Vsync and TiControl: 
Closely capturing the dynamic nature of leak, Vsync technology accurately compensates for fast-changing and unstable leak, delivering the right flow at the right time, so that patient-device synchrony is maintained.
� When Vsync detects a sudden and large change in the leak flow, the usual 10 second window in which it scans for leak, is rapidly reduced towards a 2 second window. This allows for rapid resynchronization with the patient — usually within two to three breaths, depending on the size of the leak.
� Once resynchronization has occurred, the window period is quickly moved back to its default 10 second value.
� Without Vsync, the outcome would be different. The increased flow from a leak can be misinterpreted as patient inhalation, causing the ventilator to mistrigger from EPAP to IPAP, out of sync with the patient’s actual effort. It can also diminish the ventilator’s ability to cycle the breath.
� Vsync works closely with the tiControl feature to further maintain synchronization, even during instances of large leak.
� TiControl allows you to manage your patient’s inspiratory time limit according to their disease state. For challenging respiratory conditions, TiControl allows you to manage spontaneous flow, letting you set your patient’s ideal levels.
� With its Ti Min and Max settings, you can be rest assured that TiControl safeguards your patient so that they’re breathing at exactly the right pace.
� Even if your patient’s cycle of breath becomes spontaneous and out of its registered inspiration phase, the device will respond, providing timely intervention.
� Together, Vsync and TiControl offer extra assurance and control over your patient’s inspiratory time, promoting reliable device-controlled synchrony.

Additional Key Features of the Astral 150 Adult and Pediatric Ventilator: 
� Convenience in Motion. Astral’s mobility bag features a transparent panel that makes the screen fully visible and accessible, and includes straps to wear over the shoulder or mount onto wheelchairs.
� Discreet Performance. The ventilator is extremely quiet, at just 35 dBA, making life more peaceful for you and others.
� Ease of Use. Astral is designed with an Intuitive interface, user-friendly menus and easy operation, helping make ventilation support straightforward and efficient.
� Suitable for pediatric use. Because a child’s ventilation needs are different, Resmed has designed a whole system for pediatric care: Astral with the Pixi Pediatric Mask (designed especially for children).
