When using a humidifier check the breathing system regularly for accumulated water.
Note: When the mask type is set to Trach, the Non-Vented Mask alarm will be 
automatically enabled to alert you when the ResMed Leak Valve has no vent holes or when 
the vent holes are blocked. 

Connect the power cord.

Plug the free end of the power cord into a power outlet. 

Connect the antibacterial filter firmly onto the air outlet of the device. 

Connect the external humidifier to the other side of the antibacterial filter.

 

*If not using an external humidifier, the HMEF can be connected to the ResMed Leak Valve 
(at step 9). 

Connect the air tubing to the external humidifier.

Connect the ResMed Leak Valve to the air tubing. Position the ResMed Leak Valve so that 
air from the vent holes does not blow directly onto the patient's chest.

Always set up the ResMed Leak Valve in the breathing circuit with the arrows and the 

symbol  

 pointing in the direction of air flow from the Stellar to the patient.

Select the mask type Trach (select Setup menu, then Clinical Settings, then Advanced 
Settings).

Perform Learn Circuit (see “Setup menu: Options” on page 16).

If an external humidifier is not being used, you can connect the HMEF to the patient side 
of the ResMed Leak Valve.

Connect the catheter mount.

** The ResMed Leak Valve or the HMEF can be connected to standardised tracheostomy 
interfaces including connector pieces like catheter mounts. 

The catheter mount and the external humidifier are not part of the ResMed component.
