Control settings
C-Flex (optional) Enhances traditional CPAP by reducing the
pressure at the beginning of exhalation––a
time when patients may be uncomfortable
with CPAP––and returning it to the set CPAP
pressure before the end of exhalation. The
amount of pressure relief is determined by
the C-Flex setting and the expiratory flow.
The higher the setting number (1, 2 or 3)
and the greater the expiratory flow, the
greater the pressure relief (during the active
part of exhalation only).
Applies in CPAP mode only.
OFF, 1 to 3
CPAP Continuous positive airway pressure. The baseline pressure applied during the expiratory
phase.
Applies in CPAP mode only.

(optional)
Expiratory Cycle Sensitivity. Auto-Trak+ employs several algorithms to determine the point
at which the ventilator cycles into exhalation. This setting adjusts all algorithms
simultaneously. At the lowest setting (-2), inspiration terminates later, resulting in the
longest inspiratory time. At the highest setting (+6), inspiration terminates earlier,
resulting in the shortest inspiratory time. Normal is the Auto-Trak setting used when Auto-
Trak+ is not enabled.
Applies only when the optional Auto-Trak+ feature is installed.
