5.5.4 Breath Rate
The Breath Rate setting defines the minimum number of breaths the ventilator will
deliver as long as no inspiratory trigger effort from the patient is detected. The cycles
will be ventilator-initiated breaths.
The combination of the Breath Rate and Inspiratory Time setting is limited by the I:E
ratio range 1:9.9 to 2:1.

5.5.5 Backup Rate
The Backup Rate setting defines the minimum number of breaths the ventilator will
deliver as long as no inspiratory trigger effort from the patient is detected. The cycles
will be ventilator-initiated breaths.
The combination of the Backup Rate and Inspiratory Time setting is limited by the I:E
ratio range 1:9.9 to 2:1.
