INTRODUCTION
BIPAP SYNCHRONY VENTILATORY SUPPORT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The BiPAP Synchrony, shown in Figure A, is a low-pressure, electronically driven ventilator system
with electronic pressure control. The device’s pressure controls are adjusted to deliver pressure
support for patient ventilatory assistance.
FIGURE A: BIPAP SYNCHRONY DEVICE

The BiPAP Synchrony is intended to augment patient breathing by supplying pressurized air through a
patient circuit. It senses the patient’s breathing effort by monitoring airflow in the patient circuit and
adjusts its output to assist in inhalation and exhalation. This assistance is provided by the
administration of two levels of positive pressure. During exhalation, pressure is variably positive or
near ambient. During inspiration, pressure is variably positive and always equal to or higher than the
expiratory level.
The BiPAP Synchrony responds reliably to patient flow rates that indicate movement to inhalation or
exhalation, even in the presence of most normal leaks in the patient circuit. Automatic adjustment of
this trigger threshold in the presence of leaks makes the system ideal for mask-applied ventilation
assistance. The patient-controllable Rise Time and Bi-Flex features may enhance patient-ventilator
synchrony and patient comfort.
The BiPAP Synchrony operates in the following modes: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP),
Spontaneous (S), Spontaneous/Timed (S/T), Timed (T), and Pressure Control (PC).
In the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) mode, the BiPAP Synchrony delivers continuous
pressure support ventilation at one pressure level.
In the Spontaneous (S) mode, the BiPAP Synchrony delivers bi-level pressure support. The device
triggers to Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) in response to spontaneous inspiratory effort
and cycles to Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) during exhalation. The level of pressure
support delivered is determined by the difference between the IPAP and EPAP settings. The
Spontaneous/Timed (S/T) mode of the BiPAP Synchrony is similar to the S mode, except that it also
can deliver a machine-triggered breath if the patient does not spontaneously breathe within a set time.
1032407, REV. 00 INTRODUCTION - PAGE 1

The S/T mode ensures that patients receive a minimum number of breaths per minute based on the
Rate setting. If the patient fails to initiate an inspiration within the interval determined by the Rate
control, the unit triggers a timed (or machine-triggered) breath resulting in a pressure-control
(pressure-limited, time-cycled) breath at the set IPAP level. The rate of timed breaths is adjustable.
The duration of each timed breath is controlled by an Inspiratory Time control.
The Timed mode provides mandatory pressure assist. All breaths are machine triggered and machine
cycled. The patient breathing has no affect on this machine. The triggering is determined by the
Breath Rate control. The cycle time is determined by the Inspiratory Control.
The PC mode is equivalent to the S/T mode except that all breaths are machine cycled and, therefore,
have a fixed inspiratory time. This mode is a pressure limited, machine or patient triggered, time
cycled mode. The patient may initiate a breath, but all breaths are pressure limited (IPAP) and time-
cycled. The cycle time is determined by the Inspiratory Time control setting.
AVAPS is available in the S, S/T, Timed and PC modes. AVAPS provides dynamic IPAP control. The
IPAP pressure is dynamically controlled so that exhaled tidal volumes approach the Vte control value.
AVAPS provides gradual pressure changes to compensate for the tidal volume error observed over
several preceding breaths.
The BiPAP Synchrony provides the Bi-Flex feature in S mode. The Bi-Flex attribute adjusts therapy by
inserting a small amount of pressure relief during the latter stages of inspiration and during active
exhalation (the beginning part of exhalation).
The device incorporates a user interface made up of a Ramp Button, Humidifier Button, Alarm Reset
Button, Alarm Silence Button, Scroll Button, and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). A pressure On/Off
push-button is located on the side of the unit.

can be positioned to direct the air flow away
from your device.

