A physiological vacuum can be generated by setting the target
vacuum to -5 mbar:
The automatic warning messages as well as all measuring
functions and the hose rinsing are retained. Thus the
physiological vacuum in the thorax is maintained while
preserving the digital security features.
The drainage system must be positioned at the same height
as the patient catheter.
