1.1 How To Use This Manual
You must read this manual before you use the iVent
201
. In
particular, the first several sections are critical for an
understanding of the iVent. This manual is primarily
organized according to the available screens, menus, options
and settings and begins with a look at the hardware, including
power considerations and patient circuit setup.
Study them with the iVent close at hand, along with a patient
circuit (preferably with a test lung and Rp20 resistor). Become
comfortable with the control knob and the front panel buttons.
The user interface consists of three primary screens/menus:
• The Main Screen
• The Main Menu
• The Mode Menu
Just about every function or operation of the iVent is accessible
through one of these screens. Be aware of the notes, warnings,
and cautions, generally marked in bold print.
⇒ Useful user tips are in bold and set off with an arrow.
Refer to the index if you need information. Table 1.1 may also
be used as a general guide.
If you are not familiar with Adaptive Bi-Level feature, read
Section 0 5 (page 179).
