Chapter 7. Operating Theory
Introduction
This chapter describes the ventilator’s breath delivery capabilities. It includes 
a system overview and descriptions of the ventilation modes and available 
breath types. For descriptions of button settings and general operating 
instructions, refer to Chapter 8, “Operating Instructions”.
System Overview
The ventilator is a microprocessor-controlled ventilator capable of delivering a 
mixture of air and oxygen to a patient’s lungs in a predetermined manner to 
augment or replace the work normally performed by the patient’s respiratory 
system. The ventilator performs breath delivery via two different patient 
interfaces:
endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube (invasive ventilation)
face mask, nasal mask, nasal pillows, or mouthpiece with a seal (non-
invasive ventilation)
Ventilator Breath 
Types
The ventilator provides the following ventilation breath types:
Volume Control Ventilation (VCV) – invasive ventilation
Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV) – invasive ventilation
Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) – non-invasive 
ventilation
During mechanical ventilation, the operator selects one of the ventilation 
modes. The selected ventilation breath type, along with the selected mode, the 
patient breathing effort, and the ventilator settings determine the type of 
breath delivered. Each ventilation breath type has its own settings, alarms, and 
monitor screens. (Refer to Chapter 8, “Operating Instructions”.)
Volume Control Ventilation (VCV)
In Volume Control Ventilation, breaths may be controlled by the ventilator 
(mandatory) or triggered by the patient (spontaneous). When controlled by the 
ventilator, breaths will be flow controlled and time cycled, thus delivering an 
operator (TIDAL VOLUME) set volume. In Volume Control Ventilation, the flow 
pattern can be selected between square and descending ramp waveforms.
