3.4.1 Waveforms Autoscaling
If the measured value of Paw or Flow is larger than the boundary at the end of breath cycle, the
system will auto scale the Paw or Flow at the beginning of the next breath cycle.
If the measured value of Paw or Flow is less than the boundary minus a margin at the end of two
continuous breath cycles, the A5/A3 System will auto scale the Paw or Flow at the beginning of the
next breath cycle.
Paw scale:
The margin will be 10 cmH

O. For software bundle version 02.02.00 and later, the margin will be 10
cmH2O if pressure ≥ 30 cmH2O.
For software bundle version 02.02.00 and later, the margin will be 3 cmH2O if pressure <30 cmH2O.
