This mode is equipped with an adjustable therapy
control Timer, depending on the patient category.
When the set time has elapsed, this emits an
alarm as reminder that ventilation should be
resumed. There is no automatic resumption of
ventilation. Setting the therapy control Timer to
"Off" deactivates the alarm. The total elapsed time

Use this operating mode for regional anesthesia or
short pauses in therapy, such as disconnection or
