  • Page 11: Introduction Of The Autopulse Power System

    The AutoPulse Power System represents a state-of-the-art breakthrough in battery technology and one of the breakthroughs that make the AutoPulse Resuscitation System possible (see Figure 1-1). The AutoPulse Battery communicates with the AutoPulse Battery Charger or with the AutoPulse Platform when it is plugged into each respectively.
  • Page 12 Battery Charger, includes power cord 1.1.1 Battery The Battery (see Figure 1-3) is a removable component that supplies power for the AutoPulse Platform operation. The Battery is a proprietary, rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery that is the exclusive power source for the AutoPulse Platform.
  • Page 13 Status Check button illuminates the Battery’s status light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A single Battery may perform as many as 100 charge/discharge cycles before the Battery reaches the end of its service life. The Battery charge/discharge cycle count increments when the Battery Charger detects that the Battery has been discharged more than 1/3 of its capacity (shallow discharge/recharge cycles will not increment the cycle count).
  • Page 14 4). The Battery Charger has two charging bays; each with its own indicators. The Battery Charger automatically maintains both the state of charge and tests and maintains the Battery to its highest possible capacity. Batteries should always be fully charged and ready for use before deploying the AutoPulse Platform.

  • Page 15: Setting Up The Autopulse Battery Charger

    Setting Up the AutoPulse Battery Charger The AutoPulse Battery Charger must be installed near the wall outlet to which it is connected and that outlet must be easily accessible at all times. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to remove power from the Battery Charger.

  • Page 23: Managing The Autopulse Power System

    Managing the AutoPulse Power System Battery Management The AutoPulse System is intended to be deployed on emergency vehicles in a state of high-readiness. Therefore, regular AutoPulse System checks should be integrated into Emergency Medical Service (EMS) rig-check procedures. Regular monitoring of AutoPulse Battery status is vital to ensure adequate run time.
