Note: The IPAP and EPAP controls are electrically coupled. The unit will not
deliver a higher EPAP than IPAP level. If the EPAP control is set higher
than the IPAP control, the BiPAP unit will be locked to the IPAP
setting and the IPAP LED will remain lit. This is active throughout the
S, S/T, and T settings on the Function Selector Knob.
Description of Controls
BPM Control
Breaths Per Minute: Active when the Function Selector Knob is positioned in
either the S/T or the T mode. Range = 4 - 30 BPM.
S/T Mode—The BPM control sets a time interval for delivery of a breath by the
BiPAP S/T System. If the patient initiates a spontaneous breath, the BPM timer
is reset. If the patient does not initiate a spontaneous IPAP trigger within the
interval set by the BPM control, the BiPAP unit will initiate a timer triggered
breath. The BPM timer is reset with each transition from EPAP to IPAP
whether the transition was triggered by the patient or by the BPM control
setting. The adjacent LED will illuminate, indicating timer-initiated IPAP
transitions.
T Mode—All triggering from EPAP to IPAP is controlled by the BPM timer.
The BPM LED is not active. The % IPAP control must also be set.
