9.3 Inspiration Hold
Inspiration Hold means to extend the patient’s time of inspiratory phase manually and to
prevent the patient from expiration for a certain period of time.
Select the [Tools] key→[Functions]→[Insp. Hold]. Push and hold the [Insp. Hold] key. The
ventilator starts the Inspiration Hold function and the screen shows [Insp. Hold Active].
Release the [Insp. Hold] key. The ventilator terminates the Inspiration Hold function.
Inspiration Hold is active for a maximum of 30 seconds. If the [Insp. Hold] key is pushed
and held for more than 30 seconds, the ventilator terminates the Inspiration Hold function
automatically.
During Inspiration Hold, the ventilator calculates Cstat and Pplat automatically and displays
the calculation results in the prompt message box.
NOTE
There is at least one expiratory phase between two inspiration holds.
The system responds to Insp. Hold key pressing operation only in non-standby

Inspiration Hold function is disabled in CPAP mode and is supported when apnea
