Ventec Life Systems VOCSN, VOCSN-VC Clinical Quick Start Manual
Clinical Quick Start Guide
VOCSN offers mechanical Ventilation, Oxygen, Cough, Suction, and Nebulizer therapies in one compact,
portable, lightweight device.
This Quick Start Guide is intended to provide a high-level overview of VOCSN use, and does not
contain all the information required to operate VOCSN safely. For detailed instructions for use, see
the Clinicial and Technical Manual, available online at VentecLife.com.
Critical Care Ventilator
VOCSN is one of the few portable ventilators to achieve the rigorous critical care
standard1 for safety and accuracy. The ventilator provides invasive, noninvasive, and
mouthpiece ventilation and delivers a comprehensive set of modes and settings to
meet patient needs.
VENTILATION
6 L/min Equivalent Internal Oxygen Concentrator
The VOCSN internal oxygen concentrator and Oxygen DirectTM system deliver the
equivalent of 6 L/min of oxygen or up to 40% FiO2. External high pressure and low
2
pressure oxygen sources can be connected when needed.
OXYGEN
COUGH
SUCTION
Touch Button Cough
Touch Button CoughTM therapy is activated in seconds rather than minutes, without
changing the circuit. Breath Sync monitors patient breathing and triggers a cough at
a natural point in the breathing cycle.
Hospital Grade Suction
Hospital grade suction system provides consistent high flows throughout the entire
suction experience. VOCSN Suction therapy is up to three times quieter than
traditional portable suction machines.
High Performance Nebulizer
VOCSN automatically compensates for the airflow from the nebulizer drive to ensure
accurate ventilation and comfortable breathing. VOCSN records each medication
use and turns off the nebulizer when the therapy is complete.

Clinical Quick Start Guide
VOCSN Configurations
VOCSN may include all five therapies and all the features described in this guide, or just the set of therapies
and features purchased or prescribed by the treating physician. Depending on its configuration, VOCSN will
be able to provide Ventilation, +Oxygen Concentration, +Cough, +Suction, and/or +Nebulizer therapy. It
may also be able to provide oxygen from an external high-pressure source and FiO2 monitoring (+Pro
configurations) or low-pressure oxygen (all configurations). The configuration name is based on the therapies
VOCSN can provide. For example, the V+C configuration provides Ventilation+Cough therapies. The
configuration name is printed on the back of the device.

Clinical Quick Start Guide
VOCSN Placement
When selecting a place to operate VOCSN, keep the following in mind:
• Do not block VOCSN air inlets and vents.
• Do not operate VOCSN on its back or on compliant bedding, which may obstruct the airflow
around it.
• Do not cover VOCSN with towels or other materials.
• VOCSN should be placed in a well-ventilated area, free of airborne pollutants, contaminants, and
fumes.
• Always have a backup means of ventilation available, as well as a backup means of any other
therapy critical to patient care.
• Do operate VOCSN near smoke, open flame, or heat sources while Oxygen therapy is in use. This
could cause fire or explosion and serious harm to the patient.
• Over time, direct sunlight may compromise the integrity of VOCSN plastic housing or the Ventec
One-Circuit. Place VOCSN in a location that is not exposed to extended periods of direct
sunlight.
• Ensure the environment is within the recommended operating range of temperature, altitude, and
relative humidity for VOCSN. (5 to 40 °C, 700 to 1060 hPA, 15% to 90% RH)
Powering VOCSN
Use the Power button on the front right side of VOCSN to turn it on
and off. Listen for two audio tones every time you power on
VOCSN. This verifies the VOCSN backup buzzer, which is used in
case of an Inop alarm condition or issue with the VOCSN speaker.
Power
The Power Supply
Whenever possible, connect VOCSN to an external source of continuous power. Verify the external power
indicator appears on the touchscreen when VOCSN in plugged in.
