lb Pound (unit <strong>of</strong> weight).<br />
LOW INSP<br />
PRESSURE<br />
An alarm that indicates that monitored circuit pressure<br />
is below the alarm setting at the end <strong>of</strong> inspiration.<br />
m Meter (unit <strong>of</strong> length).<br />
maintenance All actions necessary to keep equipment in, or restore<br />
it to, serviceable condition. Includes servicing, repair,<br />
modification, overhaul, inspection, and performance<br />
verification.<br />
mandatory A breath whose settings and timing are preset; can be<br />
triggered by the ventilator, patient, or operator. A<br />
mandatory breath is characterized by three <strong>of</strong> these<br />
four variables: tidal volume, flow waveform, inspiratory<br />

alarm<br />
An operator-initiated mandatory breath. Pressing the<br />
MANUAL INSP key on a 700 Series Ventilator delivers<br />
one mandatory breath to the patient.<br />
A calculation <strong>of</strong> the measured average ventilator<br />
breathing circuit pressure over an entire respiratory<br />
cycle.<br />
An alarm that requires prompt attention. When a<br />
medium-priority alarm is active, the yellow CAUTION<br />
indicator flashes and the medium-priority audible<br />
alarm (a repeating sequence <strong>of</strong> three beeps) sounds.<br />
min Minute (unit <strong>of</strong> time).<br />
minute<br />
volume<br />
The volume delivered to a patient in 1 min (V T x<br />
respiratory rate). The 740 Ventilator estimates total<br />
minute volume based on the previous 60 s or eight<br />
breaths, whichever interval is shorter.<br />
ml Milliliter (unit <strong>of</strong> volume).<br />
