Meeting the demands of fast-paced hospitals
Stellar 100 and Stellar 150 are packed
with technologies to deliver a versatile
ventilation solution, but not at the
expense of easy setup and use.
Taking into consideration the busy
hospital environment and typical
workflows, Stellar’s intuitive menus
simplify the setup process, while
its real-time data display makes
monitoring quick and always available.
Continuous monitoring at-a-glance
Stellar’s large colour LCD screen displays essential
data (such as pressure and flow curves, leak, tidal
volume, SpO2 and FiO2) in real-time. And for even
greater insight, high-resolution (25Hz) flow and
pressure data is also available via the ResScan™
patient management software.
Access critical setup options
quickly and easily
Critical setup options like Learn
Circuit and Mask Type are now
also displayed on the first clinical
menu screen you see, so you
can access important settings
immediately.
Choose optimised settings using
Pathology Defaults
A number of values are pre-set
and organised by disease
category to help facilitate
therapy initiation. By optimising
settings per condition, staff are
given an accurate starting point,
from which they can quickly
fine-tune (if necessary) to
suit the individual patient’s
specific needs.
Delivering optimal therapy to many types of patients
Providing the modes you’d expect to see for
excellent positive pressure ventilation, Stellar
also includes the auto-adjusting, volume-
assured mode, iVAPS, with an intelligent
Backup Rate, and optional AutoEPAP feature
– delivering what we call IntelligentAir.*
IntelligentAir continuously monitors and automatically
adjusts to deliver personalised therapy to patients with
changing ventilatory needs.
intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure
Support (iVAPS): Targets each patient’s
alveolar ventilation.
intelligent Backup Rate (iBR): Provides backup
breaths only when needed to give patients
a chance to spontaneously trigger the ventilator.
AutoEPAP: Auto-adjusts the expiratory
pressure in response to partial and full
upper airway obstructions.
* iVAPS with AutoEPAP is only available on Stellar 150
Flexible therapy options
Integrated oxygen: up to 30 L/min
High pressure delivery: up to 40 cm H2O at the mask
Extensive alarms: including FiO2 and SpO2 to provide
added assurance for ‘at risk’ patients
Paediatric use: for children weighing down to as little
as 13 kg
Pass-over or CounterStream™ humidification: heated
humidification with the H4i™ or HumiCare™ D900
Dual programs: set and save up to two programs per
patient for day/night ventilation or rest/active periods
Personalised efficacy and comfort: using the following
features, you can easily fine-tune settings on a patient-to-
patient basis

fall times

Transitioning home and staying mobile
Stellar has been thoughtfully engineered
to not only streamline patient setup, but
also streamline a patient’s transition to
NIV therapy at home.
Small, lightweight and portable, Stellar is a suitable
ventilator for patients to return home with, fitting in
seamlessly with their lifestyle as they move about
and carry on with their daily activities.
Powered to move
Stellar gives patients who need extended ventilation the
freedom to move – whether in hospital, at home or beyond.
