Introduction
VentecLife.com 11
Leak+ Performance
The Leak+ feature allows V Home to deliver High Flow ventilation, as well as provide compensation for leaks up to
175 L/min at 20 cmH2O. The improved Leak Compensation may be particularly useful during non-invasive ventilation.
Leak+ is available on devices with compatible hardware running software version 4.06R and newer.
To see if your V*Home is capable of Leak+ performance, install the latest software and check for the
“V” icon with a white background in the status bar. The availability of this feature can also be found on
the My VOCSN screen next to “Leak+.”
For more information about leak compensation, see “Leak Compensation” on page 173.
WARNING: Delivered and monitored ventilation therapy may be affected by large leaks around the patient interface.
Ventilation
V*Home provides invasive or non-invasive ventilation. Using one of six ventilation modes, and a passive, valveless, or
mouthpiece Ventec One-Circuit, V*Home delivers congurable pressure, volume, and/or spontaneous breaths.
The congurable Flow Trigger control, in combination with the powerful integrated Leak Compensation feature, allows
V*Home to perform well for both invasive and non-invasive applications, even with signicant leaks in the patient circuit.
V*Home devices with the Leak+ feature can compensate for leaks up to 175 L/min at 20 cmH2O. Ventilation controls
such as Rise Time and Pressure Control Flow Termination can be adjusted to improve patient comfort.
The Ventilation therapy Presets feature allows clinicians to set up, label, and store up to three unique Ventilation therapy
congurations. Using the touchscreen, clinicians, home caregivers, and patients can switch between these three pre-
congured therapies as needed. For example, some patients may benet from one ventilation Preset while awake,
another Preset while active, and a third Preset during sleep.
The Permissions feature allows clinicians to lock V*Home control settings. V*Home controls can be set to User and
Clinician, or Clinician Only. Controls set to Clinician Only cannot be modied until the Clinician Access Passcode is
entered. Controls set to User and Clinician will remain adjustable at all times.
Oxygen can be owed into the Ventec One-Circuit through the low-pressure oxygen port.
Portability
V*Home is designed to support the transport of mechanically ventilated patients. V*Home includes two removable,
rechargeable batteries and an internal rechargeable battery, used to power the device when no external source of
continuous power is available.
Using the power supply, V*Home can be connected to a wall outlet or other AC power source. Ventec Life Systems
also offers an optional 24 Volt Wheelchair Power Cable, which can be used to power V*Home from wheelchair outlets.
V*Home batteries charge whenever an external power source is applied.
