It is powered by sealed lead acid batteries, capable of driving the unit for 45 minutes ± 10%. The batteries are recharged by a 115V AC to 13.8V DC Dual Mode Charger (included with the unit). A sealed lead acid battery is a very stable and reliable battery. Many factors can affect the life of a battery: • Leaving a unit switched on after there is no longer enough power to run the pump can cause a battery to deep discharge. This can reduce the life of, or destroy the battery. • Failing to charge a battery for an extended period of time will also cause the battery to go into deep discharge. • Low temperatures may reduce the available capacity. • High temperatures may cause deformation of the battery case and damage the battery. Sealed lead acid batteries can easily be maintained to permit proper operation of the equipment. To protect the battery, after each procedure turn the unit off, put the unit on charge and always store the pump at room temperature. The only way to assure the battery has functional capacity, even if it is indicated the battery is fully charged, is to perform the weekly check suggested on page 4 of this operations manual. The new-Sentinel is designed to provide instant, effective suctioning, independent of external sources of power and can be pre-set to be activated immediately upon reaching the distressed patient. Suction power is controllable for those instances when full power would be considered harmful to the patient. The S-SCORT new-Sentinel is equipped with a disposable collection canister which features a bacterial filter to screen airborne particulates and a mechanical shut-off valve to prevent fluid overflow.
