Power management
Helpful hints!
• Connect the ventilator to the mains power whenever possible. In the event of battery failure, connect
to mains power immediately to resume ventilation.
• An external power source (Astral External Battery or RPSII) should always be available for
ventilator-dependent patients.
• An external power source (Astral External Battery or RPSII) should be in use in mobile situations,
including when mains power is unavailable or disrupted. Do not rely solely on the internal battery for
mobile use.
• Ensure the external battery is sufficiently charged before using in mobile situations.

• Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.
