1User Manual
Caution: U. S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Intended Use
The Philips Respironics DreamStation systems deliver positive airway pressure 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
The device is to be used only on the instruction of a licensed physician. Your home care provider will make the correct pressure
settings and device congurations including accessories, according to your health care professional’s prescription.
Several accessories are available to make your OSA treatment with the DreamStation system as convenient and comfortable as
possible.
Warning: Use only the cleaning methods outlined in your user manual. Cleaning and disinfection methods using Ozone-based
products are not approved or recommended, and may adversely affect your device safety and performance.
Warnings
A warning indicates the possibility of injury to the user or the operator.
This manual serves as a reference. The instructions in this manual are not intended to supersede the health care professional’s
instructions regarding the use of the device.
The prescription and other device settings should only be changed on the order of the supervising physician.
The operator should read and understand this entire manual before using the device.
This device is not intended for life support.
The device should only be used with compatible patient interfaces (e.g., masks, circuits and exhalation ports). Proper operation of the
device with other circuits has not been veried by Philips Respironics and is the responsibility of the health care professional. 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. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than
several minutes can in some circumstances lead to suffocation.
An exhalation port is required. Do not block the exhalation port. This can reduce airow and result in rebreathing of exhaled air.
At low expiratory pressures, the ow through the exhalation port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing –
some rebreathing may occur.
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.
To ensure that you receive the safe, effective therapy prescribed for you, use only Philips Respironics accessories. The use
of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specied by Philips Respironics may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the device.
When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply with local regulations for medical oxygen.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open ame.
When using oxygen with this system, turn the device on before turning on the oxygen. Turn the oxygen off before turning the
device off. 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.
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 prevent the backow of oxygen from the patient circuit into the
device when the unit is off. Failure to use the pressure valve could result in a re hazard.
Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen source.
Do not use the device in the presence of a ammable anaesthetic mixture in combination with oxygen or air, or in the presence
of nitrous oxide.
Do not use the device near a source of toxic or harmful vapors.
• Do not use this device if the room temperature is warmer than 35° C (95° F). If the device is used at room temperatures warmer
than 35° C (95° F), the temperature of the airow may exceed 43° C (109° F). This could cause irritation or injury to your airway.
Do not operate the device in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance because these conditions can increase the temperature of
the air coming out of the device.
Contact your health care professional if symptoms of sleep apnea recur.
If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this device, if it is making unusual or harsh sounds, if it has been
dropped or mishandled, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, disconnect the power cord and
discontinue use. Contact your home care provider.

Do not immerse the device in any uids or spray the device with water or cleaners. Clean the device with a cloth dampened with
an approved cleaner.
If the device is used by multiple persons (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 using a humidier, do not use the humidier at an altitude above 2286 m (7500 ft) or outside a temperature of 5° C to 40° C
(41° F to 104° F). Using the humidier outside of this temperature range or above this altitude can affect the quality of the therapy
or injure the patient.
To prevent disconnection of the tubing or tubing system during use, only tubes in compliance with ISO 5367 or ISO 80601-2-74
should be used.
Humidication can increase the resistance of the bacteria lter and the operator must monitor the bacteria lter frequently for
increased resistance and blockage to ensure the delivery of the therapeutic pressure.
Be sure to 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.
To avoid strangulation hazards, ensure that all cords connected to the device are properly routed.
This device is activated when the power cord is connected.
For safe operation when using a humidier, the humidier must always be positioned below the breathing circuit connection at
the mask. The humidier must be level for proper operation.
Use only Philips Respironics recommended pulse oximeter and sensors. Use of incompatible sensors can result in inaccurate pulse
oximeter performance.
Do not use a damaged pulse oximeter or sensor.
Before use, carefully read these instructions and the instructions for use provided with the pulse oximeter and sensor.

