Ventilator Screens Front Panel Touch Display
The front panel display allows you to select ventilation modes, breath types,
settings, alarms, and access patient data. The front panel display is a touch
screen that lets you select settings and data so you can monitor the status of
the patient, ventilator, and control ventilator operation.
There are two different categories of screens:
• Ventilator Screens that appear when the machine is functioning as a
ventilator
• Diagnostic Screens that appear when the machine is not functioning
as a ventilator and is running internal tests
(Refer to Chapter 11, “Diagnostics”, for more information about displaying
ventilator diagnostic information.).
Common Ventilator Screen Components
Except for the patient data screen, screen configurations are determined by
the selected ventilation breath type. Figure 8-9 shows the elements that are
common to all ventilator (non-diagnostic) screens: the top bar, bottom bar, and
manometer.
