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.

O, 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.

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 H

ALIBRATION
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.
