therapy for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in spontaneously breathing
patients weighing over 30 kg (66 lbs.). It is for use in the home or hospital/institutional
environment.
Important
This device is to be used only on the instruction of a licensed physician. Your supplier
will make the correct pressure settings according to your health care professional’s
prescription.
Several accessories are available to make your Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) treatment
with the DreamStation Go system as convenient and comfortable as possible. To
ensure that you receive the safe, eective therapy prescribed for you, use only Philips
Respironics accessories.
Warnings
A warning indicates the possibility of injury to the user or operator.
Device usage This device is not intended for life support.
Personnel
qualications
This manual serves as a reference. The instructions in this manual are
not intended to supersede your health care professional’s instructions
regarding the use of the device.
The operator should read and understand this entire manual before
using the device.
Operating
and storage
temperatures
Do not use this device if the room temperature is warmer than 95˚ F
(35˚ C) because the temperature of the airow may exceed 109˚ F (43˚
C). This could cause thermal irritation or injury to the patient’s airway.
Do not use the device while positioned in a warm place, such as direct
sunlight or near a heating appliance. These conditions can increase
the temperature of the airow and could cause thermal irritation or
injury to the patient’s airway.
Bacteria lter If the device is used by multiple persons in a hospital environment
(such as rental devices), a low-resistance, main ow bacteria lter
should be installed in-line between the device and the circuit tubing
to prevent contamination.
If the device is used on multiple users, discard and replace the
bacteria lter each time the device is used on a dierent person.

1. Safety Information
Patient circuits
and tubing
The device should be used only with masks and connectors
recommended by Philips Respironics or with those recommended
by the health care professional or respiratory therapist. A mask
should not be used unless the device is turned on and operating
properly. The exhalation port(s) associated with the mask should
never be blocked.
Explanation of the Warning: The device is intended to be used
with special masks or connectors that have exhalation ports to
allow continuous ow of air out of the mask. When the device is
turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device ushes
the exhaled air out through the mask exhalation port. However,
when the device is not operating, enough fresh air will not be
provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed.
If you are using a full face mask (a mask covering both your
mouth and your nose), the mask must be equipped with a safety
(entrainment) valve.
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.
Improperly
functioning
device
If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the
device, if it is making unusual sounds, if water is spilled into the
enclosure, or if the enclosure is cracked or broken, discontinue use
and contact your supplier.
Power cord 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.
Use only power cords supplied by Philips Respironics for this device.
Use of power cords not supplied by Philips Respironics may cause
overheating or damage to the device.
To avoid strangulation hazards, ensure that all cords connected to the
device and battery pack are properly routed.

1. Safety Information
Accessories Do not use any accessories, detachable parts, and materials
not recommended by Philips Respironics. Incompatible parts or
accessories can result in degraded performance.
The USB charging port is designed only for use in charging a
mobile device, such as a cell phone. Ensure there are no additional
accessories attached to the mobile device while connected to this
charging port.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specied
or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Oxygen When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply
with local regulations for medical oxygen.
Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen
source.
When using oxygen with this system, 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 to prevent the back ow
of oxygen from the patient circuit into the device when the unit is o.
Failure to use the pressure valve could result in a re hazard.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open ame.
Do not use the device in the presence of a ammable anesthetic
mixture in combination with oxygen or air, in the presence of nitrous
oxide, or in an oxygen-enriched environment.
Do not use the device near a source of toxic or harmful vapors.
When using oxygen with this system, turn the device on before
turning on the oxygen. Turn the oxygen o before turning the device
o. This will prevent oxygen accumulation in the device.
Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation
and the oxygen ow is left on, oxygen delivered into the tubing may
accumulate within the device’s enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the
device enclosure will create a risk of re.
EMC Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
should be avoided because it could result in improper operation.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. The DreamStation Go on-board Bluetooth
communication should be considered a wireless phone in this regard.
