Oxygen Therapy Setup
Oxygen therapy can be delivered to the patient using a connected external source of low-pressure oxygen to ow
oxygen up to 25 L/min through V*Home and into the Ventec One-Circuit, via the low-pressure oxygen port.
NOTE: Do not bypass the oxygen ports in the back of V*Home to bleed oxygen directly into the Ventec One‑Circuit
from an external oxygen source. Any source of external oxygen used with V*Home should be connected to the
appropriate port on the back of the device. Bleeding oxygen into the Ventec One‑Circuit can adversely affect the
efcacy of delivered therapy.
WARNING: If the patient’s prescribing healthcare professional determines Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care,
provide continuous monitoring, such as pulse oximetry or proximal FiO2 monitoring.
Setting Up External Oxygen Sources
V*Home can be used with an external source of low-pressure. To ensure safe use of external oxygen sources, rst verify
the following:
• V*Home is not near open ame, ignited cigarettes, or ammable gases.
• V*Home is not connected to an unregulated oxygen source.
• External oxygen sources are connected to the proper port on the back of V*Home, not directly to the Ventec
One-Circuit, and if possible, are turned off when not in use.
• The oxygen source meets the pressure or ow specication requirements described in “Inputs and Outputs”
on page 153.
