Programs
Note: Each program retains its own circuit configuration. When switching between programs, ensure you
use the correct circuit (breathing system) as 'learned' for that program. If more than one program has been
set up, follow the directions given by your clinician for when and how each program should be used.
Ramp Down

Using mask-fit

You can use mask-fit to help you fit your mask properly. This feature delivers constant treatment pressure
for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment, during which you can check and adjust your mask-fit
to minimise leaks. The mask-fit pressure is the set CPAP or EPAP pressure or 10 cm H
greater.
1. Put the mask on according to the mask user guide.
2. Hold down for at least three seconds until pressure delivery starts.
3. If necessary adjust the mask, mask cushion and headgear until you have a good mask fit. After three
minutes treatment will begin. Mask-fit can be stopped at any time by pressing
Notes:
•
Press for at least three seconds during mask-fit to start the treatment immediately.
• The mask-fitting feature is disabled when the mask type Trach is selected.

Programs can be configured by your clinician to provide you with
multiple treatment options. For example, a clinician can set up
programs for sleeping versus waking use or for use during exercise
or physiotherapy. Programs save different patient circuit
configurations (Learn Circuit result) and therapy and alarm settings.
The Stellar comes with one active program. Your clinician can
configure two programs. If your clinician has selected dual, you can
choose the program to use on the Treatment screen after stopping
treatment. If only a single program is selected, the option does not
display.
If you experience difficulties in taking off the ventilation, you can use
the Ramp Down feature. This feature reduces the treatment
pressure to Start EPAP/PEEP over five minutes. After five minutes
the therapy stops. You can enable the Ramp Down feature when it
is selected by the physician in the Options menu.
Notes:
•
Therapy can be stopped at any time by pressing the therapy
start/stop button, including during the Ramp Down time.
•
During the Ramp Down time the low pressure alarm is not
active.
•
This feature is not available in all countries.
