2. Description of unit
2.1 Intended use
The VENTImotion is a home ventilation unit for non-invasive, non-life support ventilation of adult patients with respiratory insufficiency in whom there is evidence of autonomous respiratory drive. This corresponds to the following clinical pictures:
• restrictive and obstructive ventilation disorders like paresis of the diaphragm, OSAS, COPD
• disorders of the respiratory mechanism like scoliosis, deformity of the
thorax
• neurological, muscular and neuromuscular disorders
• central respiratory regulation disorders
The VENTImotion is not suitable for life-support use.
Use the unit only for the purpose described here.
2.2 User qualification
The VENTImotion may only be used by a doctor on an individual basis for a specific
patient.
When the VENTImotion is handed over to the patient, the doctor in charge or hospital staff must instruct the patient in how the unit works.
2.3 Functional description
Provision of therapy pressure
An electronically-controlled fan draws in ambient air through a filter and delivers it to
the unit outlet. From here, the air flows through the hose system and the mask to the
patient.
Sensors detect the pressure in the mask and in the hose system and also the respiratory phase switch (trigger point). The fan accordingly provides the IPAP and EPAP
pressures set by the doctor.
8 Description of unit
Therapy modes
The VENTImotion can be operated in six therapy modes: CPAP, S, ST, T, SX and
SXX mode. Your doctor will set the mode required for your therapy on the unit.
Your doctor can activate volume compensation. Minimum volume and maximum
pressure increase are set for this purpose. If the minimum volume is undershot, the
unit automatically increases pressure continuously until the set maximum pressure
(therapy pressure + max. pressure increase) is reached.
In time-controlled mode T and in assisted-controlled mode ST, your doctor can set
respiratory frequency in the range from 6 to 45 breaths a minute and inspiration time
in the range from 20 % to 67 % of the respiratory period.
In assisted modes S, SX and SXX and in assisted-controlled mode ST, your doctor
can select one of 6 trigger stages for both inspiration and expiration. Your doctor
can switch off the trigger for expiration. Expiration is then time-controlled.
If no breath is taken into the unit in S mode, the pressure is switched at a minimum
frequency of 6 breaths a minute.
Other functions
The soft start function makes it easier to fall asleep. Your doctor sets initial pressures
for inspiration and expiration which rise continuously to the therapy pressures during
the soft start phase. This function can be locked out by the doctor.
The VENTImotion has an auto switch-on system. If this is activated, the unit can be
switched on by a breath being taken into the mask. The unit is still switched off using
the on / off switch .
The display shows therapy mode and, depending on mode, the values currently
being applied for CPAP/IPAP and EPAP and for respiratory frequency (f). Spontaneous or mechanical respiratory phase switches are also displayed and the pressure
change shown in the form of a graph.

Operating the unit
Caution!
• Check that the supply voltage of the unit matches your supply voltage. The unit can operate with voltages of 115 V and 230 V. It sets
itself to one of these voltages automatically.
• Always secure the supply plug with the cable securing clip to prevent the plug being pulled out inadvertently.
• The VENTImotion must be connected to an easily accessible supply
socket so that in the event of a malfunction, the supply plug can be
removed quickly.
• Do not place the unit near a source of heating or expose to direct
sunlight to prevent the unit overheating. Condensation could also
form in the VENTIclick humidifier which would then condense in the
hosesystem.
• Do not cover the unit with blankets etc.. The air inlet would be blokked and the unit could overheat. This can lead to inadequate therapy and damage to the unit.
• Maintain a safe distance between the VENTImotion and devices
which emit high-frequency radiation (e.g. mobile phones), otherwise there may be malfunctions (see page 49.)
• An alternative ventilation system should be on hand in case of a unit
failure.
10 Safety instructions
Caution!
• Third-party masks may be used only after approval from the manufacturer (Weinmann). Use of non-approved masks puts successful
therapy in jeopardy.
• If a pneumotachograph with a high flow resistance is used in determining flow rate to start or check therapy, the trigger function of the
VENTImotion may be restricted. If you have any questions, please
contact the manufacturer (Weinmann).
• No antistatic or electrically-conductive hoses may be used.
• Using the VENTIclick humidifier, bacteria filter and O
valve VENTI-O2 accessories may modify the characteristics of the
unit. Subsequent additions to these accessories may render it necessary to readjust the unit parameters. Consult your doctor if necessary.
• Please comply with Section “6. Hygienic preparation” on page 25
to prevent infection or bacterial contamination.

