ADDE NDUM  Respiratory Mechanics option Introduction The Respiratory Mechanics (RM) option for the 840™ ventilator provides respiratory maneuvers, including Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF), Occlusion Pressure (P0.1) and Vital Capacity (VC), as well as automatic calculations of lung function and performance, such as Dynamic Compliance and Resistance, Peak Expiratory Flow, End Expiratory Flow, and Peak Spontaneous Flow.  Intended Use Respiratory Mechanics information allows clinicians to assess lung health and performance, and helps to determine if the patient is ready to be weaned from the ventilator.  Overview - Respiratory Mechanics Maneuvers RM maneuvers can be performed in all breathing modes except BiLevel™, and are not available during the following conditions: •  Apnea ventilation  •  Safety PCV  •  Occlusion Status Cycling (OSC)  •  Non-invasive ventilation (NIV)  •  When the circuit type is Neonatal  •  When any other RM maneuver has already taken place during the same breath  The GUI also displays any RM request, distinguishing between requests that are accepted or rejected, and any RM maneuver that has begun, ended, or has been canceled. When an RM maneuver is selected, a GUI information panel is opened, displaying the maneuver name, user prompts and controls, and recent calculated results.  10015769 Rev.