RAMP FEATURE
BiPAP Synchrony is equipped with a linear ramp function. The ramp feature will reduce the pressure
and then gradually increase (ramp) the pressure to the prescription pressure setting so patients can
fall asleep more comfortably.
DIGITAL AUTO-TRAK SENSITIVITY

An important characteristic of the BiPAP Synchrony is its ability to recognize and compensate for
unintentional leaks in the system and to automatically adjust its trigger and cycle algorithms to
maintain optimum performance in the presence of leaks. This feature is known as Digital Auto-Trak
Sensitivity. The following sections examine this function in detail by describing the leak tolerance
function and sensitivity.
LEAK TOLERANCE
A microprocessor monitors the total flow of the patient circuit and calculates patient flow values. The
BiPAP Synchrony uses two leak estimation algorithms. A conservation of mass algorithm is used to
compute the average leak for a given pressure support relationship. This average leak is a high
estimate during EPAP pressure and a low estimate during IPAP pressure.
A better leak estimate, enabled by the digital system, is the parabolic leak algorithm. Parabolic leak is
proportional to the square of the patient pressure; therefore, the leak estimate is correlated to the
changing patient pressure. Both algorithms include unintentional circuit leak and are averaged over
several breaths.
The total circuit flow is comprised of the circuit leak and the patient flow. The calculated patient flow is
the circuit flow minus the circuit leak. Patient flow is a primary input into the triggering and cycling
mechanisms.
SENSITIVITY
An essential feature of the BiPAP Synchrony while operating in the S and S/T modes is its ability to
effectively sense spontaneous breathing efforts, which causes the unit to trigger IPAP and cycle to
EPAP. Because no preset sensitivity threshold can assure patient and machine synchrony with
changing breathing efforts and circuit leaks, the BiPAP Synchrony continuously tracks patient
breathing patterns and automatically adjusts sensitivity thresholds to ensure optimum sensitivity as
breathing patterns change or as circuit leaks change. The algorithms used to ensure optimum
sensitivity are the Volume Trigger/Cycle, Shape Trigger, Flow Reversal and Spontaneous Expiratory
Threshold (SET).
The shape trigger/cycle is another method used to trigger IPAP and/or cycle from IPAP to EPAP during
spontaneous breathing in the S and S/T modes. This method continuously tracks patient inspiratory
and expiratory flow and adjusts the spontaneous trigger and cycle thresholds for optimum sensitivity.
The Shape Signal appears as a shadow image of the patient’s actual flow. The shape signal functions
as a sensitivity threshold at either inspiration or expiration. When the patient’s flow rate crosses the
shape signal, the unit changes pressure levels. The shape signal is created by offsetting the signal
from the actual patient flow by 15 lpm and delaying it for a 300 ms period. This intentional delay
causes the shape signal to be slightly behind the patient’s flow rate. A sudden change in patient flow
will cross the shape signal, causing the pressure level to change.
A second method used to cycle off IPAP during spontaneous breathing in the S and S/T modes is
called Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (SET). The SET rises in proportion to the inspiratory flow
rate on each breath. When the SET and actual patient flow value are equal, the unit cycles to EPAP.

A maximum IPAP time of 3.0 seconds acts as a safety mechanism to limit the time spent at the IPAP
level during spontaneous breathing in the S and S/T modes. Once the time limit is reached, the unit
automatically cycles off IPAP to the EPAP level.
As flow begins to decrease during IPAP, a flow reversal can occur due to a large leak around the mask
or because the patient’s mouth is open. When the BiPAP Synchrony unit senses this flow reversal, the
unit automatically cycles to the EPAP level.

THEORY OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
This chapter describes the operation of the BiPAP Synchrony Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA).
Operation of the various circuits on the board are explained.
MAIN PRINTED CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY (PCA)

The Main PCA is the computer control center of the BiPAP Synchrony. A microcontroller reads and
writes to various I/O devices such as the control pad, LCD, memory chips, pressure and flow sensors
and motor control circuitry. The microcontroller will make appropriate adjustments to the valve and
blower using this information to deliver the desired therapy to the patient.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
There are two 3 pin power din connectors on the back of the BiPAP Synchrony. They will accept the
bulk voltage on pin 1 from either an external AC/DC 60W Respironics’ power supply or an external DC/
DC Respironics’ power supply with the mating connector. Pin 2 is the return on both connectors. Pin
3 is a multi-purpose pin. It is floating when the AC/DC converter is connected. It is connected to the
battery voltage to read on internal ADC channel 0. When the AC/DC converter is used, the bulk
voltage will range from 24 to 28 VDC (read on internal ADC channel 4). When the DC/DC converter is
used, the voltage will be less than 23 VDC.
5 VOLT SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY

