2. System overview
The DreamStation Go Heated Humidier attaches to the therapy device and provides an air outlet port to connect
a breathing circuit. The breathing circuit is composed of patient tubing, a mask, and in some instances a separate
exhalation device. The patient tubing is 12 mm performance tubing. For information related to the mask to be used,
including any need for a separate exhalation device, consult the instructions for use that accompany both the mask
and therapy device.
Note
The DreamStation Go Heated Humidier is not supported for use with battery power. Only connect the CPAP
and Humidier together to receive therapy.
The DreamStation Go Heated Humidier is designed to deliver humidication for added comfort during therapy. This
humidication level is controlled through the output of the heated humidier.
The DreamStation Go Heated Humidier is composed of the following components:
• Heated humidier - The heated humidier is the primary source of humidication. Humidication is controlled by
adjusting the temperature of the heater plate. The heater plate is then used to heat water found in the water tank.
This manual includes instructions that explain how to set up and take care of the heated humidier.
• Water tank - The water tank stores the water that will be used by the heated humidier. This manual includes
instructions that cover how to use and take care of the water tank.

14
7. Troubleshooting
The table below lists some of the problems you may experience with your humidier and possible solutions.
Problem Why it happened What to do
The humidier and/
or components are
cracked or damaged.
The humidier
was dropped or
mishandled.
If the humidier does not operate properly after being dropped or
mishandled, contact your supplier or Philips Respironics.
The therapy device
is operating but the
humidier’s airow is
low or stopped.
The humidier has an
airow obstruction.
Contact your supplier or Philips Respironics. If the problem cannot
be resolved, return the humidier to your supplier to determine the
problem.
High Leak The tubing is not
connected correctly
and doesn’t seal
properly.
Remove your mask and tubing and check for kinks or tears. If it is
torn or damaged, contact your supplier or Philips Respironics for
replacement tubing and/or mask.
If the tubing is not damaged, reattach your tubing, turn on the
airow, and check to make sure you do not still feel air coming out of
the port area.
The therapy device is
not seated correctly
against the humidier.
Remove the therapy device from the humidier and reconnect. Make
sure the air inlet port on the humidier connects securely to the air
outlet port on the device.
If high leak persists, issue may be caused by a missing, misaligned or
damaged seal. Verify that the tank lid is properly seated. If needed,
gently press around the perimeter of the tank lid to reseat it.
The humidier tank is
not properly seated in
the humidier.
Remove the water tank from the humidier base, and then place the
tank back in the humidier, making sure it is completely seated.
If high leak persists, issue may be caused by a misaligned or
damaged seal. Ensure that the CPAP seal is present. If a seal has
come loose, gently press around the edges of the seal to reseat it.
Excessive
condensation in the
tubing.
The humidity level
setting is too high.
Reduce the humidity level setting or set the humidier to adaptive
humidication.
The humidier is
positioned incorrectly.
Verify that the humidier and therapy device are away from air
conditioning equipment.
The humidier has
fallen o your table or
night stand.
The humidier
may not have been
properly seated on
the night stand, or
the placement of
the tubing may have
caused the device to
fall.
Always make sure your humidier is placed on a hard, at surface
so the rubber feet on the bottom of the humidier base can adhere
to the surface (make sure there is no fabric under the base). The
humidier must be level for proper operation.
Also, place the humidier away from the edge of the night stand or
table, so it doesn’t accidentally get knocked o the table.
If the humidier falls and water gets into the therapy device, drain all
water out of the therapy device. Allow it to air dry to make sure it is
completely dry before reapplying power.
If the placement of the tubing causes the humidier to fall, make
sure that you use proper hose management when setting up your
device. Route the tubing behind the bed’s headboard.
If the humidier does not operate correctly after falling, contact your
supplier or Philips Respironics.

15
Problem Why it happened What to do
I’m having diculty
adjusting the heated
humidier setting.
The blower is not
turned on, or the
humidier is not fully
connected.
The humidier setting can only be adjusted when therapy is turned
ON. Conrm that the blower is turned on, and that the humidier
icon appears on the left side of the screen, then adjust to desired
comfort. If the blower is on but the humidier settings are not
displayed on the Therapy ON screen, then unplug the device.
Conrm that the humidier electrical contacts are not obstructed or
damaged. Then reconnect the humidier and reconnect the device’s
power supply. Turn the blower on; if the settings are still not visible,
contact your supplier or Philips Respironics for assistance.
The water in the water
tank runs out before
morning.
Water tank was
not full at start of
session. Mask leak is
excessively high. The
ambient conditions
are very dry/cool.
Under most conditions, a full water tank should last for a typical
sleep session. However, many factors impact water consumption,
including: the ambient temperature and humidity in your bedroom,
your humidier settings, the level of mask leak, and the duration of
your sleep session.
First, make sure that the water tank is lled to the maximum ll line
at the start of your sleep session. Check that your mask is tted
properly, and adjust as needed to reduce mask leak to normal levels.
You may use the Check Mask Fit function to evaluate your mask t.
Also, conrm that the device, humidier, humidier seals, and tube
are connected properly and not leaking. You may also choose to
lower your humidier settings, change the humidication mode from
Fixed to Adaptive humidication mode, or adjust the Target Time
setting to increase the time that your humidier water will last.
I hear a leak or
whistling sound
coming from my
therapy device or
humidier (not related
to mask leak).
The therapy device
air inlet may be
obstructed. The
humidier or tube is
not fully connected.
The humidier seals
are not fully seated or
are missing.
Check therapy device air inlet is not obstructed and lters are clean
and properly inserted. Conrm that the device, humidier, and tube
are connected properly and not leaking. Conrm that the humidier
tank lid is properly seated; if needed, gently press around the
perimeter of the tank lid to reseat it.
I accidentally spilled
water into my
humidier base.
The water tank has
been lled beyond
the maximum ll line.
A small amount of water spilled on the base of the humidier will not
harm your device. A small spill in the humidier will evaporate under
normal humidier use. However, too much water in the humidier
water tank could spill over the tank lid and might damage your
furniture.
Disconnect power from the device. Remove the water tank, pour out
any excess water until the water level is at or below the maximum ll
line and set the water tank aside. Separate the humidier from the
therapy device, and pour out the spilled water. Once the heater plate
has cooled, wipe the humidier with a paper towel or soft cloth. If
needed, dry the underside of the humidier and conrm that your
table top is dry. Reconnect the humidier and power supply, and
reinstall the water tank.
Note
For information on troubleshooting your therapy device, see the manual included with your therapy device.

2. Put the empty water tank back into the device.
3. Pack your humidier in your carry-on luggage.
Caution
Do not move the humidier while the water tank has water in it.
When you are traveling, the optional carrying case for your therapy device can be used for carry-on luggage only. The
carrying case will not protect the humidier if it is put through checked baggage.
For your convenience at airport security stations, there is a note on the bottom of the humidier stating that it is
medical equipment. It may be helpful to bring this manual along with you to help security personnel understand the
device.
If you are traveling to a country with a line voltage dierent than the one you are currently using with the therapy
device, a dierent power cord or an international plug adapter may be required to make your power cord compatible
with those where you visit. Contact your supplier for additional information.
Service
The humidier does not require routine servicing. If any part of the humidier is worn or damaged, contact Philips
Respironics or your supplier. See the Troubleshooting section in this manual for additional information.
