Uh huh. On this note, I think I'll give up and go to bed.
I had put the phrase into a translator and came up with the same thing. Still couldn't understand the point so I gave up trying.

•PAV * /T (Proportional Assist Ventilation/Timed mode) helps to promote improved patient comfort and enhanced patient/ventilator synchrony through independent adjustment of Volume and Flow assist based on the patients disease state.

* Not available for sale in the US
Ah...thanks ozij. Sorry it had to be "dumbed down" for me, but now I get it. It's a mode of operation obviously NOT available on the Trilogy. Got it.

It probably has to do with how litigious we are in the US as compared with Europe.

I'll have you know that I sued the last guy who called me litigious.

Mayhaps we should call up Respironics and simply ask "Whatz up with PAV?"

Could be that they can't put it in their machines:
