The gas inlet on the back of the ventilator connects to a 50-psig source and is used to inject 12 mL/min of gas through the pressure line to prevent obstructions within the line and to prevent water from entering the differential pressure transducer.By pressing and holding the "CONT V" button on the touch pad,the clinician enables real-time flow through the infant sensor to be displayed.The clinician can use the baseline leak or the flow displayed between breaths to determine the best trigger sensitivity setting and to prevent auto-triggering.This device uses a variable-orifice differential pressure transducer.
