Pressure Breaths
Mandatory and assist breaths are delivered as pressure breaths in pressure ventilation modes. V*Home delivers pressure
breaths by elevating the pressure of the Ventec One-Circuit to the set Pressure Control limit for the set Inspiratory Time.
NOTE: The maximum pressure delivered is limited to the High Pressure alarm setting minus 3 cmH2O.
V*Home will deliver ow during the set Inspiratory Time to reach and maintain the set Pressure Control limit. Adjusting
the Rise Time control will modify the rate of ow and rate of pressure elevation.
Pressure breaths cycle at the end of the set Inspiratory Time, or when ow drops to the set Flow Cycle percentage of
peak ow when PC Flow Termination is set to On.