Troubleshooting
Your device is equipped with a self-diagnostic tool call “Performance Check”. This tool can evaluate your device for certain errors. It
also allows you to share key device settings with your Provider. Use Performance Check when directed by your provider.
The table below lists some of the problems you may experience with your device and possible solutions to those problems.
Problem Why It Happened What To Do
Nothing happens
when you apply
power to the device.
The backlights on the
buttons do not light.
There’s no power
at the outlet or the
device is unplugged.
If you are using AC power, check the outlet and verify that the device is properly
plugged in. Make sure there is power available at the outlet. Make sure the AC
power cord is connected correctly to the power supply and the power supply cord
is securely connected to the device’s power inlet. If the problem continues to occur,
contact your home care provider. Return both the device and power supply to your
provider, so they can determine if the problem is with the device or power supply.
If you are using DC power, make sure your DC power cord and battery adaptor
cable connections are secure. Check your battery. It may need recharged or
replaced. If the problem persists, check the DC cord’s fuse following the instructions
supplied with your DC cord. The fuse may need to be replaced. If the problem still

mishandled, or
the device is in
an area with high
Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI)
emissions.
Unplug the device. Reapply power to the device. If the problem continues, relocate
the device to an area with lower EMI emissions (away from electronic equipment
such as cellular phones, cordless phones, computers, TVs, electronic games, hair
dryers, etc.). If the problem still occurs, contact your home care provider for
assistance.
The Ramp feature
does not work when
you press the Ramp
button.
Your home care
provider did not
prescribe Ramp
for you, or your
therapy pressure is
already set to the
minimum setting.
If Ramp has not been prescribed for you, discuss this feature with your home care
provider to see if they will change your prescription.
If your provider has enabled Ramp, but the feature still does not work, check the
current pressure setting on the Therapy screen. If the therapy pressure is set to the
minimum setting (4.0 cm H
2
O), or the Ramp starting pressure is the same as the
therapy pressure, the Ramp feature will not work. Make sure that the ramp time
setting is >0.
The airow is
much warmer than
usual.
The air lters may
be dirty. The device
may be operating
in direct sunlight or
near a heater.
Rinse or replace the reusable air lter or replace the disposable ultra-ne lter.
The temperature of the air may vary somewhat based on your room temperature.
Make sure that the device is properly ventilated. Keep the device away from bedding
or curtains that could block the ow of air around the device. Make sure the device
is away from direct sunlight and heating equipment.
If using the humidier with the device, check the humidier settings. Refer to the

using (Philips Respironics 22, 15, or 12 mm tubing).
If you are using the Heated Tubing, this setting will be 15H and you cannot change it.
Tube Temperature is
turned on in “Setup”
screen but Heated
Tubing is not warm.
Incorrect power
supply is being used.
Make sure the 80W power supply is being used or a compatible battery or DC cable
is being used.
23User Manual
Problem Why It Happened What To Do
I’m having difculty
adjusting the heated
humidier setting
or the heated tube
temperature setting.
The blower is not
turned on, or the
humidier or heated
tube is not fully
connected.
The humidier setting and tube temperature settings can only be adjusted from the
Therapy ON display screen. Conrm that the blower is turned on, and that the
settings are visible on the right 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 and/or heated tube
electrical contacts are not obstructed or damaged. Then reconnect the humidier
and/or heated tube, and reconnect the device’s power supply. Turn the blower on; if
the settings are still not visible, contact your provider for assistance.
The water in the
water chamber runs
out before morning.
Water chamber
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 chamber 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 or heated tube settings,
the level of mask leak, and the duration of your sleep session.
First, make sure that the water chamber 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 and/or heated tube settings or change the humidication mode from
Fixed to Adaptive humidication mode 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 free of debris and
properly inserted. Conrm that the device, humidier, and tube are connected
properly and not leaking. Conrm that the humidier lid seal and dry box seal are
present and properly seated; if needed, gently press around the perimeter of the
seals to reseat them.
I accidentally spilled
water into my
humidier basin.
The water
chamber has been
lled beyond the
maximum ll line.
A small amount of water spilled in the basin 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 basin could spill over the humidier lid
hinge and might damage your furniture.
Disconnect power from the device. Remove the water chamber, pour out any
excess water until the water level is at or below the maximum ll line and set the
chamber aside. Separate the humidier from the therapy device, and pour out the
spilled water. Once the heater plate has cooled, wipe the inside of 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 chamber.
