VOCSN offers mechanical Ventilation, Oxygen, Cough, Suction, and Nebulizer therapies in one compact, portable,
lightweight device.
Critical Care Ventilator
VOCSN is one of the few portable ventilators to achieve the rigorous critical care standard1for safety
and accuracy. The ventilator provides invasive, noninvasive, and mouthpiece ventilation and delivers a
comprehensive set of modes and settings to meet patient needs.
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 pressure oxygen sources can
be connected when needed.
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 ows 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 airow 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.

Introduction
Therapy Overview
Using the Ventec One-CircuitTM, clinicians, home caregivers, and patients can use VOCSN to ventilate, provide air
enriched with oxygen to the patient, simulate natural coughs to clear secretions, remove those secretions from the
patient airway or circuit, and administer nebulized medication, minimizing the need to connect additional medical
equipment or recongure the patient circuit.
NOTE: This manual describes the features included with version 4.06. Not all functionality is available in previous
versions of the VOCSN software. See “Software Updates” on page 168 for a description of features included in each
release, and instructions to check the software version of your device. To view revisions of the Clinical and Technical
manual associated with previous software versions, see VentecLife.com/resources.

VOCSN Congurations
VOCSN offers mechanical Ventilation, Oxygen, Cough, Suction, and Nebulizer therapies in one compact, portable,
lightweight device. VOCSN is customizable and may be purchased in various congurations of the available integrated
therapies. There are many possible VOCSN congurations. This allows patients and caregivers to select a device that
provides therapies that meet the patient’s individual needs.
Your device may include all ve therapies and all the features described in this manual, or just the set of therapies and
features purchased or prescribed by the treating physician. Depending on its conguration, 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 congurations) or low-pressure oxygen
(all congurations). The conguration name is based on the therapies VOCSN can provide. For example, the V+C
conguration provides Ventilation+Cough therapies. The conguration name is printed on the back of the device, and is
also visible on the My VOCSN screen.

Leak+ Performance
The Leak+ feature allows VOCSN to deliver High Flow ventilation, as well as provide compensation for leaks up to
175 L/min at 20 cmH2O. The improved Leak Compensation may be particularly useful during non-invasive ventilation.
Leak+ is available on devices with compatible hardware running software version 4.06R and newer.
To see if your VOCSN is capable of Leak+ performance, install the latest software and check for the “V”
icon with a white background in the status bar. The availability of this feature can also be found on the
My VOCSN screen next to “Leak+.”
For more information about VOCSN leak compensation, see “Leak Compensation” on page 212.
WARNING: Delivered and monitored ventilation therapy may be affected by large leaks around the patient interface.

Ventilation
VOCSN provides invasive or non-invasive ventilation. Using one of six ventilation modes, and an active, passive,
valveless, or mouthpiece Ventec One-Circuit, VOCSN delivers congurable pressure, volume, and/or spontaneous
breaths.
The congurable Flow Trigger control, in combination with the powerful integrated Leak Compensation feature, allows
VOCSN to perform well for both invasive and non-invasive applications, even with signicant leaks in the patient circuit.
VOCSN devices with the Leak+ feature can compensate for leaks up to 175 L/min at 20 cmH2O. Ventilation controls such
as Rise Time and Pressure Control Flow Termination can be adjusted to improve patient comfort.
The Ventilation therapy Presets feature allows clinicians to set up, label, and store up to three unique Ventilation therapy
congurations. Using the touchscreen, clinicians, home caregivers, and patients can switch between these three pre-
congured therapies as needed. For example, some patients may benet from one ventilation Preset while awake,
another Preset while active, and a third Preset during sleep.
The Permissions feature allows clinicians to lock VOCSN control settings. VOCSN controls can be set to User and
Clinician, or Clinician Only. Controls set to Clinician Only cannot be modied until the Clinician Access Passcode is
entered. Controls set to User and Clinician will remain adjustable at all times.
Optional integrated oxygen blending provides a congurable FiO2 to the patient, utilizing an external high-pressure
oxygen source. The internal FiO2 monitor continuously monitors the FiO2 of the delivered gas as it ows to the Ventec
One-Circuit, to ensure the accuracy of delivered Oxygen therapy. The VOCSN also includes an internal O2 Concentrator,
which may be used to provide Oxygen DirectTM therapy to the patient. Alternatively, oxygen can be owed into the
Ventec One-Circuit through the low-pressure oxygen port.
Oxygen Direct
The VOCSN internal O2 Concentrator delivers Oxygen Direct therapy to the patient without requiring an external
oxygen source. It is intended for the administration of non-life-sustaining, supplemental oxygen to stable individuals.
Using the O2 Flow Equivalent control, the internal O2 Concentrator delivers the equivalent of up to 6 L/min as pulse
doses through a small integrated oxygen tube in the Ventec One-Circuit.
Traditional, portable oxygen concentrators include a pulse dose oxygen mode, used to deliver oxygen through a high
ow nasal cannula, but do not have a way to trigger pulsed doses of oxygen through a patient circuit for ventilation.
VOCSN unies ventilation and oxygen concentration to deliver oxygen as pulse doses through a small oxygen tube in
the Ventec One-Circuit, in synchronization with patient breathing.
VOCSN can also be connected to an external source of high-pressure oxygen to deliver oxygen through the Ventec One-
Circuit as a congured FiO2, or in pulse dose mode using an integrated Ventec One-Circuit O2 tube.

