Ampere (current intensity measurement unit)
A message which appears together with an alarm indication; this
consists of a basic message indicating the type of alarm.
Key that stops the acoustic alarm signal for a software value preset
by the last pressing of the key.
Pressure controlled ventilation: type of controlled ventilation during
which the ventilator delivers an inspiratory pressure set by the user
for an inspiratory time also set by the user.
End of ventilation. The ventilation system indicates apnoea and starts
the corresponding ventilation when the interval between the two
respiratory cycles exceeds the set apnoea time.
This occurs when an alarm is disabled, i.e. when the alarm conditions
are no longer present, without pressing the alarm reset key.
ALARM RESET
Constant flow (depending on the sensitivity value set in the "trigger
value" parameter) circulating in the patient circuit with respect to
which the ventilator measures the Flow Trigger value.
A certificate of origin issued by the European Economic Community
indicating that the equipment conforms to the
Medical Device Directive (MDD), 93/42/EEC.
An alarm that can indicate an abnormal physiological condition
Centimetre (unit of length).
Centimetres of water (unit of pressure = 0.98068 mbar = 1 hPa).
This term defines the variation in volume of the respiratory tract
determined by a variation in pressure; it is measured in ml/cmH
It provides an indication of the elastic properties of the respiratory
system and its components (Inspiratory Tidal Volume / Pause
Pressure).
The Compressor (optional) provides the system with compressed air
and can be used instead of the mains or cylinder supply of
compressed air.
Central processing unit
Diameter Index Safety Standard: a standard for high pressure gas
input connectors.
