Caution: U. S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Intended Use
The Philips Respironics DreamStation systems deliver positive airway pressure therapy for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in
spontaneously breathing patients weighing over 30 kg (66 lbs). It is for use in the home or hospital/institutional environment.
Important
The device is to be used only on the instruction of a licensed physician. Your home care provider will make the correct pressure settings and device configurations including accessories, according to your health care professional's prescription.
Several accessories are available to make your OSA treatment with the DreamStation system as convenient and comfortable as possible. To ensure that you receive the safe, effective therapy prescribed for you, use only Philips Respironics accessories.
Warnings
A warning indicates the possibility of injury to the user or the operator. · This manual serves as a reference. The instructions in this manual are not intended to supersede the health care professional's
instructions regarding the use of the device.
· The operator should read and understand this entire manual before using the device.
· This device is not intended for life support.
· The device should be used only with masks and connectors recommended by Philips Respironics or with those recommended by the
health care professional or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the device is turned on and operating properly.
The exhalation port(s) associated with the mask should never be blocked. Explanation of the Warning: The device is intended to be used with special masks or connectors that have exhalation ports to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask exhalation port. However, when the device is not operating, enough fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be
rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to suffocation. · If you are using a full face mask (a mask covering both your mouth and your nose), the mask must be equipped with a safety
(entrainment) valve. · When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply with local regulations for medical oxygen. · Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame. · When using oxygen with this system, turn the device on before turning on the oxygen. Turn the oxygen off before turning the
device off. This will prevent oxygen accumulation in the device. Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the tubing may accumulate within the device's enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the device enclosure will create a risk of fire. · When using oxygen with this system, a Philips Respironics Pressure Valve must be placed in-line with the patient circuit between the device and the oxygen source. The pressure valve helps prevent the backflow of oxygen from the patient circuit into the device when the unit is off. Failure to use the pressure valve could result in a fire hazard.
· Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen source. · Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture in combination with oxygen or air, or in the presence
of nitrous oxide.
· Do not use the device near a source of toxic or harmful vapors.
· Do not use this device if the room temperature is warmer than 35° C (95° F). If the device is used at room temperatures warmer than 35° C (95° F), the temperature of the airflow may exceed 43° C (109° F). This could cause irritation or injury to your airway.
· Do not operate the device in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance because these conditions can increase the temperature of
the air coming out of the device.
· Contact your health care professional if symptoms of sleep apnea recur. · If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this device, if it is making unusual or harsh sounds, if it has been
dropped or mishandled, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, disconnect the power cord and
discontinue use. Contact your home care provider. · Repairs and adjustments must be performed by Philips Respironics-authorized service personnel only. Unauthorized service could
cause injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly damage. · Do not use any accessories, detachable parts, and materials not recommended by Philips Respironics. Incompatible parts or
accessories can result in degraded performance.
· Use only approved cables and accessories. Misuse may affect EMC performance and should be avoided.
· The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.The DreamStation on-board Bluetooth
communication should be considered a wireless phone in this regard.
· Use only power cords supplied by Philips Respironics for this device. Use of power cords not supplied by Philips Respironics may cause overheating or damage to the device and may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment or system.
· The device should not be used while stacked or in close approximation to other non-approved devices.
· Do not pull or stretch the tubing. This could result in circuit leaks.

User Manual

Problem The airflow does not turn on.
The device's display is erratic.
The Ramp feature does not work when you press the Ramp button.
The airflow is much warmer than usual.
The airflow pressure feels too high or too low. Tube Temperature is turned on in "Setup" screen but Heated Tubing is not warm. I'm having difficulty adjusting the heated humidifier setting or the heated tube temperature setting.

Why It Happened There may be a problem with the blower.
The device has been dropped or mishandled, or the device is in an area with high Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) emissions. Your home care provider did not prescribe Ramp for you, or your therapy pressure is already set to the minimum setting. The air filters may be dirty. The device may be operating in direct sunlight or near a heater.
The Tubing type setting may be incorrect.
Incorrect power supply is being used.
The blower is not turned on, or the humidifier or heated tube is not fully connected.

