Specications listed are based on using a standard circuit consisting of 1.8 meter tubing- REF 622038, one of the following exhalation
devices: Whisper Swivel II - REF 332113; Active PAP Exhalation Device - REF 1053716; Active Flow Exhalation Device - REF 1049503 or
Active Exhalation Device – REF 1065658; UPB Active PAP Exhalation Device - REF 1073862 and
Trilogy Proximal Flow Sensor- REF 1050408 (if required).

2
O when using the Bi-Flex feature in S mode.
2
Pressure units may be cm H
2
O, hPa, or mBar depending on device setup.
3
The dierence between the Inspiratory Pressure and the Expiratory Pressure must never be more than 30 cm H
2
O.
4

O.
5
All ows and volumes are measured at BTPS conditions.
6
The range of values correspond to tenths of seconds (e.g., a setting of 4 indicates a Rise Time of 0.4 seconds).
7
Flex is not available when AVAPS is active. Flex is not available with Active Circuits.
