Sigh Feature
The sigh feature is available for Volume ventilation modes only. When the sigh feature is enabled, the ventilator delivers a sigh breath in place of every 100th mandatory or assisted breath delivered regardless of the mode of operation (i.e., AC, CV, and SIMV). The Sigh breath is delivered using a volume equal to 150% of the set volume that was in effect when the breath was initiated.

The device provides a dual prescription feature that allows you to enter a primary prescription and a secondary prescription for the patient if needed. For example, you can set a primary daytime prescription and secondary nighttime prescription. See Chapter 5 for more information on the dual prescription feature.
Note: Both prescriptions must use the same circuit type.
