9 - 18 046-004667-00 A7™ Operating Instructions
9.11.4 Monitor Mode
The system supports Monitor mode when the A7 is configured with an external AG module.
When the system is in Monitor mode, the external AG module continues to function, while the
ventilation monitors and alarms of the A7 will be off.

General Ventilator Specifications
Ventilation Modes: • Manual ventilation mode with breathing bag
• Spontaneous ventilation in manual mode with APL fully
open
• Volume Control Ventilation (VCV) mode with PLV function
• Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV) mode with/without VG
ventilation mode
• Pressure Support (PS) ventilation mode
• Synchronous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)
mode with VCV ventilation mode
• Synchronous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)
mode with PCV ventilation mode
Patient Size: Adult, Pediatric, Infant
Fresh Gas Flow Compensation: Volume-compensated ventilation
Inspiratory Flow (Min/Max): The A7 does not allow combinations of ventilation
parameters (e.g., I: E, Vt and Freq.) to be set if the resultant
inspiratory flow is greater than 110 L/m maximum or less
than 2.4 L/min minimum.
Inspiratory Flow Range: 2.4 to 110 L/min
Low Flow Anesthesia: The accuracy of the tidal volume delivery shall be within the
specification at 0.2 to 1 LPM total fresh gas flow.
Trigger Window: PS and SIMV are adjustable flow triggers.
Inspiratory Trigger Level: 1 to 15 L/min
Plateau (End Insp.): Plateau pressure in VCV and SIMV-VC mode. Adjustable
from Off, 5 to 60 % of inspiratory period.
