3.5.3 Trigger Sensitivity
Whenusingsynchronisedventilatormodes,thenetchangeofgasvolumeowcausedbythe
NOxBOX
i
maytripthetriggerowsetting.Alwayscheckthetriggersensitivityoftheventilatorafter
connecting the NOxBOXi to the patient circuit.
3.5.4 Maximum NO Dose Delivery
The NOXBOX is capped at maximum dose capability of 80 ppm in software.
Additionally,themaximumowcapabilityoftheNOxBOX
i
is physically limited. This will cause
somedoselimitationsathigherventilatorowrates.
The NOxBOX
i
iscompatiblewithawiderangeofNOsupplyconcentrations,notethatthephysical
owlimitationhaslesseffectonthe1000ppmcylindersupplycomparedtothe400ppmsupply.
SeeFigure3.5.41:GraphofNOxBOXiMaximumDosingCapability.
