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
Refer to illustration J.
1.
Before you remove supplemental oxygen from the device, ensure the oxygen supply has been turned
off.
2.
Unlock the low flow oxygen inlet on the back of the device by pushing up on the locking clip.
3.
Remove the oxygen supply tubing from the oxygen connector port.
Using the FiO2 monitoring sensor
Use of the FiO
2
monitoring sensor may be recommended by your clinician.
Note:
It may take up to 15 minutes for the FiO
2
sensor readings to meet the specified accuracy after
powering on the device.
The FiO
2
sensor performance can be adversely affected by relative humidity, condensation on the sensor
or unknown gas mixtures.
FiO
2
monitoring is affected by changes in ambient and cyclical pressure. This change in monitoring is
proportional to the altitude at 3 000m (10 000 ft), the ambient pressure decreases by 30% relative to sea
level and will result in a 30% decrease in monitored FiO
2
.
For information on maintenance and disposal of the oxygen sensor, refer to the FiO
2
Monitoring Kit Guide
for Stellar.
FiO
2
sensor calibration
Note:
Calibration must be done in room air without supplemental oxygen connection.
CAUTION
Do not use the FiO
2
monitoring sensor with the H4i humidifier.
Preparing to use a new sensor
1.
Before use, leave the FiO
2
monitoring sensor open to the air for 15 minutes.
2.
Attach a new FiO
2
monitoring sensor (as shown below).
3.
Perform the sensor calibration (refer to Setup menu: Options (see page 14)).
Note:
The FiO
2
monitoring sensor must be replaced every 12 months.
Connecting a sensor
Refer to illustration K.
1.
Connect the air tubing to the T-piece adapter.
2.
Connect the FiO
2
monitoring sensor to the T-piece adapter.
3.
Connect the adapter to the air outlet of the device.
4.
Connect one end of the cable to the FiO
2
monitoring sensor.
5.
Connect the other end of the cable to the rear of the device.
6.
Start calibration (refer to Setup menu: Options (see page 14)). This should be repeated periodically at
the recommendation of your clinician.
Attaching a bacterial/viral filter
The use of a bacterial/viral filter may be recommended by your clinician. One bacterial/viral filter—product
code 24966—can be purchased separately from ResMed.
Regularly check the filter for entry of moisture or other contaminants. The filter must be replaced according
to the manufacturer's specifications.
Note:
ResMed recommends using a filter with a low impedance (less than 2 cm H
2
O at 60 L/min, eg,
PALL BB 50 filter).
