Triggering

The device can be set to trigger breaths using the Auto-Trak or Flow
Trigger sensitivity features.
Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity
An important characteristic of the device is its ability to recognize
and compensate for unintentional leaks in the system and to
automatically adjust its trigger and cycle algorithms to maintain
optimum performance in the presence of leaks. This feature is known
as Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity.
Flow Trigger
Flow Trigger Sensitivity (Expiration to Inspiration):
The Flow Trigger initiates when the patient's inspiratory effort creates
a flow equal to or greater than the flow sensitivity setting.
Flow Cycle Sensitivity (Inspiration to Expiration):
This cycling method is only active if the Flow Trigger has been
selected for the Trigger Type. As flow begins to decrease during
inspiration, if the patient flow is less than the flow cycle setpoint, the
device will cycle to expiration.

BTPS Compensation

All flows and volumes used in Trilogy are expressed in BTPS - Body
Temperature atmospheric Pressure Saturated with H
All pressures are expressed relative to atmospheric pressure.
