28. Technical Specification
This section summarizes the specification of the ventilator in terms of the modes,
ranges and limits that are required on the controls and the displays. It also
summarizes the mechanical and electrical power constraints.
28.1 Operating Modes Conventional Ventilation
28.1.1 CPAP
Inspiratory Time: 0.1 to 3.0 seconds, steps of 0.01 seconds
CPAP Pressure: 0 mbar to 20 mbar
Inspiratory Pressure: 0 mbar to 65 mbar
Volume Targeting: 2 ml to 200 ml
FiO
