C.6 ASV Start up
When ASV is started, the device delivers 3 (three) test breaths
in the synchronized intermittent mandatory pressure ventila-
tion mode. The device automatically selects the values for SIMV
rate, inspiratory time (TI), and inspiratory pressure (Pinsp) based
on the calculated IBW, which is determined from the operator-
set Patient height and Gender settings, and according to infor-
mation described in Table C-6 and Table C-7.
