Ramp
If enabled, the device is equipped with a linear ramp function. The
Ramp feature will reduce the pressure and then gradually increase
(ramp) the pressure to the prescription pressure setting so patients
can fall asleep more comfortably.
Rise Time
If enabled, the device provides a feature called Rise Time in S and
S/T modes. Rise time is the amount of time it takes the device to
change from the expiratory pressure setting to the inspiratory
pressure setting. Rise time levels of 1, 2, or 3 progressively reect
slowed response of the pressure increase that will take place at the
beginning of inspiration. A setting of 1 is the fastest rise time while
a setting of 3 is the slowest. Providers should adjust the rise time to
nd the most comfortable setting for the patient. Rise time cannot be
adjusted when Bi-Flex is enabled.
