4.2.12 Target Volume
The Target Volume setting defines the tidal volume that the Vivo 3 will aim for while
ventilating the patient in a pressure mode. This is done by adapting the Inspiratory Pres-
sure between two adjustable pressure limits: Min IPAP and Max IPAP.
Property Description
Value range 100 ml to 1500 ml.
The available range for Target Volume might also be limited
by the set values for Breath Rate.
Default value 100 ml
Setting resolution Below 500 ml: 20 ml
Above 500 ml: 50 ml
Available in modes
• PCV+A
• PSV
• S
• S/T
• T
4.2.13 Max Pressure
The Max pressure setting is only used when Target Volume is activated.
Max pressure defines the upper pressure limit up to where the Vivo 3 can increase the
pressure to reach the set Target Volume. If Target Volume is not reached at Max pres-
sure, the Vivo 3 will continue to ventilate at this Max pressure setting.