5 Volts is needed throughout the Main PCA for logic circuits. U16 is a simple switcher which produces
a 5V output from the bulk voltage. The input cap, C45, is oversized and serves both as an input filter
for the bulk voltage at the input connector and the high frequency input cap for this switcher. The
output cap, C79, maintains the output ripple voltage below 50 mV. L2 allows 2A output currents
comfortably due to its size.
+12V REGULATOR
U18 produces the 12 Volts needed to bias the flow sensor and it is also used as the positive rail for the
analog circuitry and the operational amplifiers of the valve controller.
-15V SWITCHING CIRCUIT

A negative power supply is created by using an output from the microcontroller switching current
through resistor R186 and capacitor C80. This negative voltage is used as the negative rail for the
analog circuitry and valve controller operational amplifiers.
+3.3V REGULATOR
The core and I/O of the microcontroller are driven by 3.3 volts. Voltage regulator U12 creates this
voltage from the 5V power supply.
DIGITAL CIRCUITRY
MICROCONTROLLER U2
The microcontroller, U2, has a high-performance 32 bit RISC architecture. The 176 pin device
contains an external address and data bus interface, an eight level external interrupt controller, 58
programmable I/O lines, six 16 bit timers, 3 UARTs, a 3 wire SPI interface, an eight channel 10 bit
ADC, a two channel 10 bit DAC, an on chip oscillator and PLL for multiplication, a real time clock, a
1032410, REV. 00 THEORY OF OPERATION - PAGE 1

JTAG interface for boundry scans and a power management controller for sleep and wakeup
operations.
The core and I/O ports of the microcontroller use 3.3 V connected at several pins shown on the
schematic.
There is an eight channel successive approximation Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) on this
microcontroller. Channels AD0 through AD7 are all in use.
When power is initially supplied to the chip, the main oscillator is off until the PLL is enabled. Until this
is done, the chip is clocked off of the 32.768 kHz crystal, Y2. The main oscillator takes the output from
fundamental crystal, Y1 and is capable of multiplying this frequency up to 33 MHz.
The computer uses the watch crystal (Y2) and a lithium battery (B1) to maintain an internal clock that
consumes very little power. The lithium coin cell battery (B1) provides a minimum of 17 years of
battery life for the Main PCA.
The main board uses both channels of the two channel 10 bit DAC to control motor speed and set the
output pressure controlled by the valve sleeve. The range of the output voltage is 0 to 3.3V. The
motor speed command is a calibrated non-linear relationship between RPM and DAC counts.
This device features a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) that communicates with external devices in
either master or slave mode. Two external devices on the board use this type of communication, the
EEPROM (U1) and the ADC (U11). The microcontroller provides three universal sychronous/
asynchronous receiver/transmitters. The zero transmitter, TXD0, is used for communication with the
humidifier. TXD1 and RXD1 are used for two way communications with a PC via the SleepLink card or
to communicate with an external smart modem.
IR COMMUNICATION LINK FOR THE INTEGRATED HUMIDIFIER

The BiPAP Synchrony communicates serially via an infrared LED with the integrated humidifier that
cradles the enclosure. The LED (CR3) transmits 2 wire serial commands to an IR detector inside the
humidifier to turn on, turn off and adjust the water temperature in the humidifier.
8KBIT EEPROM
Eight thousand bits of memory are provided on this board for the storage of therapy parameters in U1.
4MBITS OF PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY

IC, U4 contains 512 kbytes of non-volatile Flash memory that is programmed and operated with 3.3V.
This chip contains the application software.
128 KBYTES OF ASYNCHRONOUS SRAM

U5 has 128 kbytes of static ram which allows for the freedom and complexity of the application code.
This chip is designed for 3V operation.
WATCHDOG SUPERVISOR
An external supervisory chip, U3, monitors the 3.3 Volts. When the voltage approaches 2.93 V the
chip will protect the Flash Chip by resetting the processor before the voltage reaches a level too low for
the Flash and also shuts down the processor while the core voltage is dropping.

