Maintenance of Stellar 150 BiPAP: Replace the air filter every six months (or more often if
necessary). The air filter is not washable or reusable. Remove the air filter cover at the back of the device.
Remove and discard the old air filter. Insert a new filter. Refit the air filter cover. Wipe the exterior of the
device with a damp cloth (and mild detergent if needed).
Internal Battery In case of a power disruption (AC), the device will operate using the internal battery.
Battery life is displayed as a % in the top left corner of the display screen. The battery duration depends
on the state of charge and the device settings. Under normal conditions, the battery should last about 2
hours. The internal battery can take up to 3 hours to recharge.
Battery Maintenance: The manufacturer recommends that the internal battery be discharged and
recharged every six months. To discharge the battery: remove the power cord while the Stellar
150 is turned on (stand-by or in operation) and let the
device operate with the internal battery to a charge level of 50%. To recharge the internal battery:
plug the power cord into the AC power outlet. An orange/red light will flash next to the battery
symbol on the display screen in the “Power Source Indicator” area until the battery has recharged
to 100%
Humidification
Humidification is recommended for nasal and upper airway dryness that is a common occurrence
due to the high flow of air being directed through the nasal and oral passages.
Humidifier Maintenance: Included with the BiPAP is a yellow device that acts as a cover plate to
the water chamber when cleaning the inside of the humidifier. DAILY: Drain any residual water
from the humidifier each morning. Refill the chamber half way to the MAX water line with
DISTILLED water. MONTHLY: It is recommended that you wash your water chamber in warm
water, using a mild detergent. Remove mineral deposits in the water chamber by using a solution of
one part household vinegar to ten parts water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow
chamber to air dry.
