Before you start
Please read this manual carefully before using your DreamStar™ device so that you
fully understand the limitations of this device.
Safety precautions
WARNING This indicates in this manual
a risk of injury or accident to you or to
others.
• The DreamStar™ product range devices cannot be used without a medical prescription. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to adjust prescribed settings without agreement of the medical
team.
• Use the device only for the recommended use as described in this manual. Advice contained in this
manual should not supersede instructions of your health professional.
• This device is not intended to provide assistance for vital functions.
• The DreamStar™ product range devices must only be used with the circuits, mas s, fittings and
accessories recommended by a physician or provided by your health care provider. Ma e sure the
‘Directions for Use’ instructions for each accessory are in the pac age and read them carefully.
• If you suspect that the device or one of its accessories is defective or damaged or not wor ing
properly, please contact your health care provider.
• Do not try to open or modify the device (ris of electric shoc ). Maintenance of this equipment is to be
performed by s illed personnel only. Please contact your health care provider.
• If necessary, the device can be detached from the electrical networ by unplugging the power supply
cord. Ma e sure that the power supply cord is accessible.
• If the device is connected to a base of multiple soc ets, then an additional base of multiple soc ets or
an extension wire should not be connected to the system.
• During treatment, only equipment provided by your health care provider should be connected to the
device USB connector.
• Place the device on a stable horizontal surface in a clean environment. Do not use the device if it has
been set next to or on top of another device.
• Be careful not to obstruct the air outlet, or any other opening of the device or respiratory circuit,
either accidentally or intentionally. Do not cover the unit or place it too close to a wall. Do not
introduce liquids or objects into the air outlet.
• Please hold the device and the power cord away from any water source (electrocution hazard). Use
the device and its accessories (power cords) only if they are dry and in wor ing order.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• If supplemental oxygen is to be introduced, carefully follow the instructions and safety precautions for
using oxygen.
• Do not use this device near flammable vapors and in particular do not use the integrated heated
humidifier near flammable anesthetics, whether they are present alone or in combination with other
gases (explosion hazard).
• Once the mas is in place, ma e sure that the device produces an air flow. Never bloc the mas
exhalation vent, which allows air to be expelled continually. When the device is operating, the air
produced flushes the exhaled air out through the mas vent hole. When the device is not operating,
insufficient fresh air is produced in the mas , presenting a ris of re-breathing exhaled air, which
under certain circumstances could ris patient safety within several minutes.
• If the operation of the unit is defective and if the patient uses a nasal mas , the device resistance is
low enough that the patient can exhale through the machine or even open his mouth. If a full face
mas is used, the mas must have an anti-asphyxia valve.
• In case of power failure or malfunction, remove the mas .
• Do not leave long lengths of tubing on the bed. They could twist round your head or your nec while
you are sleeping.
• Keep the device away from children and pets or pests.
If your device is equipped with a water chamber:
• When using the water chamber, ta e precautions to eliminate the ris of introducing water into the
device since this can cause irreversible damage. The device must be placed on a stable horizontal
surface and must not be tilted.

en GB – 4 DreamStar Intro, Info, Auto patient manual
• The humidifier has a plate that, li e the base of the water chamber, may become hot during normal
operation. Avoid touching them.
• The water chamber must be cleaned before the first use, after any technical intervention, and
regularly thereafter, following the instructions provided under "Cleaning and Maintenance", on page
31.
• Always empty the water chamber before moving or transporting the device.
• Fill the water chamber away from the device to prevent water from flowing over it.
• Do not use the device if lea age is detected in the chamber, due for example to the deterioration of
the gas et.
• The heated humidification feature must not be used where the ambient temperature is higher than
35˚C (95˚F) because the temperature of the air delivered to the patient could exceed 43˚C
(109.4°F), which could pose a ris of scalding the upper airways.
• Adding a humidifier may affect the device performance.
• There is a ris of air lea age if the water chamber or the cover is not reassembled correctly, which
could cause the applied pressure to deviate from the prescribed pressure.
CAUTION This indicates in this manual
that there is a possibility of material
damage to this device or any other device.
• If your device is equipped with a cover where the water chamber should be, the heated humidification
feature must be disabled. Otherwise, the heating element of the device could continue to provide heat
to the device, although it would not reach dangerous temperatures. However, if it is enabled, set the
heat level to the minimum value, and alert your home care provider.
• Be sure to position the device in order to prevent anyone stumbling into or tripping over the power
cord.
• If the device is placed on the ground, ensure it is in a place free from dust, bedding, clothing or other
objects that could bloc air inta e.
• Li e all medical electrical devices, the DreamStar™ product range device is vulnerable to interference
from mobile and portable radiofrequency communication equipment (mobile phones, Wi-Fi…).
