(b)(4) -maintenance does not comply to manufacturers recommendations.Corrected (b)(4) should have been unchecked.The reported complaint was confirmed.During the laboratory evaluation, the product surveillance technician (pst) observed the batteries were received in a severely depleted condition.After charging 14 hours, both batteries met the specifications for the characteristics evaluated.The voltage at each of the batteries was 13.2 vdc (typical).Conductance values were also typical at 534 siemens(s) and 537s.This indicates that both batteries properly accepted charging.13.2 vdc is typical for a battery having a full charge.375s is the minimum requirement for conductance.The batteries held the load for approximately 67 minutes.Minimum requirement with the stated load is 50 minutes.No anomalies observed upon receipt of batteries.The batteries were not being properly maintained, the customer had the unit plugged in but not turned on which would not charge the batteries.The fsr reminded the perfusionist about proper maintenance.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
