Vol. Targeted-PC Mode
Vol. Targeted-PC with a Passive or Valveless Ventec One-Circuit
When used with a passive or valveless Ventec One-Circuit, Vol. Targeted-PC mode provides mandatory and assist
pressure breaths, depending on the timing of detected patient effort. Patient effort will trigger an assist pressure breath.
If no patient effort is detected within a breath period, V*Home will provide a mandatory pressure breath.
Both mandatory and assist breaths are delivered and adjusted on a breath-to-breath basis to achieve and maintain the
target Tidal Volume. When a breath cycles, the pressure of the Ventec One-Circuit drops to the set PEEP.
Assist/Control-Pressure with a Mouthpiece Patient Circuit
When used with a mouthpiece patient circuit, Vol. Targeted-PC mode provides assist pressure breaths when patient
effort is detected.
Assist breaths are delivered and adjusted on a breath-to-breath basis to achieve and maintain the target Tidal Volume
over the set Inspiratory Time. When a breath cycles, the pressure of the mouthpiece patient circuit drops to zero
(ambient).
