Clinical and Service Value

The Battery Charger Board is an essential component for maintaining the operational integrity of OEC mobile C-Arm systems. By ensuring that the battery is charged effectively, healthcare facilities can minimize downtime and enhance workflow efficiency. This reliability is critical in high-pressure environments such as operating rooms, where consistent imaging capabilities are paramount.

Furthermore, the durable construction of the Battery Charger Board reduces the frequency of replacements and maintenance interventions. The use of high-quality materials and components not only extends the lifespan of the board but also contributes to a more predictable maintenance schedule. This allows biomedical engineers and procurement teams to plan resources effectively, ensuring that imaging systems remain operational and ready for patient care.

Additional notes

The Battery Charger Board mounts at the rear of the C-Arm under the Rear Cover and Component Tray Cover of OEC mobile C-Arm systems. The board is used to charge the battery of the system. The board comprised of various components including resistors, capacitors, Bridge rectifier, power MOSFETs, inductors, semiconductor diodes, transistors, IC's and LEDs. Power Management circuits in the Workstation control the Battery Charger and there are basically four Battery Charger modes. These are Charge Boost, Normal Charge, Low Charge and Off modes. The mode selection is based upon the input current and voltage at the Workstation’s cord cap. The board has heat sink for effective heat dissipation for longer life. The circuit board is made up of a flame retardant glass laminated FR4 material and all the component used are of high quality which ensures long life. This board is a multilayer with Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) finish.
