Set Up

This chapter describes how to properly set up the SurePower Single Bay Charger for use.
Place the SurePower Single Bay Charger on a stable, secure surface.
Position the charger so that the control panel and LED’s face the area from which you’ll be

working -- this will make it easier to see the LED’s and install and remove batteries.
Make sure that there are at least four inches of clear space surrounding t he charger. This provides

the air circulation necessary for the charger to dissipate the heat that it generates during
operation.

Figure 2-1 SurePower Single Bay Charger Setup

Caution • Do not place anything on top of or beneath the unit that might block the vents.

• Do not remove or discard the charger’s port connector plug -- removal of the plug makes the
unit susceptible to water and dust ingress. Do not connect any cable or device to the charger’ s
port connector -- the port connector is only for factory use.

Warning! • Do not place open containers of liquids (drink cups, etc.) on or near the charger.

Spilling liquids on the charger can result in an electrical safety hazard.

• Do not the use the charger in a patient environment.

• Always inspect the charger exterior before use; do not use if the exterior is broken.

9650-000272-05 Rev. B SurePower Single Bay Charger Operator’s Guide 3-5

CHAPTER 3 OPERATION

Testing Batteries (Manual Procedure)

The charger’s batte ry test recalibrates the battery and measures the battery’s charge capacity to
ensure that the battery can hold a charge that is suf f ici ent for effective service, which is at least
60% of its original factory charge capacity.

When should you Test and Recalibrate a Battery?

The SurePower and SurePower II Battery Packs automatically recalibrate and measure charge
capacity after a set service interval (1 year or 500 Amphere-hours discharged)
initiate a manual battery test, which recalibrates t he batte ry and measures cha r ge capacity, after
a shorter service interval (for example, after a specific number of charge/discharge cycles or

less than a year after the last recalibration).

Running a manual battery test resets the interval after which the battery
automatically recalibrates and measures charge capacity.

Note: A battery will pass a battery test (the charger lights the Ready LED) if the battery can

be charged to at least 60% of its original factory charge capacity. If manual test results
in a charging fault, you sho uld remove the ba ttery from service and perform additional
testing (see the Troubleshooting section in Chapter 4.)

. You can also

Inspection

Chapter 4

Maintenance and

T roubleshooting

This chapter describes a series of non-technical operational checks that you should perform
annually to ensure the proper operation of the SurePower Single Bay Charger.

Begin by inspecting the charger to ensure that it’s clean (with no fluid spills). Make sure that
nothing has been placed on top of the charger and that there are at least four inches of clear
space around the charger so that it can dissipate heat effectively.

You can then perform the following quick, non-technical operational checks

1. Inspect for cracks or damage to the charger housing.

2. Inspect the AC cord for severe kinks or exposed wires

3. Connect the charger to live AC mains. The charger will beep, turn on the fan, and light all

LEDs for several seconds. The Power LED will remain lit after the other LEDs go off.

4. With the battery bay empty , check that all LEDs on the cont rol panel except the Power LED

are off.

5. Press the Test button. Veryify that all LEDs are temporarily lit.

6. Inspect the battery pin contacts and the plastic around the battery pin contacts for wear or

damage.

7. Insert a battery into the bay. Verify that the appropriate LEDs in the bay immediately

illuminate.

Chapter 5

Using ZOLL Rechargeable

Battery Packs Effectively

This chapter describes how you can use ZOLL rechargeable battery packs most effectively.
This chapter also describes what a Battery Management Program is and how you use it to
ensure that your ZOLL defibrillators always have adequate battery power.

Getting the Most for Your SurePower Battery Pack and SurePower II Battery
Pack

The SurePower and SurePower II Battery Packs are lithium ion batteries. You can recharge a
depleted SurePower or SurePower II Battery Pack at any time.

It is very important that you recharge a depleted SurePower or SurePower II Battery Packs as
soon as possible.

Caution • Never store the SurePower or SurePower II Battery Packs in a fully depleted state -- this will

damage the battery.

• Never store the SurePower or SurePower II Battery Packs in a charger that is not powered
on.

Developing a Battery Management Program

The safe, reliable use of ZOLL defibrillators requires an adequate, available supply of battery
power. To ensure that an adequate supply of battery power is always available, you need to
have a well-designed Battery Management Program.

A Battery Management Program requires the following:

1. Have a sufficient number of battery packs and chargers.
Have a sufficient number of battery packs and chargers to insure that every ZOLL

resuscitation device has fully charged main and spare batteries ready at all times.

2. Assign someone to be responsible for the Battery Management Program.

Assign someone who can oversee all aspects of the Battery Management Program,
including the training of staff who use ZOLL’s resuscitation devices.

9650-000272-05 Rev. B SurePower Single Bay Charger Operator’s Guide 5-1

USING ZOLL RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACKS EFFECTIVELY

3. Define the battery pack exchange and charging routines.

Clinical and technical staff should determine desired use patterns and an optimum sequence
to insure consistent battery pack exchange and charging routines.

4. Ensure sufficient spare battery pack capability.

A fully-charged spare battery pack should be immediately available with all ZOLL
resuscitation devices. We recommend that you keep more than one spare battery pack
available where prolonged or repeated use of the device may be required, such as long
transport situations.

5. Develop backup pro cedures.

You must develop backup procedures to maintain appropriate life support (such as
cardiopulmonary resuscitation) should a battery pack or resu scitation devic e fail and need to
be replaced.

6. Test Battery Packs regularly.

Develop a testing schedule as part of your organization’s Battery Management Program.
The appropriate frequency of testing depends on the age of the battery pack and the
frequency and type of use. As the battery pack ages, testing should be more frequent since
failure may occur rapidly at the battery pack’s end-of-life. At a minimum, ZOLL
recommends testing every three months.

7. Develop a battery recycling and disposal plan.

The disposal of used batteries can have a negative environmental impact if it is not done
correctly, and there are often regulations specifying how batteries should be disposed of or
recycled. You should become familiar with any applicable regulations and develop a plan
that satisfies these regulations.

We encourage you to recycle your used batteries whenever possible.
