Ultralife to unveil hybrid/hot swap system at HIMSS |
A new medical cart power system, jointly designed by UK manufacturer Accutronics and its US parent company Ultralife Corporation, will be unveiled at this year’s Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) exhibition. The event runs from August 9–13, 2021 in Las Vegas, USA. Healthcare settings are fast-moving environments where equipment such as computers, monitors, printers and other peripherals must be transported quickly between wards to treat patients, usually via. medical carts. Recognising the need for a versatile portable power solution, Accutronics’ and Ultralife’s engineering teams came together to develop the new X5 power system for these carts. The X5 medical cart power system is a unique development from Ultralife that allows medical cart integrators to power equipment with energy derived from one or two hot-swappable batteries.
For users who want to charge their batteries away from the cart, two-bay smart chargers are available, that can be either wall or desk mounted, recharging the batteries in less than six hours. “Whether it is a computer and scanner for updating medical records, or something more critical to direct patient care, reliable power is essential when moving this equipment quickly and safely between wards,” explained Neil Oliver, technical marketing manager at Accutronics. “The power source must also be lightweight and robust. “Accutronics and Ultralife already meet this requirement globally with our existing medical cart batteries. But, with the X5, we set out to develop a complete power system that meets every practical need in healthcare settings.”
In 2021, Ultralife is enhancing its 12V smart U1 battery to offer an almost 20% increase in energy (from 492Wh to 584Wh) and also plans to introduce a 24V version later in the year. The X5 medical cart power system and enhanced smart U1 battery will be commercially available shortly after the HIMSS exhibition. Users interested in seeing the technology can register to attend the event online. The system will be displayed on stand 3856 at the show, which runs between August 9–13. Those unable to attend HIMSS can speak to a member of the Accutronics team on +44 (0) 1782 566688 or via. the online enquiry form. |
