The Rise Time is the time it takes the ventilator to change from expiration to inspiration.

Respiratory Rate (the number of breaths per minute).

Secure Digital card; This card records usage and therapy data from the device.

A breath that is delivered every 100 mandatory or assisted breaths at 150% of the normal volume.

Synchronous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation therapy mode; SIMV mode delivers Spontaneous, Assisted, and Mandatory breaths with a user-defined inspired tidal volume. This is a Volume Control mode.

A low-power state entered when the ventilator is running on the internal or detachable battery and the blower has been off for five minutes. This state preserves battery power. The device is restored by plugging the unit into AC power, inserting an SD card, or by pressing the Start/Stop button.