The main control board uses two sensors to monitor pressure amplitudes, MT4 or MT5 and MT3 or
MT1. MT4 or MT5 is connected to the outlet pressure and MT3 or MT1 is connected at the blower.
(Type of sensor used on the PCA will determine the MT locations used.)
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR

The BiPAP Synchrony uses a 15psia pressure sensor. The sensor, MT6, is used to provide altitude
compensation for volumetric flow calculations. It is a 0 to 15 psia sensor with temperature
compensation and calibrated zero and span.
BI-DIRECTIONAL MASS FLOW SENSOR

The main board uses mass flow sensor (MT2). The sensor uses the thermal properties of air to qualify
the mass of a gas passing through the element. The sensing elements are seated on a heater
element and are normally at some temperature above the ambient. As flow passes over the first
element, which can be called the upstream element, it cools this element and at the same time picks
up heat. Between the two elements the gas picks up more heat as it traverses the heater and finally
adds its newly acquired heat to the downstream element. The two elements are thermistors that when
placed in a Wheat-stone bridge configuration, produce an output voltage proportional to the mass of
the airflow.
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL
A brushless DC motor is used in the BiPAP Synchrony to spin the impeller used to generate the
pressure for therapy. The BiPAP Synchrony uses a valve to control the patient pressure but the blower
provides a deadhead pressure above the maximum pressure setpoint.
SENSORLESS MOTOR CONTROLLER

The motor control chip (U9) runs off of the regulated +12 Volt power. When a motor speed command
voltage is present and the BRAKE signal goes from high to low, the unit aligns the motor, ramps the
motor in open loop control mode and then senses crossing from the phase windings to commutate the
motor at the command speed.
MOTOR SPEED CONTROL

The DAC command from the microcontroller is a 0 to 3.3 volt signal and the signal is doubled by the
Op-amp (U7). It is filtered by R85 and C39 to prevent noise on the signal. The speed command is
virtually linear up until the command voltage reaches 6 volts and then it begins to flatten (less speed
for changing voltage). The range of speed commands is from zero to the 6.9V reference voltage.
BRAKING AND STARTING CIRCUITRY

The BRAKE output from the microcontroller commands both the BRAKE and the reset (CRST) pins.
When the brake is released, Q10 and Q11 are both switched off. When these two pins are left floating,
the chip enters the reset state by turning on two of the high side drivers (Q8 and Q21) and one of the
low side drivers (Q9). This has the effect of aligning the motor 30 degrees before the first commutation
state. While this is happening, the unit is switching in and out of current limit and the capacitor C40 is
charging up by a small output current from the CRST pin and the additional current supplied by +12
Volts through R89. When the voltage on C40 exceeds 1.5 Volts, the chip enters the ramp mode. In
ramp mode, the chip begins the commutation sequence and increases the rate of the sequence while
charging both the ramp capacitor, and the PLL filter components. When the ramp capacitor, C38
reaches 1.5 Volts, the motor has enough speed for sensing and closed loop control.

SLEEVE VALVE
The sleeve valve of the BiPAP Synchrony controls with good response time and stability. The valve is
a linear DC motor with a slitted sleeve sliding over ports in the stationary barrel. One of the ports is
pneumatically connected to the blower pressure and the other is an exhaust outlet. There is always a
nominal flow through the annulas between the two concentric parts that provides additional stability
and an air bearing. The sleeve is wound with copper wire and a magnet is attached to the inner
diameter of the barrel to provide a perpendicular bi-directional force.
VALVE CONTROLLER
The command is a voltage generated from the microcontroller DAC channel 1. When a pressure is
requested, the voltage generated from the DAC is multiplied by 1.499 by the amp, U23 with R146 and
R147. MT4 or MT3 produces a pressure feedback signal through an amplifier U28. This signal is
subtracted from the command pressure with U22A and the difference or error signal U22 pin 1 is the
input to the sleeve controller. The output of the controller network is delivered to the valve driver/
amplifier U24. U24 takes a 5V analog input signal and drives a voltage out that can swing from -5V to
5V across the valve coil. 2.5V corresponds to zero voltage and current.
USER INTERFACE
SOFT KEY WITH PUSH BUTTONS
The board has seven pills to detect keypresses. The pull-up resistors, R20, R22, R23, R24, R41,
R129, and R130 are used for this circuit. The BiPAP Synchrony has a Scroll key that allows the user
to scroll through different measured parameters. The pullup resistor for the Scroll key is R41. Four
white LED’s CR1, CR2, CR10, and CR11 are illuminated by switching Q1. All four are turned on and
off together.
DISPLAY DRIVER AND LCD