What To Do
Make sure the device is powered correctly. Make sure the Home screen appears on the user interface. Press the Therapy button on top of the device to start airflow. If the airflow does not turn on, there may be a problem with your device. Contact your home care provider for assistance.
Unplug the device. Reapply power to the device. If the problem continues, relocate the device to an area with lower EMI emissions (away from electronic equipment such as cellular phones, cordless phones, computers, TVs, electronic games, hair dryers, etc.). If the problem still occurs, contact your home care provider for assistance.
If Ramp has not been prescribed for you, discuss this feature with your home care provider to see if they will change your prescription. If your provider has enabled Ramp, but the feature still does not work, check the current pressure setting on the Therapy screen. If the therapy pressure is set to the minimum setting (4.0 cm H O), or the Ramp starting pressure is the same as the therapy pressure, the Ramp2 feature will not work. Make sure that the ramp time setting is >0. Rinse or replace the reusable air filter or replace the disposable ultra-fine filter. The temperature of the air may vary somewhat based on your room temperature. Make sure that the device is properly ventilated. Keep the device away from bedding or curtains that could block the flow of air around the device. Make sure the device is away from direct sunlight and heating equipment. If using the humidifier with the device, check the humidifier settings. Refer to the humidifier instructions to make sure the humidifier is working properly. If the problem continues, contact your home care provider.
Make sure the Tubing type setting (22 or 15) matches the tubing that you are using (Philips Respironics 22 or 15 mm tubing). If you are using the Heated Tubing, this setting will be 15H and you cannot change it. Make sure the 80W power supply is being used or a compatible battery or DC cable is being used.
The humidifier setting and tube temperature settings can only be adjusted from the Therapy ON display screen. Confirm that the blower is turned on, and that the settings are visible on the right side of the screen, then adjust to desired comfort. If the blower is on but the humidifier settings are not displayed on the Therapy ON screen, then unplug the device. Confirm that the humidifier and/or heated tube electrical contacts are not obstructed or damaged. Then reconnect the humidifier and/or heated tube, and reconnect the device's power supply. Turn the blower on; if the settings are still not visible, contact your provider for assistance.

Problem

Why It Happened

What To Do

The water in the water chamber runs out before morning.

Water chamber was not full at start of session. Mask leak is excessively high. The ambient conditions are very dry/cool.

Under most conditions, a full water chamber should last for a typical sleep session. However, many factors impact water consumption, including: the ambient temperature and humidity in your bedroom, your humidifier or heated tube settings, the level of mask leak, and the duration of your sleep session.
First, make sure that the water chamber is filled to the maximum fill line at the start of your sleep session. Check that your mask is fitted properly, and adjust as needed
to reduce mask leak to normal levels. You may use the Check Mask Fit function to evaluate your mask fit. Also, confirm that the device, humidifier, humidifier seals

and tube are connected properly and not leaking. You may also choose to lower your humidifier and/or heated tube settings or change the humidification mode from Fixed to Adaptive humidification mode to increase the time that your humidifier

water will last.

chamber has been filled beyond the maximum fill line.

A small amount of water spilled in the basin of the humidifier will not harm your device. A small spill in the humidifier will evaporate under normal humidifier use. However, too much water in the humidifier basin could spill over the humidifier lid
hinge and might damage your furniture.

Disconnect power from the device. Remove the water chamber, pour out any excess water until the water level is at or below the maximum fill line and set the chamber aside. Separate the humidifier from the therapy device, and pour out the spilled water. Once the heater plate has cooled, wipe the inside of the humidifier with a paper towel or soft cloth. If needed, dry the underside of the humidifier and confirm that your table top is dry. Reconnect the humidifier and power supply, and

reinstall the water chamber.
