Battery Maintenance
The system uses a rechargeable battery containing Lithium-Ion cells. The battery contains an
integrated safety protection circuit.
The system battery has a shelf life of six months. Recharge the battery once every six months
when stored for a long period of time. The system switches off when the battery is completely
discharged. Charge battery regularly to maximize battery life.
As the battery ages, the full charge capacity of the battery will degrade and be permanently lost.
As a result, the amount of charge that is stored and available for use is reduced. When the capacity
is no longer sufficient for your daily operation, you will need to replace the battery.
To print an ECG after low battery shutdown do the following:
1.
Connect the system to an AC power supply.
2.
Recharge the battery for 20 minutes.
The system is ready to print an ECG.
To print an ECG after a battery is fully discharged do the following:
1.
Connect the system to an AC power supply.
2.
Recharge the battery for 90 minutes.
The system is ready to print an ECG.
NOTE:
The system does not print an ECG without a working battery.
Periodic Maintenance
In addition to normal system use, periodic deep discharge cycles may be required to ensure
consistent battery performance. A deep discharge cycle occurs when the battery is discharged
until the system shuts down and the battery is charged until it is full.
NOTE:
For optimal battery life, GE Healthcare recommends one deep discharge cycle every three
months, but does not recommend over-exercising the battery with multiple deep discharge
cycles.
