and last value that was set for pressure support
is displayed, together with the last value set for

flashes on and off (3 in Figure 70).

the last trigger setting used. The “sync” indication will
appear in the status field (3 in Figure 70).
Synchronization is maintained (trigger remains on at
the set value) when pressure support is deactivated
(set to “OFF”).
Pressure support (∆P
PS) is automatically deactivated
when the trigger is deactivated (set to “OFF”). Trigger
status is shown above the ventilation parameter soft
keys (2 in Figure 70).
