Table 10.4: Implicit Parameter Limits - ResMed Elisee 150 Clinical Manual

Implicit (calculated) parameters
Some parameters are adjustable, while others are calculated from the adjustable parameters. The
latter are implicit parameters (e.g. Ti and F are adjustable parameters; the implicit setting
Te = 60/F – Ti).
The adjustable parameters are: Max flow ( max), Ti, Te and I/E.
Note: Ti, I/E and max can be either adjustable or implicit parameters depending on the original
configuration selected for the volumetric modes (parameter options). If a beep sounds while the
user is setting the parameters, it means the I/E ratio has been inverted because of an
adjustment to one of the parameters.

Total inspiratory pressure control
The threshold for total inspiratory pressure is: Pressure support + PEEP = 60cmH
PEEP = 60cmH
It is impossible to set a pressure higher than this value; even if a value higher than 60cmH
displayed, this limitation is always observed.
