Ventec One-Circuit Setup
V*Home was designed for use with Passive, Valveless, or Mouthpiece Ventec One-Circuits. Use of third-party patient
circuits is considered off-label. Assemble Ventec One-Circuits and Ventec One-Circuit accessories using the procedures
and sequences depicted in this manual.
NOTE: See “Mouthpiece Patient Circuit Setup” on page 30 for detailed setup instructions for that circuit type.
Ventec Life Systems offers single-patient use adult and pediatric Ventec One-Circuits for use with V*Home, which
incorporate an optional passive exhalation valve, and an optional heated wire (for connection to a humidier). See
“Accessories” on page 204 for a list of Ventec One-Circuits available from Ventec Life Systems.
Each time the Ventec One-Circuit or its conguration is changed, or the Circuit Type control is modied, run a Pre-Use
Test before initiating therapy. The Pre-Use Test will calculate the resistance, and leak of the Ventec One-Circuit to ensure
Ventilation therapy is delivered accurately.
WARNING: Adding unauthorized attachments, components, or sub-assemblies to the Ventec One-Circuit can change
the pressure gradient of the Ventec One-Circuit and adversely affect the performance of V*Home.
WARNING: Ventec One-Circuit accessories (including but not limited to lters, nebulizers, and humidiers) may
increase the resistance of the Ventec One-Circuit and affect the accuracy of delivered Ventilation therapy. Inspect all
patient circuit lters frequently for signs of increased resistance or blockages, and ensure alarms are set appropriately
to verify the accuracy of delivered Ventilation therapy.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use anti-static or electrically conductive patient circuits or hoses
with the V*Home system. Only Ventec One-Circuits are approved for use with V*Home.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety, check the Ventec One-Circuit and verify that all system settings and Presets are
appropriate before providing therapy, and on a routine basis during therapy.
WARNING: Any components added to the breathing circuit between the Ventec One-Circuit exhalation valve and the
patient will increase the amount of gas that the patient rebreathes with each breath. The addition of components into
the breathing circuit should be considered carefully, especially for small pediatrics.
NOTE: When providing non‑invasive ventilation, use CO2 monitoring equipment compliant with ISO 80601‑2‑55 to
ensure patient safety.
Ventec One-Circuits may be connected to a humidier and/or other patient circuit components as needed. See
“Connecting Ventec One-Circuit Components” on page 27 for detailed instructions.
