Expected battery life 

When  running  on  DC  power  only,  a  fully  charged  unit  should  be  able  to  perform  the 
following number of bi-lateral 30 minute procedures at 300mmHg; 
 

 

35* times with battery indicator displaying green 

 

A further 15* times with battery indicator displaying amber 

 

Once  the  battery  indicator  begins  displaying  red  the  device  should  only  be  used  while 
remaining connected to the mains supply. 

 

* Based on well-maintained battery.

Maintenance 

12.1.

 

Daily 

Ensure that O rings, cuffs and associated hoses are in good condition  before use. Those 
that are damaged or worn should be replaced. 
 

 

CAUTION:  Before  use,  ensure  the  device’s  functions  operate  correctly.  Also 

visually  inspect  the  device  for  any  loose  or  damaged  parts.  If  the  device’s 
performance or mode of operation  changes from that specified or required 
the  device  should  be  taken  out  of  service  immediately.  If  after  checking  O 
rings,  cuffs  and  associated  hoses  are  in  good  condition  the  AT4  is  still  not 
operating as expected then request maintenance before returning the device 
to clinical use. 

 

If there is any sign of damage or a change in performance the device should be taken out 
of clinical use and maintenance requested.  

 

If the battery indicator of the electrically powered AT4 shows amber connect 

it to the mains electrical supply as soon as possible. If the indicator shows red connect to 
the mains electrical supply immediately. Green shows normal operating conditions 

 

The spanner symbol with an amber or red indicator requires investigation. If 
the indicator is not cleared by replacing leaking cuffs hoses and O rings and 

then restarting the AT4 a service should be requested 

12.2.

 

Recurrent (Periodic) Testing 

 

 

CAUTION:  In  line  with  the  MHRA  Device  Bulletin  DB2006(5),  maintenance 

work  should  only  be  conducted  by  suitably  trained  personnel  following 
manufacturer’s guidelines and approved parts. 

 

It  is  recommended  that  the  device  is  serviced,  electrically  safety  tested  and  the 
performance  and  accuracy  confirmed  on  an  annual  basis  in  accordance  with  the 
manufacturer’s service schedule and EN IEC 62353:2007. 
The electrically powered AT4 contains a lead acid battery pack which will require to be 
replaced every two years. The device is class I electrical safety with a protective earth, it is 
NOT classified as an applied part. 

 

When requesting service ensure that both the Ref No and the Serial No are quoted. The 
Serial and Reference Numbers are located on a label on the rear of the device.
