NPPV
The ventilator provides Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) as a secondary
mode that may be selected in addition to the primary ventilation mode. When NPPV mode is
selected, ventilation is delivered according to the selected mode, however, a modified set of alarms
are active. NPPV is selected using the Extended Features menu and is not selectable from the front
panel controls. While the ventilator is operating in NPPV mode, the NPPV LED is lit.
In NPPV mode, only the following alarms are active:
• High Pressure • Apnea Alarm and Apnea Backup ventilation
• Sense Line Disconnect • External Power Lost
• Internal Battery Low • Internal Battery Empty
• Vent Inop • Defaults
All other alarms are disabled. The displays for Low Minute Volume and Low Peak Pressure are set
to dimmed dashes indicating they are not available.

mode, many of the standard alarms are disabled. This may
result in reduced ventilation accuracy should a problem occur. Carefully read Chapter 4 - Ventilation
Modes, NPPV, before selecting this mode of operation.
AVERTISSEMENT
Mode NPPV – Le mode NPPV n’est pas un mode de maintien des fonctions vitales continu et il n’est
pas approprié pour les patients qui ont besoin d’une ventilation continue pour le maintien des
fonctions vitales. Le mode NPPV ne doit être utilisé que comme ventilation supplémentaire pour les
patients qui ne nécessitent pas de maintien des fonctions vitales.
Mode NPPV – Lorsque l’appareil fonctionne en mode NPPV, bon nombre des alarmes standards
sont désactivées. Par conséquent, si un problème survient, la précision de la ventilation pourrait
diminuer. Assurez-vous de lire attentivement le chapitre 4 – Types de respiration et modes de
ventilation, mode NPPV avant de choisir ce mode de fonctionnement.
