- SPRINTPACK OVERVIEW

The SprintPack Li-Ion Power System is a portable, rechargeable external power source and charger for the CareFusion line of LTV® Ventilators. The SprintPack Li-Ion Power System consists of two batteries and one Power Manager. The SprintPack Li-Ion Power System offers the following features: 

A comprehensive package that provides up to five hours of mobile power for the LTV® Ventilator



Easy set-up, operation, and maintenance



Two rechargeable 6.6 amp-hr, sealed, no-maintenance SprintPack Batteries



SprintPack Power Manager for recharging the batteries and providing power to an LTV® Ventilator

Principles of Operation The SprintPack Li-Ion Power System accepts approved power sources (see Table 4.1 for list of approved power sources) to recharge the batteries and provide an external power source to an LTV® Ventilator. The SprintPack Li-Ion Power System utilizes a Power Manager to recharge and hold the SprintPack batteries. The Power Manager has an automatic charging control circuit that will recharge the batteries and provide external power to an LTV® Ventilator when an approved power source is connected. The SprintPack Li-Ion Power System may also be used as a portable external power source using the included batteries. 

When the input to the Power Manager is 11 – 29 Volts DC (VDC), power output to an LTV® Ventilator will be 15 VDC.



When the input to the Power Manager is less than 11 VDC, the LTV® Ventilator is powered using the SprintPack Batteries inserted in the Power Manager. When two SprintPack Batteries are present, the battery with the lower charge level will be used first. When the first battery becomes depleted, the SprintPack Power Manager automatically switches to the second battery to maintain a constant power output until both batteries are depleted.

Battery Charge Level The LED Charge Status Indicator displays the charge level of each battery. The charge level may be checked at any time by pressing the TEST button and reading the number of illuminated LEDs. Each LED indicates approximately 20% of the charge level. All five LEDs will illuminate when the Battery has 81 – 100% power capacity. (See Table 4.2 for more information.)

TEST Button

Charge Status Indicator



After a battery is inserted into the Power Manager, wait a minimum of five (5) seconds for the Power Manager to verify an approved power source is present. After this automatic verification, the LED display on each battery will illuminate reflecting the current level of charge. When a battery is being recharged, the LED indicating the current charge level will flash approximately one time per second (1 Hz).



When a battery is fully charged (100% capacity), all five LEDs will illuminate for a brief period, and then extinguish.



The 1st (yellow) LED will flash approximately two times per second (2 Hz), without pressing the TEST button, when the battery has 10% or less capacity while inserted in the SprintPack Power Manager.



When two SprintPack Batteries are present, the battery with a lower charge level will be used first. When the first battery becomes depleted, the SprintPack Power Manager automatically switches to the second battery to maintain a constant power output until both batteries are depleted.

Expected Charge Time Battery charge time depends upon the level of discharge and ventilator settings. Generally, one battery should be fully recharged within three hours3. Two batteries should be fully recharged within five hours3. Charging two SprintPack Batteries simultaneously will result in a quicker charge time. The charging time for the SprintPack Batteries varies depending on the power capability of the approved power source used.

NOTE Charging time - The specified charging time for the SprintPack Batteries is one full charge cycle from 0% to 95% capacity. Batteries above 80% charge level - The Power Manager does not charge a battery that is at or above 80% charge level if the battery had not been removed from the Power Manager since the last use. This feature maximizes battery cycle life.

Expected Number of Lifetime Cycles A Cycle is a full discharge of a battery followed by a full recharge. The cycle life (number of cycles) of each battery is determined by the depth of discharge each battery continually encounters along with storage or operating environment. A full cycle for each battery is from 95% to 0% capacity (discharge) then recharged from 0% to 95% capacity (recharge). Each SprintPack Battery has a lifetime of 400 cycles. After a battery has undergone 400 cycles, replace it with CareFusion SprintPack Battery, P/N 19444-001.

Operator’s Manual - SprintPack™

4-5

Expected Battery Duration Several factors affect the cycle life of each battery, including temperature, length of storage, ventilator settings, and the amount of discharge during each cycle. Each SprintPack Battery has a normal operating time of two and one half (2.5) hours (five (5) hours using two batteries) from a 100% charge to a full discharge based on nominal ventilator settings (see LTV® Ventilator Operator’s Manual for Nominal Settings information). When not in use remove the SprintPack Batteries from the Power Manager. This will prevent unintended discharge.

Battery Disposal The SprintPack Batteries are Lithium Ion type batteries. Some jurisdictions consider these batteries hazardous materials subject to special disposal regulations. Contact the proper agency for information on permissible methods of disposing of used batteries.
