Step 9. If required, set the minute volume alarms. The alarm thresholds are found by
selecting the minute volume graph . Once set the user can revert to the
default waveform display.
Note: The user cannot set the high and low minute volume alarms when the
flow sensor is not connected.
Step 10. If TTV (volume targeting) of the triggered and mechanical breaths is required,
turn on the function and set the Max PIP and the Tidal Vol (Targeted Tidal
Volume). The user may have to adjust the Low Tidal volume alarm threshold.
Note: When TTV is discontinued the Max PIP returns to 5mbar above the set
PEEP.