The backlighting for the display is switched on through Q27 and the current is set by R227. All
displays are driven by display drives U6 and U15. Both chips run off of 3.3 Volts. The clock output can
be found on pin 4.
POWER FAIL CIRCUITRY

When power is removed from the unit, but the on/off button remains in the on position, the unit will
enter power fail mode. Voltage is held up by C57. This voltage is boosted and regulated by U15 to
provide a fixed loudness. As the capacitor drains, Q26 and Q25 with the surrounding circuitry provide
an astable vibrator to provide a 2 second on / 2 second off alarm. The red LED remains on
continuously. Power fail on the board is detected by the existence or lack of +5 Volts.

REQUIRED, ALTERNATE, AND OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

This section addresses the required, alternate, and optional circuit accessories that can be used with
the BiPAP Synchrony. For additional information, refer to the literature supplied with the accessory
WARNING
The BiPAP Synchrony requires an intentional leak port, either built into the mask or
on a separate exhalation device (e.g., Whisper Swivel II, Disposable Exhalation
Valve) to remove exhaled air from the circuit. Therefore, specific masks and
circuits using an intentional leak port are required for normal operation. The
pressurized air from the BiPAP Synchrony causes a continuous flow of air to
exhaust from the leak port to flush the exhaled air from the circuit. The BiPAP
Synchrony should be turned on and the intentional leak port should be checked
before using the device.
WARNING
At low CPAP and bi-level pressures, the air flow through the exhalation ports may
not be enough to clear all of the exhaled gas (CO2) from the mask. Patients may
breathe in some of the air that they exhaled. DO NOT block or try to seal the
exhalation ports in the circuit.

ALARM INTRODUCTION
This section describes the BiPAP Synchrony alarms, how to set them, and what corrective actions to
take for the alarm conditions.
The BiPAP Synchrony provides three alarm levels: high, medium, and low priority.
High Priority: These alarms require immediate operator response. The alarm signal consists of a
red LED and a high priority sound. The display has the message ALARM at the top of the screen.
Medium Priority: These alarms require prompt operator response. The alarm signal consists of a
yellow LED and a medium priority sound. The display has the message ALARM at the top of the
screen.
Low Priority: These alarms require operator awareness. The alarm signal consists of a yellow
LED and a low priority sound. The display has the message ALARM at the top of the screen.
FIGURE A: BIPAP SYNCHRONY ALARM LEDS AND BUTTONS

OVERVIEW OF ALARM BEHAVIOR
Alarm conditions are signalled by the BiPAP Synchrony in three ways: sound, an LED, and a display
message. Each signal type behaves differently depending on the type of alarm.
ALARM SOUND BEHAVIOR

HIGH PRIORITY SOUNDS
The BiPAP Synchrony has two possible high priority sounds.
• High Priority - The sound repeats a pattern of three beeps followed by a pause and then two
more beeps until the Silence or Reset button is pressed. The silence period is one minute.
This pattern is indicated as ••• ••
• Loss of Power - The sound repeats a pattern of one beep followed by a two second pause
periodically without user intervention. The Pressure On/Off button silences this alarm. The
Silence and Reset buttons and the LED control panel backlight do not apply to this alarm.
This pattern is indicated as:
MEDIUM PRIORITY SOUND

The medium priority sound repeats a pattern of three beeps every 20 seconds until the Silence or
Reset button is pressed. The silence period is one minute. This pattern is indicated as •••
LOW PRIORITY SOUND

