Function Description
Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (IPPV): General
A prerequisite for IPPV is that the patient is supplied with a sufficient amount of fresh
gas. The APL valve selector must be set to the "IPPV/SPONT" position.
If the APL valve selector is not set to the "IPPV/SPONT" position, the pressure in the
breathing system will increase.
The safety valve of the patient system limits the pressure to 80 hPa (mbar). The
desired pressure limit (Pmax) can be adjusted on the control box.
