The following section describes the various functions and capabilities for

POWER UP AND WEIGHT SELECTION
If you have installed a patient circuit then you are ready to begin operating the

process completes (after approximately thirty seconds) you hear a beep and the
screen (Figure 28) asks you to select the patient’s body weight, which sets the
default ventilation parameters.
