Compatibility

The DreamStation Go Humidifier is only compatible with the DreamStation Go CPAP machines. It is not compatible with any other CPAP therapy machines.

Upgrading DreamStation Go Machine Firmware

Before using your new Heated Humidifier, you'll need to program the Philips DreamStation Go CPAP machine to recognize the humidifier and activate the controls for it. This is done by updating the firmware, using an included MicroSD card. Philips includes the instructions for how to update your CPAP device with the MicroSD card.

Steps for Updating the Firmware

1. Insert the supplied microSD card into the slot on the left side of the DreamStation Go. Do not connect the humidifier first, as this will result in an error.
2. Ensure the card is fully engaged by using the filter to push the card into the slot.
3. Power on the device and wait for the upgrade screen to appear. This could take anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes.
4. The message will default to the "No". You'll need to swipe to the "Yes" option.
5. Select the "Yes" option, and the firmware update will take place.
6. Once the firmware update is complete, you can connect the heated humidifier to the DreamStation Go.

How to Adjust Humidifier Settings

1. On the home screen, tap the humidifier icon in the lower left-hand corner of the DreamStation Go. It looks like three vertical wavy lines.
2. The arrows to the left and right increase or decrease heater temperature.
3. Tap done when finished.

Traveling With the Humidifier

• Please remember to drain all water from the humidifier before transporting. The machine is not waterproof, and transporting with water can cause damage to the humidifier and the machine.
• The humidifier can be transported safely while connected to the DreamStation Go in the Medium Travel Kit and the humidifier is empty and dry.

Cleaning the Humidifier Chamber

Cleaning the heated humidifier chamber is a little different on this model than it is on other CPAPs. The bottom and top pieces of the humidifier tank separate. The bottom piece is dishwasher safe, but the top piece is not.

WARNING: Placing the entire humidifier chamber in the dishwasher could result in damage or loss of the item. DO NOT place both pieces in the dishwasher.

Here are the steps for cleaning the humidifier chamber.

Washing the Bottom of the Chamber

1. Separate the two pieces of the DreamStation Go's Heated Humidifier.
2. Wash the bottom with warm, soapy water daily. Once a week, you can wash the bottom of the humidifier in a dishwasher.
3. When finished allow the tank to air dry.

Washing the Lid

1. Separate the two pieces.
2. Wash the lid with warm, soapy water. Do this once a day. Do not place in the dishwasher.
3. The lid has extra pieces that need washing too, such as the hose connection. Be sure to clean all parts of the lid with warm soapy water.
4. When finished, allow to air dry.
