Assist/Control-Volume Mode
Assist/Control-Volume works one way with passive and valveless circuits, and differently when V*Home is connected to
and congured to use a mouthpiece Ventec One-Circuit.
Assist/Control-Volume with a Passive, or Valveless Ventec One-Circuit
When used with a passive, or valveless Ventec One-Circuit, Assist/Control-Volume mode provides mandatory and/or
assist volume breaths. Patient effort will trigger an assist volume breath. If no patient effort is detected within a breath
period, V*Home will provide a mandatory volume breath.
Both mandatory and assist breaths deliver the set Tidal Volume over the set Inspiratory Time. When a breath cycles, the
pressure of the Ventec One-Circuit drops to the set PEEP.
Assist/Control-Volume with a Mouthpiece Patient Circuit
When used with a mouthpiece patient circuit, Assist/Control-Volume mode provides assist volume breaths when patient
effort is detected.
Assist breaths deliver the set Tidal Volume over the set Inspiratory Time. When a breath cycles, the pressure of the
patient circuit drops to zero.
