Safety Precautions WARNING: This signals a risk of injury or accident to the patient. Pay attention to the Safety Precautions indicated in the Dreamstar™ Duo, Dreamstar™ DuoST (and their ...
Contra-indications Studies have shown that the use of positive pressure is contra-indicated in some patients affected by any of the following pre-existent pathologies: Severe bullous emphysema or emphysema previously complicated by pneumothorax. Pneumoencephalus, trauma or recent surgery with sequela of cranio-nasopharyngeal fistula. ...
Available Features The device detects the patient’s respiratory cycles, and according to the patient's inspiratory and expiratory efforts, delivers a high-pressure inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) and a low- pressure expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP). The device can operate either in constant mode (CPAP), or in Bilevel mode, the DreamStar™ DuoST or DreamStar™...
Mask unplugged feature If the patient removes his mask, the device automatically switches to low power. The machine will restore normal power when the mask is reconnected or if the On/Off button or the ramp button is pressed. Otherwise, the device will stop after 30 minutes. Note: If the patient uses a resistive interface (full face mask with anti-asphyxia valve), a specific calibration of the pneumatic configuration must be carried out so that the DreamStar ™...
Device Settings The adjustment of the therapeutic pressure must be determined by the prescribing physician for each patient individually, with the configuration of the equipment to be used, including the accessories. The correct installation and positioning of the patient interface constitute a critical condition for the proper operation of the device.
Session: period during which data is recorded to memory between the time the device starts operation and the time the device goes into standby. A session is started after the device has been on for at least 5 minutes without interruption.
