General description

The Respironics V60/V60 Plus Ventilator (Figure 3-1) is a microprocessor-
controlled, bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilatory assist system
that provides noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and invasive
ventilatory support for spontaneously breathing adult and pediatric patients.

Ventilation modes. The ventilator offers a range of conventional pressure
modes, CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), PCV (pressure-controlled
ventilation), and S/T (spontaneous/timed). The volume-targeted AVAPS
(average volume-assured pressure support) mode combines the attributes of
pressure-controlled and volume-targeted ventilation. The optional PPV mode
provides pressure ventilation in proportion to the patient's efforts.
Modes, therapies and features. Table 3-1 shows which modes, therapies and
features are included or optional for the V60 and V60 Plus models.

available for 3.00 software and above, as well as for the V60 Plus.
Auto-Trak Sensitivity allows the ventilator to automatically compensate for
intentional and unintentional leaks by maintaining a stable baseline and
adjusting trigger and cycle thresholds for optimum patient-to-ventilator
synchrony. The optional Auto-Trak+ feature lets you further adjust the level of
Auto-Trak Sensitivity.
User interface. The ventilator's 12.1-inch (31-cm) color touchscreen, Accept
button, navigation ring (legacy versions only), and key panel let you easily
access ventilator settings and monitored parameters.
