15.4.2. BACKUP VENTILATION BEFORE STARTING PATIENT VENTILATION
If patient is connected to the ventilator, the following conditions may also
initiate backup ventilation:
a) Ventilation has not started yet, but ventilator is turned on (either
patient weight, ventilation method or start command was not chosen
by the user).
b) Patient trigger sensed.
If conditions a) and b) above were met, then backup ventilation starts.
• "Backup ventilation mode" alarm is activated - "OK" displays.
o If the user approves, the Patient Type window appears,
and then the backup starts.
o If the user does not approve, the action is canceled and
the ventilation does not start.
• The "Backup ventilation mode" icon appears on top of the screen
after the last alarm was either accepted or discarded.

1. Initial pressure support value is set to PS=18 cm H
2

cm H
