Mindray BP10 NIBP Module - Storing AA Batteries; Maintaining the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery

Maintaining the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Battery
8 - 6 BP10 Operator’s Manual
8.7.2 Storing AA Batteries
If you remove undepleted AA batteries from BP10 and need to store the batteries, keep
the batteries together as a set for later re-use so that all batteries will have the same level
of remaining power.
Do not store disposable AA batteries by leaving the batteries in the incorrect polarity
position in BP10.
NOTE
• Replace the AA battery frame on the battery compartment after removing
the AA batteries.
8.8 Maintaining the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
Take care of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery once you receive a new battery for use.
The following table describes the battery maintenance activities and recommended
frequency.
The lifetime of a lithium-ion battery depends on the frequency and duration of use. With
good maintenance, the useful life is approximately 500 complete charge-discharge
cycles. Experience indicates that the incidence of failure may increase with battery
service life due to the accumulated stresses of daily use. Therefore, Mindray strongly
recommends that lithium-ion battery should be replaced after two years or 500
complete charge-discharge cycles. Using the outdated battery may cause the device
abnormality and unacceptable performance.
The age of a lithium-ion battery begins at the date of manufacture. The date of
manufacture is listed on the rear of the battery.
Activity Recommended Frequency
Visual inspection Before installing a battery in BP10.
Charge the battery Upon receipt, after use, a “Low Battery” or “Battery Depleted”
message occurs.
To optimize performance, a fully or almost fully discharged
battery must be charged immediately.
Clean the battery At each patient discharge, or in case that the battery is
exposed to contaminants.
Caution: Do not clean the battery connector during the
cleaning.
Charge stored battery to at
least 40% of the battery
capacity.
Every six months if BP10 is not in use for an extended period of
time.
Dispose of the battery When the “Battery Maintenance Required” message displays
on BP10.
