Replacing Ventec One-Circuit Components
Follow your healthcare institution’s protocol for cleaning and replacement of Ventec One-Circuit components, as well as
any instructions and recommendations for replacement provided by Ventec One-Circuit accessory manufacturers. Inspect
all accessories including your humidier or HME, nebulizer, external bacterial lter, and any other accessories for signs of
damage. Discontinue use and replace any damaged Ventec One-Circuit accessories immediately.
NOTE: Ventec Life Systems recommends running a Pre‑Use Test each time the Ventec One‑Circuit conguration is
modied. See “Running the Pre-Use Test” on page 34 for instructions.
Replacing the External Bacterial Filter
The external bacterial lter is intended for single-patient use. Replace the external bacterial lter between patient uses,
whenever it becomes soiled or damaged, or every 30 days (at a minimum). Follow your healthcare institution’s protocol
for replacement criteria.
