Battery Operation:
Battery run time is a function of the number of modules attached and module
activity.
With a new, fully charged battery, the system operates as follows before
a "BATTERY
DISCHARGED" message occurs:
• 1 hour with four pump modules infusion at 999
mL/h and one auto-ID module
• 6 hours with one pump module infusing at 25 mL/h
• 6 hours with one pump module infusing at 25 mL/h and one auto-ID module
• 3 hours with four pump modules infusing at 25 mL/h
• 3 hours with four pump modules infusing at 25 mL/h and one auto-ID module
• 4.5 hours with one active SpO
2
module
• 6 hours with one syringe module or PCA module infusing at 5 mL/h
• 3 hours with four syringe modules, or one PCA module and three syringe modules,
infusing at 5 mL/h
• 4 hours with one active EtCO
2
module
The device is equipped with a secondary battery that automatically switches over when
there
is an interruption of the supply mains.
Communication Data
Port:
RS-232 with an RJ45 connector.
Dimensions:
8.1" W x 8.8" H x 8.8" D (including pole clamp)
Electric Classification:
Class
1
, Internally Powered Equipment
Electronic Memory:
The system configuration/data set is stored in compact flash memory along with
operating software.
The events and error logs, CQI, and historical reporting logs, and
the system
alarm settings are stored in the on-board flash memory in t
he PCU and modules. This is
nonvolatile memory and can be held indefinitely or until replaced with new data. Logs
and alarm settings are maintained even during a total loss of power to the system. The
date and time of system power down is captured in the event log. The older log entries
are purged as the log file reaches capacity. Module-specific parameters are stored for 8
hours when system is turned off. After 8 hours of continuous off-time, or if a module is
detached,
module- specific trend data (if applicable) and module-specific operating
parameters are
automatically purged. If a PCA, SpO
2
or EtCO
2
module is detached and
replaced
with another PCA, SpO
2
, or EtCO
2
module, its module-specific trend data is
purged.
Memory will not be lost due to a weak/dischar
ged battery as data is stored on flash
memory as noted.
Compact flash memory: Stores application software, audio wave files, data set, and
hex files data
for operating system software, all needed to
operate the system.
On-board flash memory: Contains software needed
to initially turn on system. Stores
boot software application, and events, errors and battery logs.
