Parameter Monitoring (Numerics) Operations
5 - 20 046-003777-00 A5/A3™ Operating Instructions
5.10 Parameter Monitoring (Numerics)
The system displays parameter monitored values in the monitored parameter area. The monitored
parameters are separated into three groups: pressure, volume and gas (available with the AG module)
or FiO
2
(available without the AG module).
5.10.1 Pressure
The Pressure parameter group consists of 3 parameters:
• Airway Peak Pressure (PEAK)
• Plateau Pressure (PLAT) or Mean Pressure (MEAN)
• Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
If the parameter data is out of range, it is displayed as “– – –”.
NOTE: The high alarm limit for Airway Peak Pressure (PEAK) is displayed to the
top right of the reading. The low alarm limit for Airway Peak Pressure
(PEAK) is displayed to the bottom right of the reading.
NOTE: The display of either Plateau Pressure (PLAT) or Mean Pressure (MEAN)
is configured from the System menu tab.

5.10.2 Volume
The Volume parameter group consists of 3 parameters:
• Tidal Volume (V
T
)
• Minute Volume (MV)
• Respiratory Rate (Rate)
If the parameter data is out of range, it is displayed as “– – –”.
NOTE: The high alarm limit for Minute Volume (MV) is displayed to the top
right of the reading. The low alarm limit for Minute Volume (MV) is
displayed to the bottom right of the reading.
