Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When the patient makes an inspiratory effort, the flow generator converts the kinetic energy of flow to pressure to stabilize pressure delivery at the patient interface. The unit uses flip-flop flu-idic logic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The CareFusion Infant Flow SiPAP Comprehensive System can provide only up to 2 hours of operating time if the alternating current power source is lost. The battery requires 16 hours to be-come fully charged from a discharged state.
