ZOLL M Series Defibrillator Rev B SMART Battery - Manual

ZOLL SMART BATTERY OPERATOR’S GUIDE
9650-0116 Rev. B
Warnings
• Follow all recommended maintenance and operating
instructions for the Smart Battery and associated ZOLL
charging/testing systems. If a problem or question
arises, contact Technical Service. Do not use the Smart
Battery until it has been inspected, tested, and
recalibrated by the appropriate personnel and you have
been adequately trained in the proper use of the Smart
Battery.
• Keep a fully charged spare battery pack available at all
times with the Monitor/Defibrillator. Replace the battery
immediately upon low battery message.
• Do not install batteries into Monitor/Defibrillators when
storage may exceed 90 days. Battery damage may
occur.
• Do not immerse or set the Smart Battery in fluid.
• Do not use alcohol or ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) on
the Smart Battery. Do not autoclave the Smart Battery.
• The Smart Battery is protected against interference from
radio frequency emissions typical of two way radios and
cellular phones (digital and analog) used in emergency
service/public safety activities. Users of the Smart
Battery should assess the device's performance in their
typical environment of use for the possibility of radio
frequency interference from high power sources.
• Do not use the Smart Battery if the case is cracked or
broken.
• ZOLL charging/testing systems used with the Smart
Battery should be calibrated or tested periodically using
the appropriate Service Manual.
• The Smart Battery may feel warm to the touch following
an excessive number of defibrillation discharges at
maximum energy.
• Locate the Smart Battery and ZOLL resuscitation
devices where they cannot harm the patient or user if
they fall.
• Under certain fault conditions, it is possible for small
amounts of hydrogen gas to be released during
charging of the battery pack. This may present a
hazard.
General
Test: ZOLL recommends that all battery testing be
performed with a ZOLL battery charger, such as the Base
PowerCharger
4x4 or a ZOLL Battery Support System labeled
“Smart Battery Ready”.
Temperature:
0°C to 50°C (operating)
15°C to 35°C (optimal battery charging)
-40°C to 70°C (storage)
Humidity: 5% to 95% (relative humidity - non
condensing)
Cleaning
Clean the ZOLL Smart Battery, with a soft damp cloth and mild
soap.
Daily Check
Press the Press For Display
+
?
button and verify the
battery is fully charged and no faults exist.

Product Description
The ZOLL Smart Battery Module consists of a reusable
electronics module and replaceable cell pack. A built-in
microprocessor monitors battery use/recharge and tracks the
amount of usable monitoring time remaining in the battery.
Whenever a Smart Battery (Battery Pack equipped with a
reusable Smart Battery Module) is placed in a ZOLL
monitor/defibrillator, the device measures its rate of energy
delivery and displays the remaining usable monitoring time.
The ZOLL Smart Battery is also designed to help users
determine the monitoring run time during the recharge process
or when the battery pack is sitting idle.
The reusable ZOLL Smart Battery Module microprocessor
monitors both battery capacity and charge state to compute
approximate monitoring time. Since, battery capacity diminishes
over the useful life of all batteries, the Smart Battery must
periodically recalibrate its capacity in order to provide continued
accuracy. The battery's Fault: Test Battery Before Using
indicator (
+
) will illuminate to indicate the need for such
recalibration. When this occurs, recalibration is accomplished by
placing the Smart Battery in a ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4 or a
ZOLL Battery Support System labeled "Smart Battery Ready"
and depressing the TEST button. This process will test,
recalibrate, and recharge the battery, restoring battery level
indicator accuracy.
( Note: Recalibration is automatic with Base PowerCharger
4x4
Auto Test).
Controls and Indicators
+
? Press For Display
Illuminates the battery level indicators to display the
approximate amount of time the monitor/defibrillator will operate
(in monitoring mode) before the battery is depleted. Depressing
this button will cause all indicators to blink once and then the
appropriate indicators will illuminate for 10 seconds unless the
battery is in use/recharge (then they will remain on).
+
Fault: Test Battery Before Using
Illuminates to indicate that the Smart Battery is in need of
recalibration or that a fault condition has been detected. If the
+
FAULT indicator remains lit after the Smart Battery has
been recalibrated (tested), refer to the Diagnostics Mode Fault
Code Section for instructions on how to determine the nature of
the fault or return to ZOLL Technical Service.
Battery Level Indicators
The Smart Battery includes five indicators for displaying the
amount of monitoring time contained in the battery. To check the
state of the battery, depress the
+
?
Press For Display
button and assure that all five indicators are illuminated to
confirm that the battery pack has been fully recharged. The top
most indicator will typically be extinguished within a few minutes
after the battery is placed in use to show that at least some
energy has been used.
The remaining four battery level indicators display the
approximate monitoring time for a 1400 series device that can
be expected from the battery. As the battery pack is used, the
pattern of illuminated indicators will change to display the
present battery state. When only the bottom indicator is
illuminated, the Smart Battery pack is low and should be
recharged.
When the Smart Battery is powering a monitor/defibrillator or
when it is in the process of being recharged, the battery level
indicators will automatically display the battery's remaining
useable monitoring time. When the battery is not in use or is
installed in an inactive monitor/defibrillator, the indicators will all
be extinguished.
