Configuration
11.5.4 System setup > Therapy
11.5.4.1 Vertical tab "Vent. 1"
The start settings for VT and RR influence the start values of the alarm limits for
MV high and MV low:
The "offset" value corresponds to the respective offset setting for automatic alarm
adjustment. The "offset" value can be set in System setup > Alarms > vertical
Autoset tab. If "Offset" is set to Off, the factory default value of 40 % is used for the
automatic calculation of the alarm limits.

Man/Spon
Specifies the default ventilation mode at
the start of therapy.
VT and RR start settings Specifies the tidal volume and the
respiratory rate.
Based on Patient category; Ideal body weight
Selected:
[Patient category]
Specifies the tidal volume and the
respiratory rate based on the patient
category.

Selected:
[Ideal body weight]
Specifies the tidal volume and the
respiratory rate that are based on the
ideal body weight.
Set the tidal volume and the respiratory
rate for the supporting points 5; 15; 75;
100 kg (11; 33; 165; 220 lb).
For calculated values for ideal body
weights that lie between these 4 sup-
porting points, the start settings for tidal
volume and respiratory rate are interpo-
lated linearly. For ideal body weight val-
ues lying outside these supporting
points, calculation proceeds with the
values of the highest or lowest support-
ing point.
