sure range of 2.7 to 6 bar and at a flow rate of not
less than 70 l/min O
. It has a built-in power
2
pack.
The gas used for ventilation is highly compressed
medical oxygen, which is reduced to the required
operating pressure by a two-stage external pres-
sure reducer. The oxygen supply is fed in at input
valve
.

The continuously adjustable ventilation settings and
the inspiration/expiration ratio of1:1.67 are regu-
lated internally by electronic control processes.
The gas for inspiration flows along the hose and
through the patient valve and either the mask or the
tracheal tube into the patient's airways. The patient
valve is fitted with a lip membrane that enables ex-
pired gas to be conducted away through the expi-
ration tube.
