Getting started
3.2 Selecting ventilator settings
NOTE:
Each keypress should result in a “blip” sound; otherwise, the
main alarm speaker may be faulty. If a keypress does not result
in this sound, turn the ventilator off then on to run POST and
verify the proper functioning of the speaker.
1. Select the mode: To select a mode, press A/C, SIMV, or SPONT.
(Appendix D gives a detailed explanation of these ventilation
modes.)
A/C
SIMV
SPONT
In assist/control (A/C) mode, you can only select volume
control ventilation (VCV) or pressure control
ventilation (PCV) settings (PCV is only available on the
760 Ventilator).
In synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation
(SIMV) mode, you can select both VCV or PCV (760 only)
and pressure support ventilation (PSV) settings.
In spontaneous (SPONT) mode, you can only select PSV
settings.
2. Confirm or change settings: For every flashing key light, you
must touch the key (and adjust the setting if necessary) before
you can apply the settings. You can confirm or change settings
in any order.
Once you press a key, the proposed
setting flashes to indicate that the
knob is linked to the selected
setting. The setting’s LCD window
shows the setting and the message
window displays the current
setting, range, units, name of the
setting, and associated parameter.
Turn the knob to change the
setting or press another key to
leave the setting as is. (The setting
then stops flashing.)
Press each flashing key
and turn the knob to
adjust.
