Interface

1. Turn all controls (A, B, C) OFF (clockwise) and connect
the UCL-Ventura to the 4-bar oxygen supply directly or by
using an extension hose.

2. Connect the ow generator to the patient circuit shown.

3. Turn the FLOW ON/OFF control (A) fully ON
(anticlockwise) and open the FLOW ADJUSTMENT control
(B) (3-4 complete rotations anticlockwise).

4. Increase the oxygen concentration by turning the OXYGEN
ADJUSTMENT control (C) (anticlockwise) to the desired
level.

5. Apply mask to the patient with appropriate straps and

ensure a good t.

6. Alter the FLOW ADJUSTMENT control (B) to ensure

optimal ow to:

• Flutter the mask outlet valve (larger port) throughout

the respiratory cycle (the valve will utter less during

inspiration).

• Hold the blue ow indicator ag (where tted) horizontal
or just below horizontal on inspiration (the ag will
remain below horizontal on expiration).

• A virtually continuous ow at the outlet lter should
be felt on the back of a gloved hand throughout the
respiratory cycle.

7. Alter the OXYGEN ADJUSTMENT control (C) if the oxygen
concentration has changed.

If the device becomes damaged it should be

withdrawn from use.
