It is important that the backup power service (BPS) of the Puritan Bennett 840 ventilator is fully functional in the event that the ventilator loses power while providing for a patient.
The BPS battery pack can be found in one of two places. If the ventilator stands on a pole connected to four wheels, it does not have a compressor, and the battery is located directly above the wheels. If the ventilator does not stand on a single pole, the battery is located in the compressor mount cart. This guide covers the replacement of the BPS battery in ventilators with compressors.
For more information on replacing the BPS battery, please refer to page 8-114 (section 8.18.3) in the service manual.
