The DreamStation CPAP is a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy device designed for the treatment
of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The DreamStation CPAP Pro can also deliver CPAP-check therapy, and
the DreamStation Auto CPAP can also deliver CPAP-Check and Auto-CPAP therapy.

d represents the DreamStation platform.

ls.

The DreamStation BiPAP Pro can be set up as a Bi-level device, which delivers two different positive pressure
levels: IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) and EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure). The
DreamStation BiPAP Auto can also be set up as an Auto Bi-level device. Both BiPAP systems can also be set
up as a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device.

PAGE 1-31117539, VER. 07

The devices provide several special features to help make therapy more comfortable. The ramp function
allows the user to lower the pressure when they are trying to fall asleep. The air pressure will gradually
increase until their prescription pressure is reached. Also, the Flex comfort feature provides the user with
pressure relief when they exhale during therapy.

Several accessories are also available for use with the devices.

1.1 HUMIDIFIER SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The DreamStation Heated Humidifier attaches to the therapy device and provides an air outlet port to connect
a breathing circuit. The breathing circuit is comprised of patient tubing, a mask, and in some instances a
separate exhalation device. The patient tubing can be Respironics heated tubing, 22 mm (non-heated)
performance tubing or 15 mm (non-heated) performance tubing.

The DreamSt ation Heated Humidifie r with Heated Tubing is designed to deliver humidification to provide ad ded
comfort during therapy. This humidification level is controlled through the output of the heated humidifier as
well as the temperature of the optional heated tubing. Use of these two accessories allows for a comfortable
level of humidity to be maintained at the mask.

The DreamStation Heated Humidifier is comprised of the following components:

• Heated Humidifier - The heated humidifier is the primary source of humidification. Humidification

is controlled by adjusting the temperature of the heater plate . The heater plate is then used to hea
water

found in the water tank. This manual includes instructions that explain how to set up an

t

ake care of the heated humidifier . For instructions on how to adjust the heated humidifier settings

refer

to the instructions for use that accompanied the therapy device.

• Water Tank - The water tank stores the water that will be used by the heated humidifier . This man-

ual includes instructions that cover how to use and take care of the water tank.

• Heated Tubing - The heated tubing is an optional accessory that is used, along with the heated

humidifier
ture of the air in order to ensure that it does not cool down pr ior to reaching the mask. This manu
in

cludes instructions that cover how to connect and t ake care of the hea ted tubing. For instruction s
on how to adjust the temperature of the heated tubing, refer to the instructions for use that accom­panied the therapy device.

CHAPTER 4: SETUP

This chapter provides an overview of the system setup including introductory information on the User and
Provider modes and menus. Please refer to the device’s User Manual for further information.

WARNING

• Inspect the power cord often for any signs of damage.

Replace a damaged power cord immediately.

• Be sure to route the power cord to the outlet in a way that

will prevent the cord from being tripped over or interfered
with by chairs or other furniture.

• This device is activated when the power cord is connected.

CAUTION

• If the device has been exposed to either very hot or very

cold temperatures, allow it to adjust to room temperature
(approximately two hours) before beginning setup.

• Do not use extension cords with this device.

NOTE

• Please refer to the Clinical Manual for additional information.

4.0 SUPPLYING DC POWER TO THE DEVICE

A Philips Respironics DC power cord can be used to operate this device in a stationary recreational vehicle,
boat, or motor home. In addition, a Philips Respironics DC battery adapter cable, when used with a DC power

cord, allows the device to be operated from a 12 VDC free-standing battery.

CAUTION

• Always ensure that the DC power cord securely fits into the th erapy device prior to use.

• When DC power is obtained from a vehicle battery, the device should not be used while the

vehicle’s engine is running. Damage to the device may occur.

• Only use a Philips Respironics DC Power Cord and Battery Adapter Cable. Use of any

other system may cause damage to the device.

PAGE 4-2

4.1 SUPPLYING AC POWER TO THE DEVICE

Complete the following steps to operate the device using AC power:

1. Plug the socket end of the AC power cord (included) into the power supply (also included).

2. Plug the pronged end of the AC power cord into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall
switch.

simply slide the tubing over the air outlet port on the therapy device.

PAGE 4-4

WARNINGS

• Do not pull or stretch the tubing. This could result in circuit leaks.

• Inspect the tubing for damage or wear. Discard and replace the tubing as

necessary.

• If the device is used by multiple persons (such as rental devices), a low-

resistance, main flow bacteria filter should be installed in-line between the
device and the circuit tubing to prevent contamination.

4.7 CHECKING THE HUMIDIFIER LID SEAL

Under normal use, the humidifier lid seal should not require any maintenance or replacement. The seal may be
cleaned as needed by wiping it with a damp cloth. If necessary, the humidifier lid seal may be removed for
further cleaning. Gently peel the seal from the humidifier lid and clean it in a solution of warm water and a mild
liquid dish-washing detergent. Rinse with clean water. Wipe completely on both sides. Allow the seal to air dry.
Inspect the seal for damage. If the humidifier lid seal show signs of wear or damage, it should be replaced.

To install or reseat your humidifier lid seal, fully open the humidifier lid. Position the seal (1) against the inside
of the lid so the seal’s center hole aligns with the humidifier outlet port. Confirm that the seal is p ositioned so
the wire channel (2) in the seal is below the humidifier outlet port (3).

F

IGURE 4-11: CHECKING THE HUMIDIFIER LID SEAL

NOTE

The seal only fits properly in one orientation.

With the seal loosely in place, start at the bottom (1) and gently press the edges of the seal into the channel in
the lid of the humidifier. Continue sliding your fingers all around the rectangular perimeter of the seal until the
outer edge is completely seated. Next, press the seal around the humidifier outlet port (2) until the center of the
seal is fully seated. Finally, go back and run your fingers around the rectangular perimeter of the humidifier lid
seal once more to confirm it has not become dislodged.

4.8 INSTALLING/REPLACING THE AIR FILTERS

CAUTION

A properly installed, undamaged Philips Respironics blue pollen filter is
required for proper operation.

The device uses a blue pollen filter that is washable and reusable, and a light-blue ultra-fine filter that is
disposable.

The reusable blue filter screens out normal household dust and pollens, while the light-blue ultra-fine filter
provides more complete filtration of very fine particles. The reusable blue filter must be in place at all times
when the device is operating. The ultra-f ine filter is recommended for people who are sensitive to tobacco
smoke or other small particles.

The reusable blue filter is supplied with the device. A disposable light-blue ul tra-fine filter ma y also be include d.
If your filter is not already installed when you receive your device, you must at least install the reusable filter
before using the device.

This device has an automatic air filter reminder. Every 30 days, the device will display a message reminding
you to check your filters and replace them as directed.

NOTE

This message is a reminder only. The device does not detect the performance
of the filters nor does it recognize when a filter has been cleaned or replaced.

1. Lift up on the filter access door and swing open. If replacing, pull out the old filter assembly.
