Rise Time
* Dynamic pressure accuracy is measured at the patient end of the circuit with a Whisper
Swivel II and varying flow conditions.
** Rise time settings are adjustable by the patient and the provider from 0 (off) to 3. Rise time
varies from 150 msec to 400msec dependent on patient setting and the pressure differential
from IPAP to EPAP. The rise time settings of "off" and "1" are functional only when the
pressure change between IPAP and EPAP is ≤ 8 cm H
there is little difference between settings. The rise time setting should be adjusted according to
the patient comfort level.
*** Measured at the patient end of the circuit with a Whisper Swivel II exhalation device and no
patient flow.
