Stellar 150: easy access to intelligent therapy

From hospital care to

homecare, invasive to

noninvasive applications,

paediatric to adult use …

ResMed’s Stellar 150

ventilator offers intelligent

ventilation in one easy,

accessible device.

Light, small and quiet,

Stellar 150 combines

simplicity with unique new

features, such as ResMed’s

iVAPS technology and a

remote alarm.

From set-up to therapy

management and monitoring,

Stellar 150 is the easiest

way to establish confidence

among clinical staff

and carers.

More in one

NEW! Extra assurance with remote
alarm: Stellar 150’s louder fixed and

adjustable alarms have just been
complemented by a new Remote Alarm
which means that it is now even more
suited to environments such as the
hospital or for patients who need closer
monitoring at home.

Mobility and portability: equipping
patients for therapy on the move with
an internal battery

(the ResMed Power Station II)
and the purpose-built Mobility bag to
carry and protect the ventilator and
accessories. The bag allows access to
the Stellar user interface.

Integrated or external humidification
options: the H4i™ Heated Humidifier

for Stellar completely integrates with
the ventilator if required. HumiCare
D900 works as an external active heated
humidification option when consistent
humidification in changing conditions
is essential.

Low-inertia blower: comprised of

ResMed’s unique low-inertia motor and
impeller; delivers higher performance

Vsync and TiControl™: proven
ResMed noninvasive ventilation (NIV)
technologies work together to improve
ventilation, disease management, patient
comfort and sleep quality. Therapy
acceptance improves because the
patient’s breathing is more ‘in sync’
with their device.

iVAPS* (intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support)

Intelligent: alveolar ventilation and an

intelligent Back-up Rate (iBR) for efficacy,
synchrony and comfort

• Intelligently targets alveolar
ventilation, accounting for anatomical
dead space to ventilate the patient
more effectively

• Provides an iBR when required,
to help maintain or restore synchrony
during or after events such as
coughing and sighing

Personalised: the Learn Targets feature
for easy and individualised set-up

• Learns the patient’s alveolar
ventilation and sets targets accordingly

• Learns the patient’s spontaneous

respiratory rate and uses this
as input for the iBR

• Minimises the need for constant

manual adjustment, while enabling
clinicians to review and accept or
change recommended target settings

Automatic: adaptable pressure support
and an iBR for the patient’s changing
ventilation needs

• Automatically adjusts the pressure

support to achieve and maintain
the target alveolar ventilation;
constantly monitors the patient’s
actual ventilation in relation to the
target ventilation

• Automatically determines when an

iBR is required; constantly monitors
the patient’s actual respiratory rate in
relation to the target rate

• Adapts to the patient’s changing

needs, such as during different stages
of sleep

* iVAPS mode is for patients 30 kg and above.

Live comprehensive monitoring
information at your fingertips

The Synchronisation screen displays
spontaneous verses machine-triggered/
cycled breaths

iVAPS mode targets alveolar ventilation
and the patient’s respiratory rate for
efficacy, synchrony and comfort

Optimal accuracy and synchrony

Learn Circuit: at the push of a button the

device initiates this inbuilt test
to measure and compensate for changes
in circuit impedance (caused by the use
of anti-bacterial filters, humidifiers and
other accessories).

Pathology Defaults: a choice of
disease-specific preset values, based
on commonly-used clinical values
for obstructive, restrictive, obesity
hypoventilation and normal lung
mechanics. Advanced settings are
optimised so medical staff can focus
on fine-tuning primary settings for
each patient.

Mask selection and fitting: selecting the
correct mask in the user menu enables
the device to compensate for differences
in mask vent flow and impedance. This
optimises patient comfort and patient–
ventilator synchrony. The Mask Fit feature
delivers flow before therapy begins, to
test for excessive mask leak; it helps
achieve the best fit for the patient without
over-tightening the mask.

Data and monitoring

Real-time monitoring on the LCD:

the Monitoring Menu provides essential
data, including simultaneously-viewed
flow and pressure curves, the Ti-bar graph
to fine-tune ventilation, and SpO

monitoring.

Real-time remote monitoring:

EasyCare Tx software connects to
Stellar 150 via the Tx Link, offering
real-time remote titration, where settings
can be changed remotely.

Summary data and reminders on the
LCD: the Info Menu provides a snapshot

of therapy information for seven sessions
at a time, with easy scrolling for up to 365
sessions. It also provides patient reminders
like filter and mask replacements.

Downloadable data: the device stores
usage and summary data for up to 365
treatment sessions and seven days of
high-resolution, breath-by-breath data
(including SpO

and FiO2); this can be

downloaded via USB or cable, using