The low priority sound repeats a pattern of two beeps every 30 seconds until the Silence or Reset
button is pressed. The audible alarm will not reoccur. This pattern is indicated as ••
SILENCE PERIOD
The silence period for all applicable alarms is one minute. When the alarm sound is silenced, a
flashing LED becomes continuous. If the alarm condition is not corrected by the end of the silence
period, the alarm sound is repeated; the LED will flash again. If a new high or medium priority alarm
condition occurs during this time, the appropriate LED flashes. New low priority alarms do not cause
the LED to flash.
NOTE
Pressing the Silence button while the silence period is active does not restart the silence
period.

ALARM LED BEHAVIOR
RED ALARM LED
The red alarm LED indicates high priority system and patient alarms. The LED flashes when a new
high priority alarm is detected. It changes from flashing to continuous when the alarm sound is
silenced or the alarm condition is corrected. The LED resumes flashing when the silence period
expires or if a new alarm occurs. The LED turns off when all high priority alarms with an automatic
reset method end and there are no high priority alarms with a manual reset method are active.
Additionally, the red LED turns off when you press the Reset button.
YELLOW ALARM LED

The yellow alarm LED indicates medium or low priority system and power alarms. The LED flashes
when a new medium priority alarm is detected. It changes from flashing to continuous when the alarm
sound is silenced or if the alarm condition is corrected. The LED resumes flashing when the silence
period expires or if a new alarm occurs. The LED turns off when all medium and low priority alarms
with an automatic reset method end and there are no medium or low priority alarms with a manual
reset method active. Additionally, the yellow alarm LED turns off when you press the Reset Button.
DISPLAY BEHAVIOR
For high, medium, and low priority alarms the display shows ALARM and the name of the alarm.
SYSTEM ALARMS
The BiPAP Synchrony has several system alarms:
• System Error
• Card Error
• Pressure Regulation High
• Pressure Regulation Low
• Low Pressure Support
SYSTEM ERROR ALARM

The System Error Alarm is a high priority alarm. It indicates that there is a problem with the device.
Unlike other high priority alarms, the red LED cannot be turned off because the alarm does not stop
until the power shuts down and is then restored. A three digit error code displays on the screen,
indicating the type of error (e.g., error code 57 displays as E57). When a system error occurs, the
BiPAP Synchrony’s LCD backlight is turned on and the blower and humidifier are off. Pressing the
Reset button only shuts off the audible alarm.

CARD ERROR ALARM

PATIENT ALARMS
The BiPAP Synchrony has the following patient alarms:
• Apnea
• Patient Disconnect
• Low Minute Ventilation
• Low Tidal Volume
APNEA ALARM
The Apnea Alarm is a high priority alarm that detects the sensation of spontaneous breathing. It
occurs when the time between spontaneous breaths exceeds the Apnea alarm time setting (10, 20, or
30 seconds). A setting of zero disables the Apnea Alarm. When an apnea alarm occurs, the APNEA
and ALARM icons flash on display and the LCD backlight is turned on. This alarm does not
automatically reset. Press the Reset button to manually reset the alarm.
PATIENT DISCONNECT ALARM

The Patient Disconnect Alarm is a high priority alarm. It occurs when the patient is disconnected from
the BiPAP Synchrony for the time specified in the Patient Disconnect alarm time setting (0, 15,or 60
seconds). When a patient disconnect alarm occurs, the Patient and ALARM icons flash on the display
and the LCD backlight is turned on. A setting of zero disables the Patient Disconnect alarm. This
alarm does not automatically reset. Press the Reset button to manually reset the alarm.
LOW MINUTE VENTILATION

The Low Minute Ventilation alarm is a high priority alarm. It occurs when the calculated minute
ventilation is less than or equal to the alarm setting. When a Low Minute Ventilation alarm occurs, the
Alarm and Min Vent icons flash on the display and the LCD backlight is turned on. This alarm does
not automatically reset. Press the reset button to manually reset the alarm.
NOTE
A setting of zero disables the Low Minute Ventilation alarm.

