Stellar 150 iVAPS Intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support

The Stellar 100/150 is intended to provide ventilation for non-dependent, spontaneously
breathing adult and paediatric patients (13 kg and above) with respiratory insufficiency, or
respiratory failure, with or without obstructive sleep apnoea. The device is for noninvasive
use, or invasive use (with the use of the ResMed Leak Valve).
Operation of the device
includes both stationary, such as in hospital, such as wheelchair usage.

The Stellar is contraindicated in patients who are unable to endure more than brief interruptions in ventilation. The Stellar is not a life support ventilator. If you have any of the following conditions, tell your doctor before using this device:

• pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum
• pathologically low blood pressure, particularly if associated with intravascular volume depletion
• cerebrospinal fluid leak, recent cranial surgery or trauma
• severe bullous lung disease
• dehydration.

The use of the Stellar or pulse oximetry (including XPOD) is contraindicated in an MRI environment.
AutoEPAP1 is contraindicated for invasive use.

You should report unusual chest pain, severe headache or increased breathlessness to
your prescribing physician.
The following side effects may arise during the course of noninvasive ventilation with the
device:

• drying of the nose, mouth or throat
• nosebleed
• bloating
• ear or sinus discomfort
• eye irritation
• skin rashes.
