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 (CO
2
) 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.
