Define the battery pack exchange and charging routines.
3.
Clinical and technical staff should determine desired use patterns and an optimum sequence
to insure consistent battery pack exchange and charging routines.
Ensure sufficient spare battery pack capability.
4.
A fully-charged spare battery pack should be immediately available with all ZOLL
resuscitation devices. We recommend that you keep more than one spare battery pack
available where prolonged or repeated use of the device may be required, such as long
transport situations.
Develop backup procedures.
5.
You must develop backup procedures to maintain appropriate life support (such as
cardiopulmonary resuscitation) should a battery pack or resuscitation device fail and need to
be replaced.
6. Test Battery Packs regularly.
Develop a testing schedule as part of your organization's Battery Management Program.
The appropriate frequency of testing depends on the age of the battery pack and the
frequency and type of use. As the battery pack ages, testing should be more frequent since
failure may occur rapidly at the battery pack's end-of-life. At a minimum, ZOLL
recommends testing every three months.
Develop a battery recycling and disposal plan.
7.
The disposal of used batteries can have a negative environmental impact if it is not done
correctly, and there are often regulations specifying how batteries should be disposed of or
recycled. You should become familiar with any applicable regulations and develop a plan
that satisfies these regulations.
We encourage you to recycle your used batteries whenever possible.
