1.4 Functional description
Control concept:
The FLO Vigaro operates along the principle of an electric air turbine. The
linearly adjustable positive pressure level of the therapy pressure needed at
any one time is generated with great accuracy.
This is made possible by determining and evaluating pressure values. The
actual pressure is detected directly from the mask system and at the fan. A
flow curve is also calculated.
The measured and calculated parameters allow the control response to be
adjusted exactly to the needs of the patient. This guarantees optimum patient
care at all times.
Air flow concept:
A radial turbine draws ambient air in via a filter. The air is routed via an air
humidifier and through the breathing tube system to the patient's nasal mask.
The pressure gauge hose, which extends into the mask, ensures that the
airway pressure can be measured at all times. The mask pressure is
continuously recorded by the microprocessor and maintained by selective
adjustment of the turbine. Pressure fluctuations caused by respiration can thus
be quickly evened out.
