Intended Use

To power the functions of various devices for which batteries or battery packs are configured. Since rechargeable batteries and battery packs are "device specific", and are designed to operate and fit into the equipment for which they were manufactured, only qualified personnel should evaluate, test, charge, or install these devices. This battery is shipped only to customers who request a replacement battery for a particular device or to replace a competitor's replacement battery. Biomedical equipment service professionals, EMT's, etc. therefore know that the intended use is as a replacement battery . Only replacement battery 2L226 in this submission (Patient Monitor) is provided Over-the-Counter (OTC). All other replacement batteries, specifically; 5L375, 6L577, 7L991, 9L977, 9L990, and 9L998 in this submission (Defib/AED's) are provided by presc ription only.

Device Story

Life+cel battery packs serve as primary, standby, or backup DC power sources for portable and stationary medical equipment. Input consists of electrical energy stored via chemical reaction; output is regulated DC power. Used in clinical settings (hospitals, EMS) by biomedical technicians or clinicians to replace OEM batteries. Operation involves installation into specific host devices (monitors, defibrillators). Benefits include continued device functionality during power loss or portability. Performance is verified against OEM benchmarks for voltage, capacity, and cycle life. Testing ensures compatibility with host device power requirements.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included Cadex C7400ER analyzer evaluation (3 charge/discharge cycles, 90% capacity threshold), voltage/polarity verification, and NETECH Model Delta 2000 defibrillator analyzer testing to confirm shock delivery capacity. Environmental testing performed at 0, 25, and 40°C. Mechanical integrity verified via drop testing (2-3 feet).

Technological Characteristics

Rechargeable/non-rechargeable battery packs using Sealed-Lead Acid (SLA), Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), or Lithium chemistries. Provides DC power. Form factor is device-specific to match OEM host equipment. Testing utilizes Cadex C7400ER analyzer and NETECH Delta 2000. No software algorithm class specified; testing uses software-based utility for parameter entry.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as replacement power sources for specific medical devices, including patient monitors and defibrillators/AEDs. Intended for use by qualified personnel, biomedical service professionals, or EMTs. Model 2L226 is available OTC; models 5L375, 6L577, 7L991, 9L977, 9L990, and 9L998 are prescription-only.

## Description:

Amco rechargeable and non-rechargeable battery packs are utilized as a primary direct current (d-c) power source or as a standby or backup d -c power source for portable as well as stationary medical equipment.

## Statement of Intended Use:

To power the functions of the specific devices for which the batteries or battery packs are intended for back-up power or portable use.

## Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The design components and functionality of the various battery packs listed are similar to those of their predicate devices. All these devices provide a means of supplying electrical power through chemical reaction. The energy provided depends upon the voltage and capacity rating of a particular pack and the amount of current used by the device into which they are installed. The performance and life span of these batteries depends on operating conditions of temperature, current drain, and the charge/discharge method (if applicable). These parameters are taken into account in designing such batteries. The goal is to develop battery packs that maintain capacity for as high and as long as possible. Typical cell chemistries are Sealed -Lead Acid (SLA), Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium based.

### BATTERY PACK TESTING - GENERAL PROTOCOL

#### INCOMING INSPECTION

All cells are inspected for correct specification, visible damage, and randomly voltage tested prior to acceptance. The lot numbers are recorded for tracking purposes should any fail during final assembly and inspection activities. Cases are also inspected for form, fit, function, and cosmetics.

#### CADEX TESTING

Voltage and capacity of battery cells and core packs are tested using a Cadex Electronics Battery Analyzer Model C7400ER (Extended Range) in the "Auto Mode" prior to installation into cases or shrink wrap. This exercises the batteries in order to identify performance characteristics by running them through three (3) full charge/discharge cycles. Tests typically take 12 hours for each battery pack.

All battery chemistries can be tested using custom test parameters, depending on Quality Control and customer requirements. This allows for various C -Rates, delta V (ΔV), and volts-per-cell to be entered into the test protocol through the Cadex Battery Shop Software utility (Reference Cadex Test Report Examples - Exhibit A).

Target capacity is the percentage of the battery capacity compared to nominal capacity and serves as a threshold, This threshold, or target capacity, can be set to any desired range (90 - 95% is typical).

Target capacity is a pass/fail mark and our batteries must meet or exceed a required threshold of 90%, or higher, prior to final Quality Control inspection. Any samples that do not meet the criteria are rejected, and subsequently, the entire lot is tested in this manner.

Battery packs are not shipped fully charged. There are specific DOT, FAA, and EPA requlations and quidelines that address these concerns.

#### VOLTAGE TESTING - Completed Packs

All Battery Packs are tested 100% for correct voltage / polarity prior to shipment. Those devices that fail are rejected and quarantined.

#### DEFIBRILLATOR TESTING

Independent testing (Beta Tests), as well as random tests on finished packs, are performed using NETECH Model Delta 2000 Defibrillator Analyzers to insure that they meet the expected number of shocks as specified by the OEM's.

### BATTERY PACK TESTING (continued)

#### SAFETY and PERFORMANCE

Safety and performance testing of battery packs are performed to ensure that these devices meet all functional requirements and performance specifications.

In comparison analysis. OEM Battery Packs set the benchmark. Replacement devices must meet or exceed these benchmark results consistently.

Concerns that are addressed during bench test comparison analysis are:

- = Life cycle
The replacement battery must provide as many or more charge and discharge cycles as the original. This is an ongoing process and is not part of the standard QC final inspection protocol. Shelf life, on the other hand, is based on the original cell manufacturer's specification sheets and Certificates of Conformance.

#### I Temperature

The replacement battery must function correctly over the same temperature range as compared to the original. Testing is done at 0, 25, and 40°C (32, 77, and 104°F respectively).

#### . Mechanical & Electrical Component Integrity

Normal testing would involve drop tests from a predetermined height, usually 2-3 feet, onto a hard, uniform surface. Battery packs are inspected for case cracks, cell separation, and electrical/electronic component damaqe. Root cause analysis is performed should any damage occur.

- If there is no visible damage, the battery is tested for form, fit, and function.

- Active Safety devices are inspected and tested before use and after installation.
