displayed, the calculated value for the I:E ratio that will result from the PCV
rate value is also displayed.
When the setting window insert for VCV Apnea Rate is displayed, the
calculated minute ventilation that will exist if the ventilator goes into Apnea
Ventilation in VCV is shown. When the setting window insert for PCV Apnea
Rate is displayed, the I:E Ratio shown is the I:E Ratio that will exist if the
ventilator goes into Apnea Ventilation in PCV.

For all breath types, VCV, PCV, and NPPV, the ventilator ensures the Apnea
Rate setting is equal to or greater than the set Rate up to 20 BPM. When set
rate is equal to the Apnea Rate and less than 20 BPM increasing the Set Rate
increases the Apnea Rate equally up to 20 BPM. Above 20 BPM the Apnea
Rate can be greater than or less than the Set Rate, down to 20 BPM.
