Anybody connecting additional equipment to medical electrical equipment configures a
medical system and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements
for medical electrical systems. Attention is drawn to the fact that local laws take priority
over the above mentioned requirements. If in doubt, consult your local representative or
the technical service department
5.17 Battery
The CliniScape comes with a lithium ion rechargeable main battery having a capacity of 3900mAh at an
output voltage of 11.1 V (P/N 4519 208 80711). The first instructions on how insert and charge the battery are
given in section 3.1
The CliniScape has preset Battery Alarms and a utility that allow the user to swap the battery when its
charge is below 10 %
5.17.1 Swapping the battery
The battery can be safely replaced with no loss of data, by means of several different procedures.
Besides turning off the unit (very time consuming), the battery can be swapped by temporarily connecting the
unit to a power source (AC adapter or docking station).
Alternatively, the MCA can be put into hibernate mode, that must be enabled in the dedicated tab of the Power
Option. This is faster than a complete turn off, but still requiring minutes.
The CliniScape is also supporting the battery "warm swap" that can be executed in few seconds and on
the go. This is achieved by supplying the MCA with an additional built in rechargeable battery that keeps the
CliniScape powered in an active Power status, during the battery replacement.
When the battery charge is below 7%, a dialogue box appears advising a battery substitution.
Note: The CliniScape OFF status is actually a minimum power quiescent state that anyhow
draws energy from the battery. If the MCA is left OFF on battery for more than two weeks,
it is possible that the completely charged battery can be found depleted. In this case the
MCA must be turned OFF with the AC adapter or with a charged battery pack
Replace the internal battery pack only with the battery designed for the CliniScape to avoid
the risk of fire or explosion resulting in personal injury.
Do not use the battery pack in combination with other types of battery packs (such as dry-
cell battery packs) or battery packs with different capacities or brands. This can result in it
being over discharged during use or overcharged during recharging, possibly leading it to
leak, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
If the user confirms that he or she wishes to change the battery , he
or she presses the button on the left of the unit and the MCA will
automatically enter into the Stand-by status (S3 - suspend to RAM).
In this power status, the system is frozen to RAM, CPU and hard
disk are halted and the screen is switched off.
Now the depleted battery can be removed and a new fully charged
one can be inserted.
The maximum time for swapping that battery is these conditions is
five minutes
By pressing again the battery button, the MCA On status can be
resumed.
