Starting the Pressure Ventilation Mode
4. When all the parameters have been preset,
press the confirm knob to start pressure
ventilation (4 in Figure 68).
Table 5. Adjustment ranges and factory default values
for pressure mode parameters
The parameter soft keys turn green and display
the preset parameter values. The “Pressure”
indication in the status field stops flashing and is
displayed continuously. Pressure ventilation
begins.
If a pressure parameter has to be changed
during ventilation:
• Press the soft key for the
parameter to be changed, turn
the confirm knob to the desired
value, and press knob to
confirm.
Note: Pressure mode can also be started without
presetting values:
• Press the >Press Mode< key
located at the bottom of the
display panel, and press the
confirm knob. Default parameter
values are used.
Note: There is 15-second timeout period for
making ventilation mode changes, with a
5-second audible tone sequence after the
first 10 seconds. If the new setting is not
confirmed within the timeout period, the
current ventilation setting remains in effect.

2. Depending on the configuration, the inspiratory time (TINSP) can be
automatically changed together with adjustment of the frequency so
that the resultant ratio of inspiration to expiration (I : E) remains
constant. Only applies if trigger = OFF. See the “Configuration”
