Description
The Sunset Healthcare VC1114 is a passive heated breathing circuit engineered to safely and effectively deliver warm, humidified breathing gas to adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation. This single-use, disposable respiratory circuit combines heated wire technology with a proven single limb design to support optimal patient outcomes in hospital and homecare settings. Designed as a compatible alternative to the Fisher and Paykel RT114 circuit, the VC1114 is specifically tested and validated for use with the Fisher and Paykel MR850 heated humidifier system.
What This Breathing Circuit Does
The VC1114 breathing circuit functions as a delivery system between a heated humidifier and a ventilator patient interface. Its passive heating wire prevents condensation accumulation within the tubing, which reduces airway irritation and maintains stable temperature and humidity levels essential for protected airways during long-term mechanical ventilation. The circuit is available as a 10-pack per case and serves as a cost-effective substitute for OEM respiratory circuits.
Key Clinical Features
- Heated Wire Technology: Passive heating elements integrated into the circuit reduce rainout (condensation) that can interfere with patient breathing and increase infection risk.
- Single Limb Passive Design: A simplified single limb configuration makes setup quick and reduces system complexity without sacrificing humidification efficacy.
- Precise Tubing Dimensions: Features a 19mm internal diameter with standard 22mm outer diameter connectors, ensuring compatibility with most adult ventilator systems and humidifier outlets conforming to ISO 5356-1 standards.
- Flexible Corrugated Construction: 60-inch total corrugated tube length (comprised of a 2-foot short tube and 5-foot inspiratory limb) provides adequate reach and flexibility for patient positioning.
- Fisher and Paykel MR850 Compatibility: Validated performance with the MR850 heated humidifier ensures consistent gas delivery and reliable humidification output greater than or equal to 33 mg/l at flows from 3 to 60 L/min.
Product Specifications and Safety Standards
The VC1114 meets rigorous medical device standards with a maximum operating pressure of 60 hPa, flow resistance under 0.06 hPa/L/min at 80 L/min, and compliance less than 5 ml/hPa. Leakage is limited to less than 10 ml/min at 60 mbar, ensuring system integrity. The circuit maintains performance across standard operating temperatures from 18°C to 26°C and humidity levels from 5% to 95%. Classified as a Type BF (Body Floating) applied part, the VC1114 is latex-free, and available as a single-use product with a maximum 30-day lifespan per the manufacturer's instructions.
How to Use This Circuit Safely
Connect the VC1114 short tube outlet to the MR850 humidifier heat outlet. Attach the inspiratory limb to the patient ventilator interface or endotracheal tube. Verify all connections are secure before initiating therapy. Inspect the circuit daily for condensation, kinks, cracks, or any signs of damage. Replace immediately if damage is detected or after 30 days maximum use or when the patient's therapy is completed, whichever comes first.
Single-Use and Infection Control
As a single-use, disposable product, the VC1114 circuit is designed to be used for one patient only and must be discarded after therapy completion or within 30 days. This approach supports infection prevention protocols and reduces cross-contamination risks in clinical and home care environments. Dispose of according to local regulations for medical waste and biohazardous materials.
Why Choose the Sunset Healthcare VC1114
Healthcare providers and patients benefit from the VC1114's validated performance with Fisher and Paykel humidifiers, latex-free design, cost-effectiveness compared to OEM circuits, and straightforward single limb operation. The heated wire design specifically addresses common ventilator circuit challenges such as condensation and temperature loss, making it an excellent choice for extended ventilator support and long-term mechanical ventilation therapy in both acute and chronic care settings.

FAQs
What is the VC1114 breathing circuit used for?
The VC1114 is a passive heated breathing circuit designed to deliver moistened breathing gas from a humidifier to adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation. It prevents condensation buildup through its heated wire design and is compatible with Fisher and Paykel MR850 humidifiers.
Can I reuse this breathing circuit?
No, the VC1114 is a single-use, disposable product and should not be reused. After the patient's therapy is completed or after a maximum of 30 days of use, it should be disposed of according to local hospital or government regulations for biologically hazardous waste.
What equipment does this circuit connect to?
This circuit is specifically designed for use with the Fisher and Paykel MR850 heated humidifier for ventilators. It has standard 22mm connectors that allow it to connect to most ventilators and patient interfaces with compatible male or female outlet connectors (ISO 5356-1).
What are the tube lengths and dimensions of this circuit?
The VC1114 includes a 0.6m (2 feet) short tube and a 1.6m (5 feet) inspiratory limb. Both tubes have a 19mm internal diameter with standard 22mm outer diameter connectors. The total corrugated tube length is approximately 60 inches.
How long can I use this circuit before I need to replace it?
The VC1114 is designed for a maximum 30-day lifespan during patient use. The circuit should always be replaced after 14 days of continuous use or after the patient therapy is completed, whichever comes first. Inspect the circuit regularly for any damage such as holes, kinks, or exposed heating wires.
Is this circuit heated and what are the benefits?
Yes, the VC1114 features passive heating wire technology that prevents condensation from forming inside the circuit. This reduces airway irritation, improves patient comfort, and helps maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels during ventilation therapy. The heated design makes it especially useful for patients requiring long-term respiratory support.
