Setting up for invasive use
The Stellar 150 can be used invasively only with the ResMed leak port and an uncuffed or
deflated cuff tracheostomy tube.
WARNING
Replace the HMEF regularly as specified in the instructions provided with the HMEF .
•
The H4i is contraindicated for invasive use. An external humidifier approved for
•
invasive use is recommended according to EN ISO 8185 with an absolute humidity of
> 33 mg/L and a maximum flow within the technical specifications of Stellar 150.
For optimal accuracy and synchrony, perform Learn Circuit with a change of the circuit
•
configuration, in particular when adding or removing high impedance components (eg,
antibacterial filter, external humidifier, water trap, nasal pillow type mask or air tubing).
See "Setup menu: Options" on page 42.
CAUTION
When using a humidifier, use a water trap and check the air circuit regularly for
accumulated water.
Notes:
When the mask type is set to Trach, the Non-Vented Mask alarm will be automatically
•
enabled to alert the user when the leak port has no vent holes or when the vent holes are
blocked.
ResMed recommends using a breathing system (including antibacterial filter, air tubings,
•
external humidifier and ResMed leak port) with an impedance of maximum 2 cm H
30 L/min, 5 cm H
