Oximeter
The DreamStation 2 Advanced device can pair to a pulse oximeter, using Bluetooth, for
measuring %SpO2 and pulse rate.
To use a pulse oximeter with your therapy device, follow these steps.
1. Follow the setup instructions provided with your pulse oximeter and finger sensor.
2. Attach the finger sensor to your forefinger.
3. Press the Therapy button on your device to begin therapy.
4. Once the device detects a good connection with the pulse oximeter, both the Bluetooth
symbol and “SpO
2
” will display on the top of the display screen.
Note: It may take up to 30 seconds for the device to recognize the pulse oximeter.
When you have achieved at least 4 hours of therapy and oximetry use, a pop-up will appear stating
the pulse oxitmetry reading was successful. If you do not reach the minimum therapy hours, a pop-
up appears stating that the pulse oximetry reading was unsucessful.
Supplemental oxygen
Oxygen can be added to the patient circuit. Please note the warnings listed below when using
oxygen with the device.
Warnings
• When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply with local
regulations for medical oxygen.
• Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the
presence of an open flame.
• Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture in combination with
oxygen or air, or in the presence of nitrous oxide..
• If supplemental oxygen is added at the exit of the flow generator or humidifier, a Philips
Respironics Pressure Valve must be placed in-line with the patient circuit between the
device and the oxygen source. The pressure valve helps prevent the backflow of oxygen
from the patient circuit into the device when the unit is off. Failure to use the pressure
valve could result in a fire hazard.
