Pump and approximately 180 minutes at 1.0 LPM and 3,000 RPM when used with the
PediMag Pump.
The switch from AC power to battery power is automatic and is accomplished without
interruption of patient support as long as the battery has sufficient charge. If the System
runs in combination with the Console Version 2 on battery, the Monitor will shorten the
battery runtime. The reduced runtime depends on the working point of the Pump. With a
high load, there is approximately 20% less runtime with the Monitor at nominal speed.
WARNING
If a LOW BATTERY alert message is displayed, AC power must be restored as
quickly as possible.
If the Console is operating on batteries and a BATTERY BELOW MINIMUM alarm
message is displayed, the Pump is likely to stop at any time without further
warning. AC power must be restored and the alarm acknowledged to prevent the
Pump from stopping.
Alternatively, the Motor and Pump may be switched to the backup Console,
Motor and Flow Probe to resume pumping operation.
CAUTION
Always operate the System at the lowest acceptable clinical flows when
operating on Console batteries to conserve remaining battery time. Administer
appropriate anticoagulation at all times and assess adequacy of anticoagulation
when reducing blood flow.
CAUTION
Confirm that the System is operating on AC or battery power by viewing the lit
LED for the appropriate power source on the indicator to the right of the display.
AC power loss or disconnection for transport will cause a visual and audio alert to be
activated. The Console display shows
ON BATTERY
. The green AC indicator is no longer
illuminated and the green battery indicator is illuminated.
When transporting a patient on Console battery power and then returning to AC power,
the
ON BATTERY
message is cleared, the green AC indicator is illuminated and the
green battery indicator is no longer illuminated.
