Batteriemanagement Power supply / Battery management
Xl XVI
Thopaz can be operated from the mains power supply or with the integrated lithium-ion
battery. The battery is charged during mains operation.
The battery duration is dependent on the run-time of the pump. 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 values differ.
During continuous operation, Medela guarantees a minimum run-time of 4 hours in battery
operation. This case will not occur in practice, which results in real battery run-times of
> 10 hours.
If Thopaz is not used very often, the battery must be charged approximately every 6 months
to ensure optimum functioning.
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.
Guarantee
XVll
Thopaz is guaranteed for 2 years after the date of delivery when used in accordance with these
instructions. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or consequential damage caused
by incorrect operation, inappropriate use as well as use by unauthorised persons.
Routine check / Safety test
XVllI
Each time the device is switched on, a self-test is carried out which checks the internal func-
tions of Thopaz. A "beep" indicates that Thopaz is switched on. Safe operation is ensured
by the functional check including canister and tubing set to be carried out before each use.
No further maintenance or routine checks are necessary. The safety instructions must be
observed.
Medela recommends subjecting Thopaz to a safety check once a year. The work to be car-
ried out is listed in Appendix B in these instructions.
Disposal
XIX
Thopaz comprises metals and plastics and should be disposed of in accordance with the
European directives 2002/95/EC and 2002/96/EC. Additional, local guidelines must also be
observed.
