8.2.1.1
Starting a new case
● Touch the button for the desired patient category (1).
For new patients, the device uses defined start settings for ventilation settings and
alarm limits, see page 203.
Whether the ventilation settings are based on Ti or the I:E ratio can be defined in
the start settings, see page 214.
The set value for Ti is automatically set based on RR to result in the I:E ratio set in
the start settings, see page 211.
8.2.1.2
Continuing a case after an interruption
● Touch the Continue case button (2).
The device continues to use the ventilation settings and alarm limits that were set at
the start of the case.
This function is only available if a case has previously been started and then
interrupted.
8.2.2
Checking the patient data
WARNING
Risk due to incorrect settings
Different standard alarm limits or therapy settings might be configured for medical
devices within the same area. The user must observe the following:
► Make sure that the set values and alarm limits are selected to suit the patient.
► Make sure that the alarm limits are set to suitable values for the patient's current
condition. Otherwise the alarm system may not indicate a change in the patient's
condition, which might put the patient at risk.
► Check the therapy settings, the start settings for alarms, and the alarm settings
during a change of ventilation mode.
► Only turn off alarms if the safety of the patient will not be compromised as a
result.
CAUTION
Risk due to incorrect setting for patient age
Incorrectly setting the patient age can lead to incorrect xMAC values and thus to
incorrect anesthetic agent delivery.
► Always set the patient age correctly.
● Adjust the patient data (1).
The device will suggest appropriate therapy settings for these data, e.g., for tidal
volume, respiratory rate, and alarm limits. For more information, see page 325.
