Overview
NOTE
1-2
The M3500B/M5500B automatically stores critical events, such as shocks
and alarm violations, in its internal memory. An Event Summary may be
printed at any time. The M3500B/M5500B also enables you to store data and
events on an M3510A/M5510A Data Card for downloading to the Event
Review Data Management System.
Batteries, Power Modules, Battery Charger Adapter
The M3500B/M5500B is powered by a rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid (SLA)
battery (M3516A/M5516A). Proper care of these batteries will ensure that
they have the energy required to operate the M3500B/M5500B and deliver the
appropriate therapy (See "Battery Maintenance" section in Instructions for
Use).
Batteries may be charged either in the defibrillator or in the Battery Charger
Adapter (M3506A/M5506A). In either case, power for charging can be pro-
vided by the AC Power Module (M3517A/M5517A), or by the DC Power
Module (M3518A/M5518A).
The defibrillator will take longer to charge when powered with either power
module without a battery installed. The recommended practice is to use a bat-
tery in conjunction with the power module to ensure optimal performance.
For information on either the power modules or the adapter, see the documen-
tation supplied with the power module or adapter.
