VC/PC/PSV are all closed-loop modes of mechanical ventilation. For example, in pressure support, flow is maniupulatd to maintain a preselected pressure. Furthermore, how would a ventilator know what parameters/alarm limits if it was an "open system." I think the term you are looking for is "automated" closed-loop control.
