Therapy is an option which allows use of a Continuous Flow of blended gas, between 0 to 15
LPM in NEO and 0 to 30 LPM 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
LPM, 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.
11.3 Special functions

In all ventilation modes (expect O2 therapy), a manual breath can be triggered
by pressing the Manual Inspiration button.
The manual breath will continue while the manual breath key remains
depressed. The maximum duration of the manual breath can be set under the
Configurations menu -
> Ventilation.
This could last from 2 to 30 seconds, then a termination of the manual breath
will be forced.
The next manual breath is only allowed after a Block Period of 200
milliseconds.
NOTE: Manual Breath is NOT available in O

Some clinicians use a lung re-recruit manuvre after suctioning.
A manual breath however can lead to lung over distension.
