Custom Modes
The CCV includes 3 custom modes which can be programmed by a
clinician for quick recall in frequently-encountered scenarios. For
information on using and altering these modes, see REVISING
PROGRAMMABLE MODES.
Seamless Transition Between Volume and Pressure Modes
If the clinician changes from a volume-regulated to a pressure-regulated
mode of ventilation, the CCV remembers key settings and seamlessly
transfers them to the new mode. This provides safety in the transition.
When moving from a pressure-regulated mode to a volume-regulated
mode, the prior settings for BPM and Inspiratory Time remain the same
and the Tidal Volume that has been measured for the last breath in a
pressure mode becomes the initial Tidal Volume for the new volume
mode. Likewise, when changing from a volume mode to a pressure
mode, the measured Peak Inspiratory Pressure from the most recent
breath in the volume mode will become the PIP setting for the first
breath in the pressure mode.
Automatic Apnea Mode
If apnea is detected, the ventilator will operate in Apnea Ventilation
Mode. The Apnea ventilation settings automatically default to:
Ventilation Mode = Pressure AC
Peak Inspiratory Pressure = 20 cmH
2
O
BPM = 10
Inspiratory Time = 2.00 seconds
PEEP = 3 cmH
2
O
The ventilator display will show the apnea settings. The ventilator will
revert to the previous settings if the Silence/Reset button is pushed
twice or if the patient initiates 2 consecutive spontaneous breaths. One
may exit Apnea Ventilation Mode and use other settings by changing
the mode in one of the following ways: pushing the Mode Selection
button twice, using the Mode Selection button to change the mode, or
selecting a stored Quick Start or Custom Mode.
When Apnea Ventilation Mode engages, Control Lock will automatically
come on. To change ventilation modes or settings, you must first
disable the lock.
Ventilation Settings by Mode
For each ventilation mode, some settings will be mandatory, some will
be optional, and some will not be settable. For example, in volume
modes, the PIP will not be controllable. Similarly, in pressure modes, the
