3. Remove the pollen filter by gently pulling the edges of the filter. Rinse the filter in a steady
stream of running water. Squeeze out the water, and repeat. Allow the pollen filter to air
dry for 8 to 12 hours, or in a clothes dryer on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. If using the optional ultra-fine filter, place it into the filter area in the back of the BiPAP Syn-
chrony. Then place the pollen filter in line with the ultra-fine filter. Place the filter cap onto
the back of the unit.

The following Preventive Maintenance Schedule lists the items that must be inspected or tested
periodically, or after service is performed. Use the Preventive Maintenance Schedule to record the
dates on which the maintenance items are performed.
The Preventive Maintenance Schedule may be copied for each device serviced.
CAUTIONS
The pollen filter must be completely dry before use. Never place a wet filter into the device.
Respironics recommends that you clean the filter in the morning and alternate using the two
pollen filters provided with the system to ensure enough drying time for the cleaned filter.
DO NOT place both pollen filters into the device at the same time. One pollen filter and one
ultra-fine filter or one pollen filter may be used.
