3.7 HFO (SLE5000 only)
High Frequency Oscillation
In this mode, the ventilator shall deliver continuous
high frequency oscillation. There is no patient
interaction.
• The User sets the following:-
• HFO rate
• HFO I:E ratio
• Mean pressure
• Pressure amplitude (Delta P)
• O

%
• High and low alarm pressure thresholds
• Tidal volume, high and low alarm thresholds
• Minute volume high and low alarm thresholds
3.8 HFO+CMV (SLE5000 only)
A combination of oscillations during the expiratory
or inspiratory & expiratory phase of a time cycled,
pressure limited breath in CMV mode.
The User sets the following:-
• BPM
• Inspiratory Time (Ti)
• Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP)
• Positive End Expired Pressure (PEEP)
• HFO rate
• HFO activity (oscillations in inspiratory and
expiratory phases or expiratory phase only)
• Pressure amplitude (Delta P)
• O
