Connecting an External Bacterial Filter
Connect an external bacterial lter to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Attach a bacterial lter to the Ventec One-
Circuit connection port before connecting a Ventec One-Circuit.
Fit the bacterial lter against V*Home, aligning the icons on the lter and V*Home, then twist the lter to lock it into place.
V*Home contains a secondary, internal bacterial lter to help protect against cross-contamination in case of external
bacterial lter failure. The internal bacterial lter should be replaced whenever it may have become cross-contaminated,
such as when the external bacterial lter becomes compromised, or if an infectious disease specialist recommends its
replacement. See “Replacing the Internal Bacterial Filter” on page 130 for instructions.
Connecting a Passive Ventec One-Circuit with HME
When not using a humidier as part of the Ventec One-Circuit conguration, connect the circuit to the bacterial lter.
Connect an HME to the Ventec One-Circuit to provide the patient with humidication, following the instructions in
“Connecting an HME (Heat-Moisture Exchanger)” on page 27.
