and Stellar 150 User and Clinical Guides.
Supplementary information on FiO
Note: It may take up to 15 minutes for the FiO
powering on the device.
The FiO
sensor performance can be adversely affected by relative humidity, condensation on the
2
sensor or unknown gas mixtures.
FiO
monitoring is affected by changes in ambient and cyclical pressure. This change in monitoring is
2
proportional ie, at 3 000m (10 000 ft) altitude the ambient pressure decreases by 30% relative to sea
level and will result in a 30% decrease in monitored FiO
For information on maintenance and disposal of the oxygen sensor, refer to the FiO
Guide for Stellar.

Note: Calibration must be done in room air without supplemental oxygen connection.
Optional accessories
Using water traps
When using a water trap, check the air circuit regularly for accumulated water. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations for frequency of inspection of water traps.
Supplementary information on SpO
Both the SpO
and pulse rate are logged at a sample rate of 1 Hz.
2
The optional SpO
sensor is calibrated for the display of functional oxygen saturation.

The Disconnected XPOD alarm will activate if the pulse oximeter is connected during therapy and an
interruption to its data transfer occurs for more than 10 seconds.
For part numbers of compatible oximeter accessories for this device, see the ventilation accessories
on www.resmed.com under the Products page. For information on how to use these accessories,
refer to the user guide that comes with these accessories.
WARNING
•
Pulse oximeter sensors must not be used with excessive pressure for prolonged periods
as this can cause patient pressure injury.
•
The pulse oximeter sensor and cable needs to be verified for compatibility with Stellar,
otherwise, patient injury can result.
Internal battery
The internal battery will operate for approximately three hours under normal conditions.
It can take up to four hours to fully recharge the internal battery, however, this can vary depending
on environmental conditions and if the device is in use.
