Nellcor Incorporated has elected to change the battery pack in the monitor portion of the
N-200.
Although the new battery pack has a lower charge capacity, it was chosen forits
consistent performance. The effect of this lower capacity is a reduction in the instrument's
batteryoperation from 120minutes to 90 minutes.
