Graphic Displays

Graphics Colors

Graphic displays on AVEA may appear as red, blue, yellow, green or purple tracings. These colors may provide useful
information to the operator about breath delivery and are consistent between both waveform and loop graphic
displays.
A RED tracing indicates the inspiratory portion of a mandatory breath. A YELLOW tracing indicates the inspiratory
portion of an assisted or spontaneous breath (patient assisted or spontaneous breaths are also denoted with a yellow
demand indicator that appears in the left hand corner of the mode indicator). BLUE tracings represent the expiratory
phase of a mandatory, assisted or spontaneous breath. A GREEN tracing during the expiratory phase of a single breath
indicates that a purge of the expiratory flow sensor or the wye flow sensor (if attached) has occurred. A PURPLE tracing
indicates safety state, which occurs when the safety valve is open.

Waveforms

Three waveforms can be selected and simultaneously displayed on the MAIN screen as shown in Figure 4–1.
Note:
Waveforms are circuit compliance compensated for pediatric and adult patient sizes.
