alarm is triggered, the ventilator delivers the set volume
at a continuous flow rate of 3 LPM or 12 BPM, preset by a clinician. When a
patient’s breath is detected again, the ventilator delivers the set volume based on
Ventilation Settings
parameters.
Other Operating Requirements And Features
Inspiratory pressure relief
Pressure is relieved through the patient’s mouth or through the patient interface.

Breath sensing line purge
flow
A flow of gas is delivered through the sensing lumen to keep the sensing line
patent.
Fail safe mechanisms
Safety valve prevents overpressure condition in lung, mitigating breath stacking
