For a full list of accessories that can be used with this device, see the DreamStation 2 accessory list at www.philips.com/IFU. Contact your home care service provider for additional information on the available accessories. When using optional accessories, always follow the instructions enclosed with the accessories.\nYou can order accessories for the dreamstation online. Home health professionals can order accessories at https://www.homehealth.estore.philips.com/. Hospital professionals can order at https://www.patientcare.shop.philips.com/.\n\n\n2. Device Setup\n\nPlace the device on a firm, flat surface somewhere within easy reach of where you will use it at a level lower than your sleeping position. Make sure the device is away from any heating or cooling equipment (e.g., forced air vents, radiators, air conditioners). Note: When positioning the device, make sure that the power cable is accessible because removing power is the only way to turn off the device.\n\nCautions\n\u2022 Make sure the air inlet (slotted) area on the side of the device is not blocked by bedding, curtains, or other items. Air must flow freely around the device for the system to work properly.\n\u2022 Do not place the device directly onto carpet, fabric, or other flammable materials.\n\u2022 Do not place the device in or on any container that can collect or hold water.\n\nSupplying AC power to the device\n\nWarning: Periodically inspect electrical cords and cables for damage or signs of wear. Discontinue use and replace if damaged.\nCaution: Do not use extension cords with this device.\n\nComplete the following steps to operate the device using AC power and refer to the following images in the manual for guidance:\n1. Ensure that the humidifier tank is empty.\n2. Plug the power supply cord\u2019s connector into the power inlet on the bottom of the device. For convenience, the power connection allows for the cord to connect and route in the direction that works best for your setup. An inset area on the bottom of the device allows the cord to be routed under the device.\n3. Plug the socket end of the AC power cord into the power supply\n4. Plug the pronged end of the AC power cord into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.\n5. Verify that the connections on the bottom of the device, at the power supply, and at the electrical outlet are fully inserted. This will help to ensure that a secure, reliable electrical connection has been made.\n\nImportant: To remove AC power, disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.\n\nSetting up the integrated humidifier\n\nWarning: Allow the humidifier heater plate and water to cool down for approximately 15 minutes before removing the water tank. A burn may result from: touching the heater plate, coming in contact with the heated water, or touching the tank pan.\n\nCautions\n\u2022 Do not attempt to fill the tank while it is still attached to the device.\n\u2022 Use only room temperature distilled water in the tank. Do not put any chemicals or additives into the water. Possible airway irritation or damage to the water tank may result.\n\u2022 Do not fill the water tank above the maximum fill line. If the water tank is overfilled, water may leak into the therapy device, humidifier, or onto your furniture. Damage to the humidifier or therapy device may occur.\n\nNote: Clean the humidifier water tank before first use. Refer to the \u201cHome cleaning: humidifier water tank\u201d section in this manual.\n\nRemoving the humidifier water tank\n1. Gently press down on the indented area on the top of the humidifier water tank to unlatch the tank from the device.\n2. Grip the top and bottom of the humidifier water tank and slide it out away from the device.\n3. Remove the lid by pulling up on the lid tab while holding the water tank base.\n4. Pour out any remaining water and rinse the water tank base.\n\nFilling and connecting the water tank\n1. Place the water tank base on a firm, flat surface. Fill the water tank with distilled water no higher than the maximum fill lines, which are located on the back and sides of the water tank base.\n2. Reattach the lid. Place the hooks on the lid 1 over the small tabs on the water tank base.\n3. Press down 3 until the lid snaps securely over the lid front tab 4 on the front of the water tank base.\n4. Slide the humidifier water tank back into the device, using the tracks on the bottom of the water tank base for proper alignment and connection. Ensure that it is latched into place before proceeding.\n\nInstalling/replacing the air filters\n\nCaution: A properly installed, undamaged Philips Respironics reusable pollen filter is required for proper operation.\n\nThe device uses a grey reusable pollen filter that can be rinsed and a blue disposable ultrafine filter. The reusable filter screens out normal household dust and pollens, while the ultrafine filter provides more complete filtration of very fine particles. The reusable filter must be in place at all times when the device is operating. The ultra-fine filter is recommended for people who are sensitive to tobacco smoke or other small particles. The grey reusable filter is supplied with the device. A disposable blue ultra-fine filter may also be included. If a filter is not installed when you receive your device, you must at least install the reusable filter before using the device.\n\n1. Remove the humidifier water tank from the device. See the \u201cRemoving the humidifier water tank\u201d section later in this manual.\n2. To remove an existing filter, pull the white tab on the end of the filter and pull the filter out of the device\n3. If applicable, place a dry, grey reusable pollen filter on top of a new, optional disposable blue ultra-fine filter, align the arrows on both filters, and firmly snap them together.\n4. Place the filter into the therapy device.