2.5.2 Gas Inlet Valve
(GIV)
During normal operation the Gas Inlet Valve (GIV) is open to let supply gas flow
to the ventilator manifold. This valve provides a shutoff of the supply gas to the
ventilator when the ventilator is not in use. This valve also shuts off supply gas
to the ventilator under failure conditions detected by the CPU or over-pressure
switch. The output from the GIV stays at the filtered supply gas pressure 241 to
690 kPa (35 to 100 psi).
Pressure regulator
The pressure regulator is a non-relieving pressure regulator that regulates high
pressure filtered supply gas, oxygen or medical air, down to 172 kPa (25 psi).

2.5.3 Flow control valve
The flow control valve is controlled by the CPU. Signals are sent to the flow
control valve of the necessary flow determined by ventilator settings and
sensor signals. The flow control valve modulates the incoming 172 kPa (25
psi) drive gases to an output from 0 to 120 liters per minute at pressures
ranging from 0 to 100 cm H
