Lithium Ion Battery The Lithium Ion battery connects to the LTV® Ventilator’s power inlet. When the Lithium Ion battery is unplugged, the LTV® Ventilator automatically reverts to internal battery power. The Lithium Ion battery is inserted into the outside pouch of the LTV® Transport Pack and is held in place by Velcro straps. An electronic “fuel gauge” consisting of five LED’s shows the status of the battery charge. The battery is a Lithium Ion type battery; therefore, it has none of the memory effects seen in rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries (“memory effect” refers to the phenomenon where the apparent discharge capacity of a battery is reduced when it is repetitively discharged incompletely and then recharged) and does not have to be completely discharged prior to recharging.

Lithium Ion Battery Charger and Cords The Lithium Ion Battery Charger is an AC/DC converter that provides a controlled charge voltage to a Lithium Ion battery. You must disconnect the Lithium Ion battery from the ventilator to charge it. When the Lithium Ion battery is unplugged, the ventilator automatically reverts to internal battery power. Connecting the charger to the battery will disable the battery’s output.

LTV® Transport Pack The LTV® Transport Pack accommodates the LTV® ventilator with protective boots attached. It also includes an external pouch for the LTV® Lithium Ion Battery, a shoulder strap, a hand strap, D-rings, and a bed rail attachment.

Battery Storage Pouch The LTV® Transport battery storage pouch includes a strap and hardware to attach an extra Lithium Ion Battery to a backpack.

CAUTION Risk of overheating - To reduce the risk of overheating the battery charger and to allow for adequate heat dissipation, do not use battery charger in an enclosed space such as in a bag or ventilator back pack. The sides and top of the charger should not be in contact with any other objects during the charging operation. Do not stack chargers next to or on top of other chargers during the battery charging operation.

Chapter 4 - CHARGING THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY After determining that you have received all of the proper components for the LTV® Lithium Ion Battery, you must fully charge the battery before using it to power an LTV® Ventilator by following the instructions below.

WARNING Possible patient harm - Do not attempt to charge the Lithium Ion battery while it is being used to provide power to an LTV® Ventilator.

CAUTION Risk of overheating - To reduce the risk of overheating the battery charger and to allow for adequate heat dissipation, do not use battery charger in an enclosed space such as in a bag or ventilator back pack. It is recommended that the sides and top of the charger not be in contact with any other objects during the charging operation. Do not stack chargers next to or on top of other chargers during the battery charging operation.

Power pigtail

The Lithium Ion battery must be disconnected from the ventilator before charging. To do this, depress the locking tab on the connector and disengage the connector from the LTV ventilator power pigtail.

CAUTION Possible damage to the battery - Never lift or handle the Lithium Ion battery by its power cord. You could cause damage to the battery

Battery Charge Level The charge level of the Lithium Ion battery is indicated by the LED display on the battery. To check the Battery charge level, press the Check Button and read the number of LED’s. Each LED indicates approximately 20 percent of the charge level. All five LED’s will light when the Battery is 80-100% of the charge level. Check Button

5th LED

One of the Battery LED’s (the 5th LED) may flash Red for up to 5 minutes when a powered charger is connected. The 5th LED will light solid Red within 5 minutes. When the battery is fully charged, the 5th LED will light solid Green.

Expected Charge Time Battery charge time depends upon how deeply the battery has been discharged. Generally, the battery should be fully charged within seven hours. If, after 18 hours of charging the five LED’s do not illuminate when you press the Check button on the battery, contact a certified CareFusion service technician.

NOTE Five lit LED’s, indicating a full recharge, should never occur within the first hour of charging.

Expected Cycle Life A cycle is the degree to which the battery is discharged before being recharged. The cycle life (number of cycles) of the battery is determined by the depth of discharge the battery continually encounters. The less a battery is discharged before being recharged, the longer the cycle life will be. The battery is a Lithium Ion type battery; therefore, it has none of the memory effects seen in rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries and does not have to be completely discharged prior to recharging. (“Memory effect” is the phenomenon where the apparent capacity of a battery is reduced when it is repetitively discharged incompletely and then recharged).

Chapter 5 - POWERING THE LTV® VENTILATOR This section explains how to power an LTV® ventilator using the Lithium Ion battery.

Connecting the Lithium Ion battery and LTV® Ventilator After fully charging the Lithium Ion battery using the Battery Charger, the Lithium Ion battery is ready to act as an external DC power source for the LTV® ventilator. 1)

Place Lithium Ion battery into the battery compartment of the LTV® Transport Pack and secure it in place with the Velcro fasteners.

2)

The LTV® Ventilator external power outlet is located on the left-hand side panel of the LTV® Ventilator. Plug the plastic four-pin Lithium Ion battery connector into the LTV® Ventilator’s power port.

The four-pin power connector is locked by a plastic tab in the connector itself. To unlock the connector, depress the tab on the connector head and pull the connector from the socket.

Depress Tab

With all connections properly attached and the Lithium Ion battery fully charged, the proper LED indicators should appear on the LTV® Ventilator’s front panel. The Lithium Ion battery is now powering the LTV® Ventilator.

Battery Status and the LTV® Ventilator

The front panel of the LTV® Ventilator provides an LED indication of power source and power status. With the external battery properly attached, the LTV® Ventilator’s Green EXTERNAL POWER LED should be illuminated indicating the ventilator is receiving power from a source other than its internal battery. As the external battery discharges, the terminal voltage will drop. The LTV® Ventilator will announce a POWER LOW alarm when the external battery voltage is less than 11.5V and the EXTERNAL POWER LED will glow Amber. When the external battery is less than 10V, the LTV® Ventilator will automatically switch to the internal battery. The POWER LOST message will be displayed and the EXTERNAL POWER LED will be off.
