Syncplus - Dräger Carina Instructions For Use Manual

Principles of operation
®

SyncPlus

SyncPlus is an automatic function for support of
non-invasive ventilation.
SyncPlus is based on 3 main functions:
– Multi-sense trigger
– Automatic leakage compensation
– Cycle learning technology
Multi-sense trigger
Carina uses 3 trigger criteria during inspiration and
expiration to detect the breathing effort of the pa-
tient:
– Pressure
– Flow
– Flow gradient (flow change rate)
This increases the trigger sensitivity.
Automatic leakage compensation (breathing
circuit with leakage valve)
The device measures the leakage from the leakage
valve and also the degree of leakage in the breath-
ing system. Then the device defines a new base for
trigger detection based on the degree of leakage.
This improves the trigger detection of the patient
and optimizes ventilation. If a defined leakage is ex-
ceeded, the Large leakage ! alarm is output.
Cycle learning technology
Carina "learns" the average spontaneous breathing
cycle of the patient. This allows the time of sponta-
neous breathing of the patient to be determined
more easily. Then the device sets the maximum
trigger sensitivity for the previously determined
breathing component. This function enables high
sensitivity and prevents incorrect triggering.
The trigger criteria of the leakage situation are ad-
justed during ventilation.
