The “Manual Breath” can be activated during FOT, but this will deactivate FOT.
To re-enable FOT after a Manual Breath / Sustained Inflation, you must restart
FOT from the beginning.
The Start / Stop button can be used to interrupt mechanical ventilation for two
minutes, but this will deactivate FOT.
Any FOT measurements taken during Standby are NOT vaild.
Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
• Flow sensor not calibrated or defective;
• Incorrect pressure measurement line application or use;
• Excessive patient spontaneous breathing (strong active respiratory
drive);
• Excessive leakage at the patient interface.

procedure.

FOT submenu.

needs (FOT contains a recruitment and a derecruitment phase starting at the set low pressure
level and turning back at the high-pressure level).
4.1. Adjust the pressure related alarms to avoid unnecessary patient alarms during the
maneuver.
5. When all FOT parameters are set appropriately for the patient’s respiratory system, FOT is
ready to be initiated by pressing the ON / OFF button, which will turn Green and a confirmation
message will appear on the display.
