Data Management; Cleaning And Maintenance; Daily - ResMed Stellar Series User Manual

Data management

There are two data ports at the rear of the device for connecting a USB stick (see "Stellar
at a glance" on page 1). Therapy and device data can be stored on it or read from it to be
used with ResMed software applications.
WARNING
Do not connect any device to the data ports other than specially designed devices
recommended by ResMed. Connection of other devices could result in injury, or
damage to the Stellar (see "General warnings and cautions" on page 31).
CAUTION
Do not disconnect the ResMed USB stick while data transfer is in progress. Otherwise loss
of data or incorrect data may result. The download time depends on the data volume.
Notes:
• You cannot connect two ResMed USB sticks simultaneously for data communication.
• If data transfer is not possible or failed please read the troubleshooting section.
• Do not store files on the USB stick other than those created by the device or
application. Unknown files may be lost during data transfer.
