WARNING
Increase Pump RPM in small increments to minimize the risk of exceeding the
available blood volume and causing drainage cannula obstruction.
8.4 Battery Operation
The Console is designed for operation on AC power; however, it also contains an internal
rechargeable battery and charger. If a power failure causes loss of AC power or patient
transport is necessary, a new fully charged internal battery will operate the Console for
approximately 120 minutes at 5.5 LPM and 3,500 RPM when used with the CentriMag
