ResMed 150 Ventilation Hood User Manual


 
From hospital care to
homecare, invasive to
noninvasive applications,
paediatric to adult use …
ResMed’s Stellar 150
ventilator offers intelligent
ventilation in one easy,
accessible device.
Light, small and quiet,
Stellar 150 combines
simplicity with unique new
features, such as ResMed’s
iVAPS technology and a
remote alarm.
From set-up to therapy
management and monitoring,
Stellar 150 is the easiest
way to establish confidence
among clinical staff
and carers.
Stellar 150: easy access to intelligent therapy
More in one
NEW! Extra assurance with remote
alarm: Stellar 150’s louder fixed and
adjustable alarms have just been
complemented by a new Remote Alarm
which means that it is now even more
suited to environments such as the
hospital or for patients who need closer
monitoring at home.
Mobility and portability: equipping
patients for therapy on the move with
an internal battery
1
, an optional external
battery
2
(the ResMed Power Station II)
and the purpose-built Mobility bag to
carry and protect the ventilator and
accessories. The bag allows access to
the Stellar user interface.
Integrated or external humidification
options: the H4i™ Heated Humidifier
for Stellar completely integrates with
the ventilator if required. HumiCare
D900 works as an external active heated
humidification option when consistent
humidification in changing conditions
is essential.
High oxygen delivery: the device can
use up to 30 L/min
3
of oxygen, so a high
FiO
2
can be reached.
Advanced technology
Low-inertia blower: comprised of
ResMed’s unique low-inertia motor and
impeller; delivers higher performance
more quietly than a conventional motor.
Removable, replaceable air path: for
easier and quicker device cleaning and
servicing, minimising any down-time.
Vsync and TiControl™: proven
ResMed noninvasive ventilation (NIV)
technologies work together to improve
ventilation, disease management, patient
comfort and sleep quality. Therapy
acceptance improves because the
patient’s breathing is more ‘in sync’
with their device.

Intelligent: alveolar ventilation and an
intelligent Back-up Rate (iBR) for efficacy,
synchrony and comfort
• Intelligently targets alveolar
ventilation, accounting for anatomical
dead space to ventilate the patient
more effectively
• Provides an iBR when required,
to help maintain or restore synchrony
during or after events such as
coughing and sighing
Personalised: the Learn Targets feature
for easy and individualised set-up
• Learns the patient’s alveolar
ventilation and sets targets accordingly
• Learns the patient’s spontaneous
respiratory rate and uses this
as input for the iBR
• Minimises the need for constant
manual adjustment, while enabling
clinicians to review and accept or
change recommended target settings
Automatic: adaptable pressure support
and an iBR for the patient’s changing
ventilation needs
• Automatically adjusts the pressure
support to achieve and maintain
the target alveolar ventilation;
constantly monitors the patient’s
actual ventilation in relation to the
target ventilation
• Automatically determines when an
iBR is required; constantly monitors
the patient’s actual respiratory rate in
relation to the target rate
• Adapts to the patient’s changing
needs, such as during different stages
of sleep
iVAPS* (intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support)
* iVAPS mode is for patients 30 kg and above.
