Battery Use
−
Always use two SimMan3G batteries to power the Patient
Simulator
−
Ensure that the batteries are properly connected
−
Charge the batteries regularly
−
Check LEDs on Patient Simulator’s power panel for battery
status
– Change both batteries before the battery charge drops below
15% or the battery light indicator is red. This can be monitored
in the technical status window on the Instructor PC
– The Patient Simulator will automatically shut down if: Battery
temperature rises above 60°C (140°F) or the remaining charge
falls below 6 % on one of the two batteries
View Battery Status in LLEAP
Check the power indicator in the Simulator Status window in LLEAP
according to the instructions in LLEAP Help.
Changing Batteries during a Simulation Session:
1 Press <Pause Session> on Instructor PC. Access the batteries as
described in
Inserting and Connecting the Batteries
2 Replace one battery at a time to avoid loss of simulation data
Storage and Transportation
−
Never store fully charged batteries for longer than a month
−
Never store the batteries inside the Patient Simulator
−
Store batteries in a refrigerator i.e. temperature 0°C - 4°C
(32°F - 40°F)
−
The two simulator batteries can be transported in the Patient
Simulator during air freight
−
When transporting spare batteries please contact the airline or
freight company for the latest transport regulations
Battery Maintenance
−
On approximately every 30th charge cycle, drain the battery
completely before recharging. To drain the batteries, run the
Patient Simulator on both batteries until automatic shutdown
−
Expected battery life: 200 charge cycles
−
Replace only with Laerdal SimMan3G batteries
