Run Device And Fully Drain Saros Battery; Saros Performance Verification Test - Saros 9400R-SEQ Operators & Service Manual

Operator & Service Manual
Operate the device once every 3 months by running the device on battery power until drained. This is required if the device is in
storage and unused. If the device is not run regularly per this recommendation there is a risk it will not perform to specification
when removed from storage.
1) Turn on the SAROS and run at any continuous flow setting until the battery is completely drained and the SAROS powers off.
2) Once the SAROS powers off, immediately connect to AC external power to begin re-charging the battery. You may either continue to
run the SAROS or leave it powered off during re-charge.
3) Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect the battery, power off the unit if still running, and return the SAROS to proper storage
conditions.
Verify functionality of the SAROS using the following procedures. The performance verification test shall be performed upon
initial receipt of the SAROS, any time a problem is suspected, and at regular 6 month intervals. It may be performed at more
frequent intervals if required by the equipment provider.
6.6.1 General Operation Test
1) Install the SAROS battery.
2) Use an external (AC or DC) power cord to connect the SAROS to external power. Verify the power cord connects securely to the
receptacle on the SAROS.
NOTE: The battery is not fully charged upon initial receipt of the SAROS. If testing a new unit, this will begin the battery charging
process. Reference steps 7-8 to verify proper battery charging.
3) Press and hold the "ON/OFF" button for 3 seconds to power on the SAROS.
NOTE: Before powering on, ensure the SAROS is in the well-ventilated area and that the air inlet
and exhaust vent are not obstructed.
4) Verify the audible alarm sounds upon start-up and the screen defaults to display a flow setting of C3.
5) Allow the unit to run for a minimum of 5 minutes to reach its performance specifications. After the
warm-up period, verify that only the green light remains illuminated and there are no audible alarms.
6) Press the utility button once and verify that there are no active alarms. The display screen will read "AC
= NONE" if no alarms are active.
7) Verify that the battery icon is visible on the right side of the screen.
8) Verify that the battery is charging. The battery icon bars will move in a waterfall fashion while charging.
If the battery icon is not moving, verify if the battery is already fully charged. A fully charged battery will
have a completely dark icon with all bars filled.
9) Verify the functionality of the blocked flow alarm. Block the cannula outlet fitting with your finger, or by completely obstructing the
flow through an outlet tube using a clamp, for approximately 60 to 90 seconds and verify that a visual and audible alarm is triggered.
Unblock the outlet port to stop the alarm.
