User Interface

and how
the control knob is integrated with the screen and the operation
of the iVent

. Connect a test lung with an Rp20 resistor and
patient circuit. Switch on the unit, and proceed through the first
several parts of this section. Rotating the control knob at the
menu level allows for easy, automatic selection of ventilation
