Working with other optional accessories

Attaching the pulse oximeter

Use of a pulse oximeter may be recommended by your clinician.
Contraindication
The pulse oximeter does not meet defibrillation-proof requirement per IEC 60601-1: 1990,
clause 17.h.
1
Connect the plug of the finger pulse sensor to the plug of the pulse oximeter.
2
Connect the plug of the pulse oximeter at the rear of the device.
To view the oximetry values, from the Monitoring menu, select Monitoring.

Adding supplemental oxygen

Oxygen may be prescribed by your clinician.
Note: Up to 30 L/min at maximum oxygen pressure of 50 mbar (0.73 psi) can be added.
WARNING
•
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating, so that unused
oxygen does not accumulate within the device and create a risk of fire.
•
Use only certified, clean oxygen sources.
•
ResMed strongly recommends adding oxygen into Stellar's oxygen inlet at the
rear of the device. Entraining oxygen elsewhere, ie into the breathing system via
a side port or at the mask, has potential to impair triggering and accuracy of
therapy/monitoring and alarms (eg, High Leak alarm, Non-vented mask alarm). If
used in this way, therapy and alarm operation must be verified each time oxygen
flow is adjusted.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the
presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen supply in well-ventilated rooms.
•
The breathing system and the oxygen source must be kept at a minimum
distance of 6' 6" (2 m) away from any sources of ignition (eg, electrical devices).
•
Oxygen must not be used while the device is being operated within the mobility bag.
