Mouthpiece Patient Circuit Setup
Mouthpiece patient circuits are recommended for use with patients who can place their mouths on the circuit to initiate
breaths on their own.
WARNING: Using a mouthpiece for Ventilation is not recommended for patients <5 years of age, due to the
requirements for physiological and neurological development, as well as neuromuscular coordination necessary for the
application of effective therapy.
Setting the Circuit Type control to Mouthpiece will limit the available ventilation modes and controls to those that are
suitable for use with this type of patient circuit. See “Setting V*Home Controls for Mouthpiece Ventilation” on page 71
for additional information.
To connect a mouthpiece patient circuit to V*Home, begin by connecting an external bacterial lter. Connect the
Mouthpiece Circuit Kit components in the order depicted below.
