2 Power supply and battery operation
WARNINGS
This product contains lithium-ion batteries which bear risk of fire, explosion and burns.
Do not disassemble, 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
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 values 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.
Backup battery
If an internal defect occurs (broken cable, battery defective) Thopaz + turns off and the
acoustic warning is sounded for at least 3 minutes (powered by a backup battery). Under
these conditions Thopaz + functions as a one way valve. Replace Thopaz + immediately.
Charge battery

Plug the Thopaz + power supply into a wall outlet and open the
small protection cover to access the DC socket. Plug the coaxial
power supply into the DC socket. Moving bars on the battery
display will indicate charging is occurring [
