WARNINGS
This product contains lithium-ion batteries which bear risk of fire, explosion and burns.
Do not dissassemble, crash, heat above 100 °C (212 °F), incinerate or dispose of in fire.
Thopaz can be operated from the mains power supply
079.0037 or with the integrated lithium-ion battery. Before using the docking station, read
first the docking station instructions
or on docking station. The battery duration is dependent on the run-time of Thopaz. This is
influenced by the extent of parenchymal leakage and the set pressure. Thopaz does not run
continuously but only switches on when the actual and nominal negative pressure differ.
During continuous operation, Medela guarantees a minimum run-time of 4 hours in battery
operation after the device has been fully charged. In practical operation the real battery run
time results in > 10 hours.
If Thopaz is not used very often, the battery must be charged approximately every 6 months
to ensure optimum functioning.
Safety related tip

Backup battery

If an internal defect occurs (broken cable, battery defective), an acoustic warning
signal is sounded for at least 3 minutes. Power is supplied by the backup battery.
Replace Thopaz immediately.
