Programs
Programs on the Astral device can be configured by your clinician to provide you with alternate treatment
options. For example, a clinician can set up programs for sleeping versus daytime use, or for use during
exercise or physiotherapy. Programs allow for different circuit, ventilation and alarm settings.
The Astral device comes with one standard active program. Your clinician can configure up to three
additional programs (if available).
If any additional programs have been set up by your physician, they can be selected for use from the
Patient home screen. You can change between programs while the Astral device is delivering ventilation.
Changing between programs will cause ventilation and alarm settings to change, as configured by your
clinician.
