ASV question

Post by Bons » Thu Nov 11, 2010 7:32 am

I figured out how to check some of the settings on my machine, and discovered that my max and minimum flow volumes are both set at 0. This seems strange to me - shouldn't they be set at something? Or is this something I shouldn't be concerned about? Thanks. My manual is hiding at the moment.

I checked the provider manual and did not see max and min "flow volume". Do you mean PS min and PS max? That's Pressure Support min and Pressure Support max.

You may need to check the exact wording on the display. From that I can track down the definition.

Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I don't know, either, but maybe those are the default settings in AUTO mode.
