Timing Limitations to Ventilation Controls
While in A/CMV, SIMV, and SPONT modes, the ventilator limits the
setting of any ventilation parameter so that inspiratory time and I:E
ratio cannot exceed the following limits.
• Inspiratorytimecannotbelessthan0.01seconds.
• Inspiratorytimecannotexceed5.0secondsforadultand3.0
seconds for Infant/Pediatric patients (not counting an Inspiratory
Hold).
• I:Eratiocannotexceedaninverseratioof4:1.
Control Retention
All ventilation control settings, except Noninvasive and Scale setting,
are retained when e360 is powered OFF. When the ventilator is
powered ON, the control settings that are retained in memory are the
initial Start Ventilating ventilation and alarm settings unless the user
selects new settings.
Control Range
All variable ventilation controls are limited to a specified range.
For some controls, the range is dependent on the selected patient
category. When the patient category is changed, the selection for a
variable ventilation control may be out of range.
