1. Introduction
1.1 About This Manual
This user manual details the operation of the SLE4000 and SLE5000 infant ventilators. The
difference between an SLE4000 and SLE5000 ventilator is that the SLE5000 has two extra
modes of operation, these being HFO and HFO+CMV.
The user manual will from this point onwards refer to the SLE4000 and SLE5000 as
“the ventilator”.
Where the user manual details an operation or mode: specifically HFO or HFO+CMV then a
statement will appear stating, “SLE5000 only”.
The SLE4000 and SLE5000 model A infant ventilators are identical except for the following,
A. Overlays. (SLE5000 overlays are blue, SLE4000 overlays are green).
B. Installed software. (Start up screens and Mode select panels.)
Note: HFO and HFO+CMV modes are not available on the SLE4000 infant
ventilator.
Note: All the graphics within this manual have been produced with the N6647
test lung and are not representaive of actual clinical data.