\n5. Reinstall the humidifier water tank.\n\nConnecting the breathing circuit\nTo use the system, you will need the following accessories in order to assemble the recommended breathing circuit:\n\u2022 Philips Respironics interface (nasal mask or full face mask) with integrated exhalation port, or Philips Respironics interface with a separate exhalation device (such as the Whisper Swivel II)\n\u2022 Philips Respironics flexible tubing (12, 15, or 22 mm standard tubing or 12 or 15 mm heated tubing), 1.83 m (6 ft.)\n\u2022 Philips Respironics headgear (for the mask)\n\nWarnings\n\u2022 Do not pull or stretch the tubing. This could result in circuit leaks.\n\u2022 Inspect the tubing for damage or wear. Discard and replace the tubing as necessary.\n\u2022 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.\n\u2022 If the device is used by multiple persons (such as rental devices), a low-resistance, main flow bacteria filter should be installed in-line between the device and the circuit tubing to prevent contamination.\n\nTo connect your breathing circuit to the device, complete the following steps.\n\nNote: If you are using the optional 12 mm (non-heated) performance tubing, an adapter is required to connect to the therapy device.\nNote: Tubing is identified on the cuff with the tubing identifier symbol: \u201c12\u201d, \u201c15\u201d, \u201cHT12\u201d, or \u201cHT15\u201d. 22 mm tubing contains no symbol.\n\n1.Connect the flexible tubing to the air outlet on the therapy device. To connect heated tubing (shown), line up the pin connectors on the heated tube with the bottom of the air outlet port on the device. The clips at the end of the tubing should be aligned to the sides of the port.\n2. Press the heated tubing into place over the air outlet port until the tabs on the side of the tube click into place in the slots on the sides of the outlet port. If you are using standard tubing (not shown), simply slide the tubing over the air outlet port on the device.\n3. If you are using the optional 12 mm heated tubing or 12 mm performance tubing, connect the provided mask adapter to the mask connection end of the tubing. The 12mm performance tubing also requires a device adapter. When connecting the adapter to the CPAP, the clips should be aligned to the sides with the slight bump facing straight down.\n4. Connect the tubing to the mask. For proper placement and positioning, refer to the instructions that came with your mask.\n5. Attach the headgear to the mask if necessary. Refer to the instructions that came with your headgear.\n\nStarting the device\n1. Ensure power is supplied to the device as indicated by a white ring around the therapy button. The first screen to display is the Philips logo, followed by the device model screen. Once fully powered on, the screen displays \u201cTo begin therapy click below\u201d. Note: The device may prompt you to set the language and time.\n2. Put on your mask assembly. Refer to the instructions supplied with the mask. A small amount of mask leak is normal and acceptable. Correct large amount of mask leaks or eye irritation by adjusting your mask headgear. Note: If you are using the device in a bed with a headboard, try placing the tubing over the headboard. This may reduce tension on the mask.\n3. Press the Therapy button on top of the device to turn on airflow and begin therapy. The Therapy button ring will illuminate blue.Note: If your home care provider has enabled the Automatic On feature, the device will automatically turn the airflow on when you put on your mask and breathe.\n4. Press the Therapy button again to turn off the therapy. The Therapy button ring will illuminate white. Note: If your home care provider has enabled the Automatic Off feature, the device will automatically turn the airflow off when you take off your mask and the device recognizes inactivity.\n\nPerformance check\nTo initiate a performance check, unplug the device and plug it back in. An error will appear on the screen if a performance issue is detected.\n\nBluetooth wireless technology\nBluetooth wireless technology is one method by which you can transfer your therapy device\u2019s data to DreamMapper. DreamMapper is a mobile system designed to help Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients enhance their sleep therapy experience.\n\n\nPairing your therapy device to your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device\n\nNote: The blower must be off to allow Bluetooth pairing.\nNote: You can only pair your therapy device to one mobile device at any given time.\nNote: Pairing works best when your therapy device and mobile device are in the same room.\nNote: The current version of DreamMapper will guide you through these instructions.\nNote: After initiating pairing in DreamMapper, you will have 30 seconds to complete the setup. After this time, it will be cancelled automatically.\n\nFollow the steps below to manually pair to your mobile phone or tablet.\n1. With your therapy device powered up, initiate Bluetooth Setup from the DreamMapper mobile app. Note: From DreamMapper you may need to select from a list of available Bluetooth devices. The therapy device will appear as \u201cPR BT XXXX\u201d (XXXaX will be the last four digits of the serial number listed on your therapy device).\n2. The pairing code will display on the device.\n3. In DreamMapper, confirm the 6-digit pairing code displayed on the therapy device. Note: When pairing from certain mobile devices you may need to enter the 6-digit pairing code in DreamMapper. Once entered, pairing will automatically begin.\n4. Click the Therapy button to complete pairing. The therapy device displays \u201cPairing to Device\u201d and then \u201cSuccess Device Paired\u201d.\n\nTherapy On display\nWhile the device is delivering therapy, the prescription pressure or RAMP PLUS pressure is displayed.
