Respiratory Mechanics Maneuvers with Flow-Trak
Maneuver Affect of Flow-Trak
Static C & R The maneuver is cancelled if the patient initiates a Flow-Trak breath. A
message appears when the maneuver is cancelled due to the change in breath
type.
Dynamic C & R Dynamic C & R are not calculated for Flow-Trak breaths.

Flow-Trak Affected Alarms
Alert Message Description
I-Time too long The breath transitions from inhalation to exhalation when 3.5
seconds has passed for adults or 2.5 seconds for pediatrics from
the start of the mandatory breath. If the operator’s settings result
in a calculated I-Time > 3.5 seconds for adults or 2.5 seconds for
pediatrics, then the calculated I-Time is the cycling criteria.
Low Inspiratory Pressure Not available for the Flow-Trak triggered breath only.
