PremoPort
Four
blood pressure monitor works with two 1.5 V AA disposable
batteries or two 1.2 V AA rechargeable batteries. Use only commercially
available, long-life (alkaline) batteries or standard NiCd or NiMH rechargeable
batteries in the correct size. Do not use lithium batteries. Do not mix different
types of batteries and do not mix old and new batteries under any
circumstances. Never use batteries of low or unknown quality since they may
not meet the energy requirements of the recorder and they may destroy the
recorder under certain circumstances because they may contain acidic
electrolytes which could leak and allow the electronic components to corrode.
Do not use defective batteries under any circumstances. Nonetheless, if the
battery capacity should run down during an ambulatory recording, the batteries
can be replaced. The monitoring will continue and the data will be preserved. If
the recorder is not used, it is advised to remove the batteries, due to the minor
but steady power consumption of the integrated components. The data in the
recorder will not be lost even if the batteries are dead or removed. Used
batteries are hazardous waste and must be accordingly disposed of.
Important
It is strongly recommended to use newly charged rechargeable batteries or new
disposable batteries for each patient so that there is enough battery capacity for
the complete monitoring – especially in the case of very high blood pressure
values and/or longer periods of ambulatory measurements. After inserting the
batteries in PremoPort
Four
, it is advised to check their voltage prior to
programming. Do not start any monitoring with batteries which have a low
capacity. The typical voltage of two fully charged rechargeable batteries should
be more than 2.5 V and that of new alkaline batteries should be more than 3 V.
PremoPort shows you the voltage on the display.
Important
If a recorder is not used for a longer period of time, the internal battery cell,
which powers the internal clock module, may be fully discharged. In this case,
insert fresh main batteries in the device for at least one overnight period. The
internal battery cell will be recharged as a result. During this time, the recorder
can be used normally. If the internal battery cell contains too little energy, the
internal clock may work incorrectly and during this time, the recorder would not
be able to begin any measurement.
With one set of fully charged rechargeable batteries, PremoPort
Four
can
record 250 to 300 blood pressure measurements during a 24- to 48-hour
ambulatory blood pressure measurement.
Please observe the relevant product description when charging the
rechargeable batteries.
