A home ventilator has many settings, alerts, and warnings.
Each type uses different settings determined by the treating physician, and some patients need a home ventilator all the time while others use it for some time.
Therefore, the patient and caregiver must be aware of the following:
Turning on and off the home ventilator.
Connecting and disconnecting the patient from the device.
Changing the device's circuits and accessories.
Identify each alert and warning, and how to correct it.
