Modes
A/C
In the Assist/Control position, a mechanical breath is delivered with each inspiratory
effort, provided the patient satisfies the assist sensitivity criteria. If the patient does
not meet the assist sensitivity criteria, the ventilator automaticallydelivers breaths
according to the Ventilator Rate control. Mechanical breaths may then be either
patient initiated (assisted) or ventilator initiated (controlled).
SIMV/IMV
In the SIMV/IMV position, a combination of mechanical and spontaneous breath
types is available. Mechanical breaths, either assisted or controlled, are delivered at
the set ventilator rate while all other breaths are spontaneous. Disabling the assist
sensitivity mechanism. or removing the flow sensor from the ventilator, will cause the
equivalent of IMV mode of ventilation to exist.
CPAP
In the CPAP position, the Base Flow control establishes the continuous flow
available for spontaneous breathing.
STANDBY
The STANDBY position discontinues all electrical controls and functions with the
exception of the charging system for the internal battery.
NOTE
If the ventilator is connected to air and O2 sources, blended gas will circulate while
ventilator is in the STANDBY position, making gas available from the Auxiliary Gas
Outlet. The amount of gas flow circulating is determined by the Base Flow setting.
