Weinmann VENTIlogic LS Instructions For Use Manual page 27

2.3.8 Softstart
The softstart function makes it easier to fall asleep or to become used to higher ventilation
pressures. The physician sets an initial pressure for inspiration and exhalation that gradually
rises to the therapy pressure during the softstart phase. This function must be activated by
the physician and is only available in CPAP mode.
2.3.9 Auto switch-on (only leakage ventilation)
The device has an automatic switch-on function. If this is activated, the device can be
switched on by taking a breath into the breathing mask. The device is still switched off
using the On/Off key
2.3.10 Uninterrupted power supply (UPS)
A built-in battery ensures an uninterrupted power supply in the event of a power outage.
The battery operating time will depend on the load and temperature range. Detailed
information on the different loads with the corresponding battery operating times are
provided in section 11. on page 101. The internal battery is automatically charged or
maintained in a charged state as long as the device is supplied with power.
2.3.11 Mobile power supply
An external mobile power supply via the VENTIpower battery is also possible; this is
available as an accessory.
2.3.12 LIAM (insufflation)
The Lung Insufflation Assist Maneuver function allows a higher volume to be administered
to the patient if the corresponding key is pressed; this supports coughing. This function has
to be enabled by the doctor supervising treatment.
2.3.13 Nurse call and remote alarm
The device has a remote alarm connection to support the monitoring of patient and device,
especially when VENTIlogic LS is used for life-support ventilation. All high and medium-
priority alarms, together with the No power supply alarm are passed to this connection.
All other alarms are displayed only on the device itself.
The remote alarm connection can be used to connect the device to the VENTIremote alarm
remote alarm case. In hospital, the device can be connected directly to the hospital's own
internal alarm system.
