waveform window.
Step 7. The Cycle Fail Alarm threshold auto tracks
the PIP setting. The alarm threshold can be
adjusted if required. The threshold is found in the
pressure waveform window.

thresholds. These thresholds are found in the Tidal
Volume waveform window. (This waveform will not
appear when operating without a flow sensor).
The ventilator is now ready to be
connected to the patient under user
supervision. Prior to and after
connection it is the users
responsibility to adjust and monitor
the ventilation parameters to suit the
patients medical condition.
