(see page 1). Therapy and device data can be stored on it or read from it to be used with ResMed software
applications.

ResMed. Connection of other devices could result in injury, or damage to the Stellar. Refer to
General warnings and cautions (see page 27).

incorrect data may result. The download time depends on the data volume.

may be lost during data transfer.
