Connecting a Passive or Valveless Ventec One-Circuit
The Ventec One-Circuit comes with an optional passive exhalation valve, and an optional heated wire (for connection to
a humidier). The setup procedure will depend on the type of Ventec One-Circuit and the accessories used. To connect
a Ventec One-Circuit to V*Home:
1 Connect a bacterial lter. See “Connecting an External Bacterial Filter” on page 25.
2 Connecting the Ventec One-Circuit depends on whether you are using an HME or a humidier. Follow the
instruction below the corresponds to the Ventec One-Circuit conguration:
• To congure the Ventec One-Circuit with an HME instead of a humidier, see “Connecting an HME
(Heat-Moisture Exchanger)” on page 27.
• To congure the Ventec One-Circuit with a humidier, without connecting a Ventec Humidier Bypass,
see “Connecting a Ventec One-Circuit to a Humidier” on page 26.
3 To attach other components to the Ventec One-Circuit, such as a nebulizer, see “Connecting an External
Nebulizer Cup to the Patient Circuit” on page 28.
4 The diagram on the next page illustrates the Ventec One-Circuit and optional components in the correct
conguration. Consult “Ventec One-Circuit Component Connection Order” on page 24 to verify that
everything is connected in the correct order.
