What to do if Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment will not power off?
If your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment will not power off, and the touchscreen is not responsive, press and hold the power button for more than 10 seconds.
What to do if the Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment shows a high pressure alarm?
Ensure the High Pressure alarm on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment is appropriately set for the patient's condition. Check for any blockages or obstructions in the circuit and patient airway, such as saturated filters, in-line suction catheters, or patient secretions. If the problem persists, replace the patient circuit.
What causes patient desaturation when using Ventec Life Systems VOCSN?
If you observe patient desaturation while using the Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, first ensure the O2 monitoring equipment is connected to the patient. Run a Pre-Use Test. Ensure the patient circuit O2 Tube is properly connected so that the rubber connector is flush against the O2 tube connection side of the device. Also, check that any external oxygen source is properly connected and not depleted. Note that it may take up to 1 hour for oxygen alarms to resolve after fixing an issue with the O2 tube connection.
What to do if apnea activates on Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment?
If the Apnea alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, ensure the Apnea alarm is set appropriately, considering the patient’s Breath Rate and spontaneous rate. Also, ensure the Flow Trigger control is set correctly. Check the patient triggered icon and waveforms to see if the patient is attempting to initiate breaths. If not, the alarm is working as intended. Check for issues with patient triggering, such as low drive due to medication, secretions, or excessive mask or cuff leak. For Active circuits, turn on Leak Compensation if needed. If the problem continues, replace the circuit.
Why does my Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment prompt a Pre-Use Test when switching Mouthpiece ventilation Presets?
Change the Circuit Type control from Mouthpiece to Passive on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment. If necessary, change the Humidification control from Humidifier to HME. Change the Circuit Type control back to Mouthpiece. Repeat the steps above for all Ventilation therapy Presets used to provide mouthpiece ventilation.
What to do for System Fault 3, high or low Vte monitors, and autocycling on Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment?
If you encounter System Fault 3, along with high or low Vte monitors and autocycling on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, and water from a humidifier is in the Active Ventec One-Circuit multilumen sense lines, replace the patient circuit.
How do I troubleshoot a low inspiratory pressure alarm on Ventec Life Systems VOCSN?
If the Low Inspiratory Pressure alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, ensure the alarm is set below the patient peak inspiratory pressure, considering changes in airway resistance and/or lung recruitment. Check the VOCSN Leak monitor and resolve any unintentional leaks in the patient circuit or around the patient interface. If the problem persists, replace the patient circuit.
What should I do if the low minute volume alarm activates on my Ventec Life Systems VOCSN Medical Equipment?
If the Low Minute Volume alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, ensure the alarm is set appropriately, considering changes in patient breathing habits at night. Check the VOCSN Leak monitor and resolve any unintentional leaks in the patient circuit and around the patient interface. If using a trach tube, ensure the cuff is properly inflated. During pressure-control ventilation, check the patient for reduced lung compliance or airway blockages.
Why does my Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment show a battery use alarm?
When the Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment is running on battery power, battery alarms are normal. Monitor the battery charge status and connect to an external power source when available. To clear the Battery Use alarm while using removable, rechargeable battery power, go to the Alarm Log and select “Clear List” twice. When using AC power, ensure there's a power connection symbol in the status bar. If present, the device is powered, and you can clear the alarm via the Alarm Log. If there's no power connection symbol: * If the green light on the power adapter is on, check all power adapter cabling is securely connected, including the cable to the power port. * If the green light is off: * Ensure the power adapter is plugged into the wall outlet. * Ensure the AC power c...
Why is abnormally warm gas flowing through the Ventec One-Circuit on my Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment?
If abnormally warm gas is flowing through the Ventec One-Circuit of your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, the air filter may be clogged; clean and replace it, replacing it if damaged. Ensure the device is properly ventilated, away from cluttered areas or heat sources. Contact Ventec Life Systems for service if the issue persists.
