Evaluation is in progress, but not yet concluded.Per the user facility's biomedical engineer (biomed), the batteries state that they are fully charged.The second perfusionist said that the batteries are showing 225 minutes.When removed from a/c power at 08:52 am today ((b)(6) 2014), the back-up battery functioned as expected.Just prior to the case, at 12:15 pm, a/c power was removed and the system did not go onto back up battery power.This issue was duplicated by their biomed.Per the perfusionist, on (b)(6) 2014 he unplugged from a/c power from the system-1 and battery backup worked as expected.