2. Connect the connectig cord to a supply socket.
The VENTImotion is designed for a supply voltage
of 115 V ~ to 230 V ~. "Weinmann VENTImotion"
appears in the display.
3. Plug the hose system adapter in the unit outlet.
The unit is now operational.
Set up unit 15
4.2 Put on the Mask
The VENTImotion is designed for use with nasal, nasal/oral and full facial masks.
Proceed as follows to put on the mask.
1. Adjust the forehead support of the l mask (if provided).
2. Connect the headgear/the headband to the mask and position the mask.
3. Adjust the headgear/headband so that the bulge of the mask only results in low
pressure to prevent pressure points on the face.
Please refer to the operating instructions for the relevant mask.
4.3 Accessories
Separate exhalation system
A separate exhalation system is required if you are using a mask without an integrated exhalation system.
Used carbon dioxide (CO2)-enriched air escapes from the mask through the exhalation system. Without an exhalation system, the CO2 concentration would rise to critical values in the mask and hose, thus hindering your breathing.
The exhalation system also allows you to breathe through the nose or mouth if the
unit malfunctions. In the event of a malfunction with a full facial mask, you breathe
through a safety valve on the mask.
The sleeve on the end of the hose system has a diame-

ter of 19.5 mm and fits over a 22 mm standard cone.
Put the exhalation system on the sleeve of the creased
hose.
Please refer to the operating instructions for your exhalation system.
Humidifier VENTIclick
The VENTIclick humidifier is positioned between the
VENTImotion and the hose system. The inlet connection
stub and the electrical connection of the heating element
must be pointing at the VENTImotion. Please also see
the operating instructions for the VENTIclick.
Oxygen supply using the VENTI-O
The supply of oxygen must have been prescribed by
the doctor in charge.
For safety reasons (risk of fire), the direct introduction
of oxygen into the hose system or the mask is not permitted without a special protective device.
On the VENTImotion, the introduction of oxygen is permitted solely using the VENTI-
O2 oxygen valve, WM 24200. This valve allows up to 4 l/min. of oxygen to be
introduced. In the event of a fault, the VENTI-O2 gives off the oxygen into the ambient
air. This means that it cannot accumulate in the unit.
The oxygen can be supplied using an oxygen concentrator (e.g. Oxymat 3), central
gas supply system, liquid oxygen or an oxygen cylinder with a suitable pressure reducer. The external oxygen source must be equipped with a flow-adjustment device
independent of the VENTI-O2.
You must follow the safety instructions for handling oxygen without fail, as well as the
operating instructions for the VENTI-O2 oxygen valve and the oxygen device used.
2
Set up unit 17
Bacteria filter
If the VENTImotion is intended for use by several patients (e.g. in hospital), bacteria filter WM 24148
should be used to protect against infection. It is installed between the hose system and the VENTImotion or
the VENTIclick. Please also observe the enclosed operating instructions for the bacteria filter.
Caution!
The bacteria filter represents an additional resistance in the air stream. This may
lead to a change in the response characteristics of the trigger. For this reason,
you should have the unit parameters reset if a bacteria filter is fitted retrospectively.
VENTIpower
For mains-power independant operation
is available.
VENTIpower can also be connected to
parallel to mains power. VENTIpower then remains in
standby mode. If mains power fails, VENTIpower automatically supplies power to the therapy device with
a delay of about 4 seconds.
Using VENTIpower you can operate VENTImotion independant from mains power in the carrying bag
WM 24888. To do so place VENTIpower in the dedicated section of the carrying bag and connect it to
the therapy device.
Please also observe the operating instructions for VENTIpower.
