Therapy is an option which allows use of a Continuous Flow of blended gas, between 0 to 15
L/min in NEO and 0 to 30 L/MIN in PED mode. Nasal Cannulas of various makes like F&P, Atom or
similar can be used. There are no Alarm functions active in this mode, except for the set FiO
2
NOTE:
This mode can also be used to put the Ventilator in Standby mode. By setting a Flow of 4
L/min, the Humidifier dual servo temperature controls remain active, so there is no need
to switch it OFF in case of short-term Standby mode.
There are no patient alarms active in this mode.

See Section 10: “Ventilation parameters”
11.9.1 Volume limit
The Volume limit function automatically switches to expiration when the default Tidal Volume is
reached.
When changing the ventilation pattern or adjusting the volume limit, the Tidal Volume is
automatically limited.
The display will show the message: “Volume Limited”.
In the event of Flow Measurement Outage (for example: changing the sensor)
“V-limit” will automatically be deactivated.
After Flow Measurement is available again “V-limit” is automatically
reactivated.
