To reduce the risk of leakage, explosion, fire, or serious injury, note the following when handling
the lithium‑ion battery included in the system:
• Remove the battery from the console if it is out of use for an extended period of time.
• Do not use the optional battery charger to charge the battery within 1.83 m (6 ft) of any
patient, including the furniture containing the patient (such as a bed or exam table).
• Do not charge the battery in any area where oxygen is administered.
• Never short‑circuit the battery by bringing the battery terminals into contact with any other
conductive object.
• Never expose the battery to abnormal shock, vibration, or pressure.
• Use a general‑purpose cleaner, such as an all‑purpose spray cleaner or a cloth moistened
with soap and water, to clean the battery. Do not clean or disinfect the battery using any of the
cleaning or disinfection materials described in the Reprocessing chapter of this manual.
• Do not disassemble the battery, heat it above 60°C (140°F), or incinerate it.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children and in its original package until you are ready to
use it.
• Dispose of used batteries promptly according to local recycling or waste regulations.
• If the battery is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective gloves to handle it, and
discard it immediately.
• Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on the electrodes during transportation.
