ResMed Stellar Serie Bedienungsanleitung Seite 13

•
Use only certified, clean oxygen sources.
•
ResMed strongly recommends adding oxygen into Stellar's oxygen inlet at the rear of the device.
Entraining oxygen elsewhere, ie into the breathing system via a side port or at the mask, has
potential to impair triggering and accuracy of therapy/monitoring and alarms (eg, High Leak
alarm, Non-vented mask alarm). If used in this way, therapy and alarm operation must be verified
each time oxygen flow is adjusted.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an
open flame. Only use oxygen supply in well-ventilated rooms.
•
The breathing system and the oxygen source must be kept at a minimum distance of 2 m away
from any sources of ignition (eg, electrical devices).
•
Oxygen must not be used while the device is being operated within the mobility bag.
To add supplemental oxygen
1. Unlock the low flow oxygen inlet on the back of the device by pushing up on the locking clip.
2. Insert one end of the oxygen supply tubing into the oxygen connector port. The tubing automatically
locks into place.
3. Attach the other end of the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen supply.
4. Start ventilation.
5. Turn on the oxygen source and adjust to the desired flow rate.
To remove supplemental oxygen
Before you remove supplemental oxygen from the device, ensure the oxygen supply has been turned off.
1. Unlock the low flow oxygen inlet on the back of the device by pushing up on the locking clip.
2. Remove the oxygen supply tubing from the oxygen connector port.
