Programs
Programs can be configured by your clinician
to provide you with multiple treatment
options. For example, a clinician can set up
programs for sleeping versus waking use or
for use during exercise or physiotherapy.
Programs save different patient circuit
configurations (Learn Circuit result) and
therapy and alarm settings.
The Stellar comes with one active program.
Your clinician can configure two programs. If
your clinician has selected dual, you can
choose the program to use on the Treatment
screen after stopping treatment. If only a
single program is selected, the option does
not display.
Note:
Each program retains its own circuit configuration. When switching between
programs, ensure you use the correct circuit (breathing system) as 'learned' for that
program. If more than one program has been set up, follow the directions given by your
clinician for when and how each program should be used.
Ramp Down
If you experience difficulties in taking off the ventilation, you can use the Ramp Down
feature. This feature reduces the treatment pressure to Start EPAP/PEEP over five
minutes. After five minutes the therapy stops. You can enable the Ramp Down feature
when it is selected by the physician in the Options menu.
Notes:
•
Therapy can be stopped at any time by pressing the therapy start/stop button, including
during the Ramp Down time.
•
During the Ramp Down time the low pressure alarm is not active.
•
This feature is not available in all countries.
Using mask-fit
You can use mask-fit to help you fit your mask properly. This feature delivers constant
treatment pressure for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment, during which you
can check and adjust your mask-fit to minimise leaks. The mask-fit pressure is the set
CPAP or EPAP pressure or 10 cm H

O, whichever is greater.
1

2
Hold down
for at least three seconds until pressure delivery starts.

If necessary adjust the mask, mask cushion and headgear until you have a good mask fit.
After three minutes treatment will begin. Mask-fit can be stopped at any time by pressing
