Getinge Maquet FLOW-i 4.2 User Manual

9.7 Power supply
In addition to the mains power supply, the
system is equipped with a battery backup.
When the system is powered by battery
backup, the estimated remaining battery time
in minutes is displayed in the upper right
corner of the screen.
88 min
The status of the power supply is continuously
monitored by the system. If the status is
unsatisfactory, an alarm is activated.
It takes six hours to recharge a depleted
battery.
The batteries are charged while the system is
connected to the mains power supply.
9.7.1 Mains power failure
In the event of a mains power failure or
disconnection, the system switches to battery
operation and activates an alarm.
During mains power failure, the backup battery
in the anesthesia system will not power the
patient monitor, equipment connected to the
IEC outlets or the lift (C30 model).
Mains power failure will not affect the
performance of other system functions, e.g.
flow rate or composition of the fresh gas.
WARNING! The power cord shall remain
connected to the power outlet when the
internal battery back-up is used during a
power failure. This maintains the protective
earth connection.
9.7.2 Emergency ventilation system
In the event of mains power and battery power
failure, the emergency ventilation system can
be used to manually ventilate the patient.
If the emergency ventilation is activated, either
during a patient case or when testing the
system, the emergency ventilation APL valve
must be set to minimum before resuming
normal ventilation (AUTO or MAN) or starting
a new patient case.
See Chapter 7, page 133 for more information.
