Operation
Trigger
(optional)
Trigger Sensitivity. Auto-Trak+ employs several algorithms to determine the point at which
the inspiration begins. The larger the value, the more sensitive the trigger (that is, the
patient can trigger inspiration with less effort). Normal is the Auto-Trak setting used when
Auto-Trak+ is not enabled.
Applies only when the optional Auto-Trak+ feature is installed.
Normal, +1 to
+7
V
T
(AVAPS
Target Tidal
Volume)
Target tidal volume to be delivered during inspiration. The ventilator meets this target by
adjusting the inspiratory pressure with each breath.
Applies in AVAPS mode only.
200 to
2000 mL

Setting Description Range
Table 6-4: Alarm settings
Setting Description Range
Hi Rate (High Rate Alarm) High total breath rate. 5 to 90 BPM
Lo Rate (Low Rate Alarm) Low total breath rate. 1 to 89 BPM
NOTE: In non-CPAP modes, the Low Rate Alarm is
essentially off if set below the Respiratory Rate
setting.
Hi V
T
(High Tidal Volume
Alarm)
High exhaled tidal volume. 200 to 3500 mL
Lo V
T
(Low Tidal Volume
Alarm)
Low exhaled tidal volume. OFF to 1500 mL
HIP (High Inspiratory
Pressure Alarm)
High pressure at the patient
airway.
5 to 50 cmH
2
O
LIP (Low Inspiratory
Pressure Alarm)
Low pressure at the patient
airway.
OFF to 40 cmH
2
O
NOTE: In the S/T and PCV modes, the LIP alarm should
be set 3-5 cmH
2
O below the IPAP level. When
set in this manner, the alarm works in
conjunction with the LIP T alarm to indicate if
there is a failure to trigger between the two
pressure levels. It will also alert the clinician to
pressure degradation due to excessive leaks. See
figure below.
