V*Home Placement
Place V*Home in a well-ventilated area, ensuring air ows freely around its inlets and vents.
WARNING: Incorrect placement of V*Home may affect device performance. Do not cover V*Home, place it in an area
in which the vents may become obstructed (such as on its back or on top of compliant bedding), or use it in hazardous
environments (such as atmospheres containing pollutants).
NOTE: V*Home emits heat and gas, including nitrogen, during normal operation. Use V*Home in a well‑ventilated area.
When used in a home environment, V*Home should be kept away from concentrations of lint, dust, pet dander, and pests.
Small particles and/or pests can clog V*Home lters over time and become lodged inside V*Home. Clean the air and fan
lters regularly to prevent clogging, and move V*Home to a new location if large volumes of particulate are pulled into
the lters. Place V*Home somewhere it will not be easily accessible by children or pets, such as on a roll stand.
WARNING: Keep V*Home out of reach of children to avoid the risk of strangulation by cords and tubes, as well as the
risk of inhalation or swallowing of small parts. V*Home includes a hook-and-loop strap to wrap power adapter cabling
when not in use.
Over time, direct sunlight may compromise the integrity of V*Home plastic housing or the Ventec One-Circuit. Place
V*Home in a location that is not exposed to extended periods of direct sunlight.
WARNING: Use of V*Home outside its recommended range of temperature, altitude, and/or relative humidity may
adversely affect the ventilation ow rate and oxygen concentration from V*Home, and may result in patient harm. See
“Environmental” on page 153 for details.
WARNING: Do not use V*Home in contaminated, hazardous, or explosive environments. Use of V*Home can be
hazardous in these conditions.
WARNING: To protect against EMI (electromagnetic interference) affecting device performance:
• Do not use V*Home within electromagnetic elds exceeding the limits specied in “EMC Information” on page
167. Common sources of electromagnetic elds include security systems, wireless communications equipment,
appliances, and medical imaging systems.
• Do not stack V*Home with other electrical devices during use.
• Do not connect V*Home to unauthorized cables or accessories. Use of cables or other accessories not approved for
use with V*Home may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decrease its immunity from other sources of
EMI.
WARNING: Accidental button presses could result in inadvertent alteration of the V*Home conguration or its
operation. To reduce the possibility of accidental button presses, do not place in areas that might result in inadvertent
touching of the V*Home touchscreen or its buttons. Use the touchscreen lock feature during cleaning or transport.
