Technical Specifications

Clinical and Service Value

The Internal Battery Assembly Pack RSPL Kit by GE Healthcare is designed to enhance the operational efficiency of ultrasound systems, particularly in environments where mobility and continuous power are critical. By offering a reliable power source with a significant operational lifespan, healthcare providers can ensure that diagnostic procedures are conducted without interruption. This reliability is particularly beneficial in emergency settings or during extended examinations, where downtime can adversely affect patient care.

From a maintenance perspective, the assembly includes features that facilitate user interaction, such as a status icon that communicates battery health and alerts for necessary re-calibration. This capability not only aids in maintaining the accuracy of the device but also streamlines the workflow for biomedical engineers and clinical staff. The inclusion of a smart battery charger, designed specifically for these models, further enhances the serviceability of the battery pack, ensuring that the fuel gauge remains accurate throughout its operational life. This thoughtful design reduces the burden of frequent battery replacements and promotes sustainable practices within healthcare facilities.

Additional notes

The Internal Battery Assembly is a kit that consists of a battery base, cover, rear rubber, card assembly and battery cell. It is used for ultrasound devices. The Vivid I/Vivid Q ultrasound unit is powered either by its internal battery or by a separate power supply adaptor unit connected to a separate power outlet for any range of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. The Lithium-Ion battery provides power when an AC power source is interrupted. A battery in the battery bay is standard with Vivid I/Vivid Q. Lithium-Ion batteries last longer than conventional batteries and do not require replacement as often. It can provide one hour of battery life with a single fully charged battery. The Lithium-Ion technology used is significantly less hazardous to the environment than the lithium metal technology used in any other batteries (such as watch batteries). It has a safety device within it, so it should not be disassembled or altered. Charge and discharge the batteries only when the ambient temperature is between 0° and 65° C (32° and 149° F). Battery insertion or removal should take place only when the system is in "full shutdown" mode. The system has a status icon to display the status of the battery. It is designed to flash special messages for the replacement and re-calibration of the battery. Re-calibration may be required after prolonged usage of the battery, because it’s internal "fuel gauge" (capacity meter) may start to drift. When the battery is out of calibration the system does not read the correct charge stored in the battery. An external battery charger can help to charge the battery in a faster manner. It is recommended to use CH5000V, a standalone desktop smart standard battery charger designed to work with the GE Medical Systems Vivid I smart battery packs. It has the added ability to re-calibrate the fuel gauge on the battery pack and maintain full fuel gauge accuracy throughout the entire life of the battery.