Introduction
VentecLife.com 15
Touch Button Cough
Integrated VOCSN Touch Button CoughTM therapy can be delivered with the touch of a button without modifying
the Ventec One-Circuit. Once initiated using the touchscreen, VOCSN transitions to Cough therapy and then back to
Ventilation therapy automatically. Touch Button Cough therapy delivers an insufation (positive) pressure, and then an
exsufation (negative) pressure through the Ventec One-Circuit to simulate a natural cough, moving secretions out of the
patient airway.
The Cough+Suction feature allows VOCSN to activate Suction therapy automatically when Cough therapy is initiated, to
simultaneously move secretions out of the patient airway, and from the Ventec One-Circuit.
The Breath Sync feature synchronizes cough maneuvers with patient effort to improve patient comfort. VOCSN also
monitors Peak Cough Flow and Cough Volume to help ensure Cough therapy is delivered effectively.
Suction
VOCSN includes a high-ow suction system designed to safely aid in effective airway clearance for both pediatric and
adult patients. If enabled, Suction therapy can be initiated at any time during Ventilation or Cough therapy, to help
remove secretions from the patient airway or Ventec One-Circuit.
The Cough+Suction feature allows VOCSN to activate Suction therapy automatically when Cough therapy is initiated, to
simultaneously move secretions out of the patient airway, and from the Ventec One-Circuit.
Suction therapy can be used with a Ventec Secretion Trap, or closed- or open-suction catheter. The Ventec Secretion Trap
collects secretions as they enter the Ventec One-Circuit during Cough therapy. Suction tubing connected to the Ventec
Secretion Trap vacuums those secretions out of the Ventec One-Circuit and into the detachable Ventec Travel Suction
Canister.
Nebulization
Optional Nebulizer therapy provides an integrated 6 L/min nebulizer drive, to power a nebulizer connected to the
Ventec One-Circuit. Nebulization can be initiated using the VOCSN touchscreen, and turns off automatically when the
congured Nebulizer therapy duration has elapsed. While Nebulizer therapy is active, VOCSN automatically adjusts the
delivered Ventilation therapy to compensate for nebulization ows.

Introduction
VentecLife.com 16
Portability
VOCSN is designed to support the transport of mechanically ventilated patients. VOCSN includes two removable,
rechargeable batteries and an internal rechargeable battery, used to power the device when no external source of
continuous power is available.
Using the power supply, VOCSN can be connected to a wall outlet or other AC power source. Ventec Life Systems also
offers an optional 24 Volt Wheelchair Power Cable, which can be used to power VOCSN from wheelchair outlets. VOCSN
batteries charge whenever an external power source is applied.
Indications for Use
