10 Ventilation parameters
Backup Frequency
In the event of apnea spontaneous breathing is stimulated
after the apnea duration with a default number of
mechanical breaths.
Backup trigger depends on apnea period setting.
Backup Rate in PSV and S-duoPAP modes
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
The ventilator provides continuous flow for producing airway
pressure at the set CPAP level
• IPPV
• SIPPV
• SIMV
• SIMV + PSV
• PSV
Expiratory flow (base flow)
The continuous expiratory flow is variable separately from
the inspiratory flow.
• Flushing dead space in the Y-piece
• Maintaining the PEEP
Duration of O2 Flush*
Adjustable from OFF; 20 – 120s.
*In section 16: Setting ranges and parameters

Frequency (Rate)
Frequency of mandatory breaths. In SIPPV mode the
delivered breath rate may be higher depending on the
patient spontaneous breathing.
