6 Function of the Control Elements
The control elements comprise the potentiometers (rotary knobs) and the keys.
6.1 Potentiometers (Rotary Knobs)
6.1.1 Fraction of inspired O
2
(O
2
vol.%)
This potentiometer is used to set the fraction of inspired O
2
to a value between 21 vol.% and 100 vol.%.
The adjusted value becomes effective immediately.
6.1.2 Inspiratory time (T
I
)
This potentiometer is used to set the inspiratory time to a value between 0.1 s and 2 s. The adjusted value
becomes effective at the end of the current respiratory cycle.
6.1.3 Expiratory time (T
E
)
This potentiometer is used to set the expiratory time to a value between 0.2 s and 30 s. The adjusted
value becomes effective at the end of the current respiratory cycle.
6.1.4 Inspiratory flow (Insp. Flow)
This potentiometer is used to set the inspiratory flow to a value between 1 L/min and 30 L/min. The
adjusted value becomes effective immediately.
6.1.5 Inspiratory pressure limit (P
insp
)
This potentiometer is used to set the inspiratory pressure limit to a value between 10 mbar and 80 mbar.
A value above 40 mbar must be confirmed by pressing the Reset/Check key (or OK key as of software
version 5.n). A message is displayed. This pressure limit is also effective when a manual breath is
applied. The adjusted value becomes effective immediately.
6.1.6 PEEP/CPAP
This potentiometer is used to set the end-expiratory pressure for controlled ventilation or to set the
continuous positive airway pressure for spontaneous breathing to a value between 0 mbar and 15 mbar
(or 25 mbar as of software version 4.n). A value above 8 mbar must be confirmed by pressing the
Reset/Check key (or OK key as of software version 5.n). A message is displayed. The adjusted value
becomes effective immediately.
