A safety mechanism exists to prevent overlap of inflate/deflate settings.
Balloon Inflation and Deflation Controls (Operator Mode)
EXAMPLE 1: Inflation timing (I) is set at 50% of the R-R interval and deflation timing
(D) is set at 80%.
0% __________50% __________80% __________120%
(I)
EXAMPLE 2: If the patient's heart rate were to increase, necessitating a change in
inflation timing, the operator would depress the right arrow on the inflate control key.
0% ________________75% ____80% __________120%
(I)
3 In the APACER mode, the R-R interval displayed is delayed by 100ms from trigger point because of the relationship between the atrial pacing spike and the cardiac cycle.
