Low Inspiratory Pressure
This setting congures the Low Inspiratory Pressure alarm. It is only
user-settable in CV, AC, and SIMV modes. It cannot be set lower than
PEEP + 2 cm H2O or higher than the High Inspiratory Pressure. For
passive circuits, you can increase or decrease the Low Inspiratory
Pressure from 6 to 40 cm H2O in increments of 1 cm H2O. For active
circuits, you can increase or decrease the setting from 2 to 40 cm H2O
in increments of 1 cm H2O. For pressure modes, this alarm is not user-
settable.
High Inspiratory Pressure
This setting enables or disables the High Inspiratory Pressure alarm. It
is only user-settable in CV, AC, and SIMV modes. The High Inspiratory
Pressure cannot be set lower than the Low Inspiratory Pressure. You
can increase or decrease the High Inspiratory Pressure from 10 to 80
cm H2O in increments of 1 cm H2O. For pressure modes, this alarm is
not user-settable.
Additional Settings Specic to Therapy Modes
The Settings and Alarms menu also contains many additional
settings specic to the various therapy modes. The specic settings
for each therapy mode are described below.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Mode
In addition to the general settings described in the previous section
of this manual, you can also set the following settings in CPAP mode.
1. CPAP
You can increase or decrease the CPAP pressure setting from 4 to
20 cm H2O in increments of 1.
2. Trigger Type
The device can be set to trigger breaths based on automatic ow
thresholds or specic ow settings. You can select Auto-Trak or
Flow Trigger as the Trigger Type. When Auto-Trak is selected, the
Auto-Trak trigger initiates based on automatic ow thresholds.
Note: If the CPAP pressure is
set to 4 (the minimum setting),
the Ramp Length setting will be
unavailable.
Note: Trigger Type is not
available when an Active PAP
or Active Flow circuit is selected.
Flow trigger is the triggering
method used for Active PAP and
Active Flow circuits.
