Handling of the changeable
accumulator
The changeable accumulator (
PRIMEDIC
™
Accu
) is charged
automatically when inserting the defibrillator into the
charging unit. In case of permanent use of the
PRIMEDIC
™
Defi-Monitor
one or more charged accumulators have to
be kept available for use in case of emergency. The comfort
version (optional) of the charging unit (see section 9.2) allows
the charging of an additional accumulator.
All accumulators based on NiCd technics have to be
discharged completely before recharging in order to avoid a
"memory" effect (see appendix A1).
The comfort version of the charging unit ensures best
accumulator care. For the charging of a second accumulator
it is equipped with the so-called Accu-Care function that
checks the inserted accumulator and discharges it completely
before charging the maximum capacity.
The "memory" effect can be avoided effectively by regular
exchange of the accumulator connected to the
PRIMEDIC
™
Defi-Monitor
for the second accumulator of the charging
unit (approx. every second week).
Note:
Accumulators are subject to wear. Even best care does not
avoid a derating of capacity in the long run. Stop using the
accumulator if after approx. 2 years the accumulator capacity
only allows few shocks with maximum energy.
Note:
Accumulators have to be disposed of professionally. Return
the used
PRIMEDIC
™
Accus
to us or to the dealer. Do not
dispose of the accumulators in the household garbage!
Note:
Insertion of the defibrillator with discharged accumulator into
the charging unit allows monitoring operation immediately
after switching on.
Attention:
To operate the
PRIMEDIC
™
Defi-Monitor
the accumulator
has to be connected to the right side of the casing. This is
also necessary for safety reasons for the operation of the
defibrillator when it is inserted into the charging unit.
