model Description Continuous positive airway pressure ventilation mode CPAP CPAP breathing mode has the same therapeutic pressure in the inspiratory and expiratory phases Spontaneous breathing mode S mode is the spontaneous breathing mode, and the working process is based on the patient's inspiratory trigger to provide inspiratory pressure IPAP, and expiratory trigger to provide respiratory pressure EPAP.
disappears, it switches to T mode and carries out ventilation treatment according to the preset breathing cycle. A/C-PC Increase the patient's airway pressure to the set pressure level according to the set pressure rise time during the inspiratory stage and maintain it until the end of the inspiratory time and then turn to exhalation.

For the rated maximum output power of the transmitter not listed in the above table, the recommended Separation distance d, in meters (m), can be determined by the formula in the corresponding transmitter frequency. Where, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W). Note 1: At 80MHz and 800MHz frequencies, the formula of the higher frequency band is used.
