ROCEDURE
1. Connect the adapted, spare BiPAP Synchrony Power cord to the BiPAP Synchrony Unit
and the other end to an AC outlet. Attach the Amprobe to the hot side of the adapted,
spare BiPAP Synchrony Power cord.
2. Place the test adapter on the outlet of the BiPAP Synchrony. Enter the Setup menu and
set the IPAP pressure to 25 cm H
2
O and EPAP to 25 cm H
2
O.
3. Turn on the BiPAP Synchrony and allow the device to stabilize for at least one minute.
4. Record the current readings from the Amprobe in the space provided on the Test Data
Sheet. Sign and date the test data sheet and retain for a device history record. This con-
cludes the BiPAP Synchrony Current Draw Test.
NOTE
It is recommended to use an adapted, spare BiPAP Synchrony Power cord, in
conjunction with an Amprobe for measuring the current draw of the unit. The spare
BiPAP Synchrony power cord can be adapted by separating the two insulated sides
of the power cord, taking extra care
NOT
to remove any insulation, thus exposing
the bare wires.
Alternatively, the technician may use whichever method they are comfortable with
to complete the current draw test.
NOTE
Refer to the REMstar Heated Humidifier Service Manual (Reorder Number: 1015720)
for steps to perform current draw test with a heated humidifier.
