GOSH- to –Home Long Term Ventilation Service
Mask safety check once ventilator is switched on.
All Long Term NIV masks have a carbon dioxide exhalation port
This must be checked once the ventilation pressure is started. The exhalation port must be clear and
not obstructed to ensure expulsion of CO2. This is checked by feeling for a pressure leak from
around the port.
Check there is no ramp feature set and if NIV is needed acutely this needs to be turned off.
Ramp feature is a comfort setting that allows the ventilator to start at small pressures and build up to
treatment pressure over a period of time. This may not be set on all ventilators.
The NIPPY- does not have a Ramp feature
The Stellar 100- Ramp can be turned off by scrolling the dial over the ramp bar on the front screen
(while there is no treatment pressure ), pressing the dial until the bar becomes yellow and scrolling
back to 0, press the dial again until the ramp bar goes blue to lock.
The Airsense 10- Using the scroll dial button navigate to the 'My Options' scroll right, press the top of
the scroll dial button and scroll down to 'off'