LOW TIDAL VOLUME ALARM
The Low Tidal Volume alarm is a high priority alarm. IT occurs when the calculated tidal volume is less
than 90% of the target tidal volume setting. When a Low Tidal Alarm occurs, the Alarm and VTE
symbols flash on the display and the LCD backlight is turned on. This alarm does not automatically
reset. Press the reset button to manually reset the alarm
NOTE
A setting of zero disables the Low Tidal Volume alarm.
POWER ALARMS

TESTING
TESTING PROCESS
This chapter provides run-in, calibration, AC current draw testing, and performance verification
procedures for the BiPAP Synchrony. Calibration and AC current draw testing are necessary only
when a repair has been made to the BiPAP Synchrony. However, these procedures may be used in
conjunction with the performance verification to determine that the BiPAP Synchrony is functioning
properly. Verification shall be performed at periodic intervals commensurate with hospital or home
care provider guidelines for preventive maintenance, between rentals or during normal patient usage.
Calibration and testing of the BiPAP Synchrony requires the use of Respironics Utility Software.
Before proceeding, log on to http://servicesoftware.respironics.com and download the Utility Software
onto your PC.
Calibration and testing can also be performed on the Multi-function Test Station at service locations
equipped with this device.
BIPAP SYNCHRONY SYSTEM RUN-IN

Before the BiPAP Synchrony can be calibrated, the device must be run-in for at least 2 hours to avoid
possible calibration failures.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
• 0.25” Test Orifice (RI p/n 332353)
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the test orifice to the outlet port of the unit.
2. Enter the therapy setup menu (refer to the System Setup Porcedures Section for detailed
instructions). Set the unit to CPAP mode and set the pressure to 20 cm H2O.
3. Run the unit for at least 2 hours before performing the calibration.
PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
This procedure provides guidelines to verify the performance of the BiPAP Synchrony.
PROCEDURE
1. Record the Serial Number and Model Number of the unit located on the bottom enclosure
on the test data sheet (refer to page 22).
2. Plug the BiPAP Synchrony power source in and record the line voltage used for testing
and the blower hours on the test data sheet (refer to page 22).
3. Place the BiPAP test orifice (RI p/n 332353) on the outlet of the unit. Connect a Digital
Manometer to the test orifice.
a. Enter the provider menu of the BiPAP Synchrony.
b. Set the BiPAP Synchrony to the CPAP mode and the pressure to 4 cm H2O. Verify
the pressure reading and record it on the test data sheet.
c. Set the BiPAP Synchrony to 20 cm H2O. Verify the pressure reading and record it on
the test data sheet.
1032447, REV. 00 TESTING & CALIBRATION - PAGE 1

d. Set the BiPAP Synchrony to the S mode and set the IPAP pressure to 10 cm H2O and
EPAP pressure to 5 cm H2O.
e. Using your finger, occlude and unocclude the outlet and verify that the BiPAP Syn-
chrony is switching between IPAP and EPAP mode on the display screen. Record
results on the test data sheet.
f. Set the BiPAP Synchrony to the S/T mode and set the IPAP pressure to 10 cm H2O,
EPAP pressure to 5 cm H2O, BPM to 10 and the Ti time to 2.0.
g. Verify that the BiPAP Synchrony is switching between IPAP and EPAP mode on the
display screen and record the results on the test data sheet.
h. While still in the provider menu, activate the ramp mode.
i. Once the BiPAP Synchrony has achieved the set IPAP and EPAP pressure, press the
ramp button.
j. Observe the display and the manometer reading until the pressure increases at least
1 cm H2O in approximately 1 minute. Record results on test data sheet.
REAL-TIME CLOCK CALIBRATION

The BiPAP Synchrony will record and track several different parameters (e.g. patient pressures, apnea
events, when and how the device is used, error codes, etc.). To do this in a logical manner and for a
technician or therapist to know exactly when a certain event has occurred, the BiPAP Synchrony runs
and records events in real-time. This time is checked and compared to your computers time when
running the calibration software. If the time does not match, the calibration will fail. Therefore, you
must perform the real-time clock calibration before you proceed with the BiPAP Synchrony calibration.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
