Critically Low Battery; Battery Error - Boston Scientific EKOS Control System 4.0 User Manual

Critically Low Battery

If the Control Unit is operating on battery power and the battery charge level is 5 % or less, the critically low battery message with an alert icon
displays and an audible alert sounds� The percentage of remaining charge and the battery gauge with a red bar in the upper right corner of
the display indicates the level of battery charge� Ultrasound runtime for each channel is displayed during a critically low battery notification�
Immediately connect the Control Unit to AC power to prevent the unit from automatically shutting down in 3 minutes� A countdown timer is
displayed indicating how much time remains before the Control Unit will shut down (see Figure 14)�
Figure 14. Critically Low Battery
Note: In the event the time elapses and the Control Unit automatically shuts down, the ultrasound runtime will be saved� Infusion of the
solutions will not be interrupted since the solutions are delivered by a separate infusion pump� Once the Control Unit is plugged into AC
power, turned back ON and ultrasound is started, the runtime will resume for each channel where it left off�

Battery Error

During operation on AC power, if the internal battery cannot provide power to the Control Unit, a battery error message with an alert icon
displays� The red battery gauge with an X indicates the battery is defective� Even with a battery error, the Control Unit can continue to operate
as long as it is connected to AC power� Do not attempt to open the Control Unit and change the battery� Contact your Boston Scientific
representative for information on replacing the battery�
The battery error notification is dismissed by pressing the Dismiss button on the touch screen� The battery error notification appears
whenever the Control Unit is connected to AC power, is turned ON and a battery error is detected (see Figure 15)�
If a battery error occurs when the Control Unit is not plugged into AC power, the Control Unit may not power up when the power button is
pressed� If the Control Unit does power up, a system error message will display indicating the Control Unit will shut down in three minutes�
If the Control Unit is turned ON when the battery error occurs, the Control Unit will immediately turn off� To bypass these battery errors, plug
the Control Unit into AC power, power ON and operate normally�
Note: In the event that the battery is fully depleted, or a battery error occurs and the Control Unit automatically turns OFF, infusion of the
solutions will not be interrupted�
