Tube Sealer Power Source
Battery replacement
Note: The Power Source is powered by an easily removable and rechargeable
12V NiCad battery pack. The battery pack will provide approximately 1500
seals on typical blood bag tubing when fully charged and sealing system is
properly tuned.
Caution: Use only with battery packs equipped with a Positive Thermal Cutout
(PTC) device and approved for use with

The battery low condition is signaled when an audio alarm sounds and the
battery low indicator light is illuminated. When this occurs, recharge battery
(refer to “Battery charging” on page 20) or replace the battery pack with a
freshly charged back up battery pack.
Note: Arcing at the sealing head may cause a battery low condition to be
indicated, even when the battery is not low. In such a case, shut the power
source off and be sure the sealing head and/or tubing are dry and clean (to
eliminate the possibility of further arcing). Turn the power source on and
continue sealing. If the battery low condition is indicated again and arcing has
not occurred, then it is time to exchange the battery pack with a fully charged
battery pack.
1. Prior to battery pack removal, turn the power switch to the off position.
Disconnect the sealing head and RF power cable and remove the power
source from the carrying pouch, if necessary.
2. Open the battery compartment door by sliding the latch to the right.
Disconnect the battery connector from the power source connector and
slide the battery pack out of the compartment by pulling on the strap.
Note: Remove the battery pack by using the strap or by holding the device at a
downward angle and slide the battery out of the device casing. Remove by
pulling the battery down and out. This angle allows the battery to slide out more
easily, avoiding damage to the battery and wires. Do not pull on the wires. (See
Figure 4-1, and Figure 4-2.)
