1 Introduction
Please read this manual carefully before using the device.
This manual is provided with the VS III™ device you have received. It
does not in any way replace the clinical manual supplied to your
physician or HME provider.
The VS III is designed to provide ventilation to all patients, whether or not
they are ventilator-dependent. It can deliver invasive ventilation (via a
tracheostomy tube, for example) or non-invasive ventilation (via a mask
or mouthpiece, for example); however, the illustrations and text describe
mask setups only.
