Standby - Respironics V60 User Manual

Operation

Standby

6-20
Standby lets you safely suspend ventilation to temporarily disconnect the
patient from the ventilator or to set up the ventilator before connecting the
patient. Alarms are disabled during standby.
You can also change ventilator settings and most menu functions during
standby. The settings changes are effective when you exit standby. Enter
standby as follows:
1. Select Standby. The Entering Standby window opens.
NOTE: Remove the mask/patient interface in order to enter standby. The
ventilator will not enter standby with a patient connected. If the
patient is not disconnected, the ventilator continues breath delivery
while waiting for the patient to be disconnected. The standby mode
request cancels in 60 seconds if the patient remains connected.
NOTE: Standby mode disables alarms and should be used when the patient
is disconnected.
