Starting V*Home Therapies
Although patients may be intended V*Home operators for some functions, patients should not congure or initiate
Ventilation or Oxygen therapy without supervision. Once congured by a clinician, some patients may be able to safely
switch between Ventilation therapy Presets.
It is of vital importance that a caregiver or other supervisor capable of responding to any V*Home alarms be present
during V*Home therapy. The V*Home clinician or caregiver must be capable of responding to alarm conditions, and
trained to use V*Home. A list of available V*Home training options is available at VentecLife.com.
To ensure the delivered therapy is adequate, monitor the patient each time V*Home is started, control settings are
modied, an accessory is attached, or the Ventec One-Circuit is recongured. The operator of V*Home should be within
range of the audible V*Home alarm tones. Place V*Home so that any monitors critical to patient care are visible.
WARNING: Do not use V*Home with helium (including mixtures with helium), nitric oxide, or in a hyperbaric chamber.
V*Home has not been validated for safe use with helium, nitric oxide, or for use in a hyperbaric chamber.
NOTE: If V*Home performs unexpectedly, prepare an alternate means of ventilation, monitor the patient, and contact
your local Ventec Life Systems representative for service.
