Medical mannequin runs on Li-ion cells
Medical Education Technologies is using Saft lithium-ion batteries to power a portable human patient simulator called iStan.
Saft has been selected to provide lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for a portable human patient simulator called iStan developed by Medical Education Technologies (METI).
The iStan is the first wireless simulator product manufactured by METI.
The iStan" is a full-size, computer-driven mannequin with a pulse, heartbeat and blinking eyes.
The iStan mirrors human responses to various medical procedures such as IV medication, intubation and CPR.
Saft's batteries will be the primary power source for the iStan.
METI is the world's leading manufacturer of medical simulation products that simulate real-world medical emergencies.
METI simulators provide students, first responders and military medics with hands-on experience without harming real patients.
"We chose Saft for their proven track record of performance and adaptability to custom applications", said Carlos Moreno, VP of Engineering of METI.
"We are confident Saft's Li-ion batteries will provide our customers with unparalleled reliability so they can focus on teaching life-saving techniques".
"Saft is pleased to provide power for METI's iStan", said Glen Bowling, Sales and Marketing Direction, Specialty Battery Group Division of Saft.
"METI shares our goal to provide medical innovations to our customers and our high-power Li-ion batteries are the perfect match for the iStan".
Saft will supply METI with its rechargeable and maintenance-free MP176065 battery packs.
Each iStan can accommodate up to four battery packs, depending on programming complexity and power demands.
With a very high-energy density (375Wh/litre and 165Wh/kg) and excellent charge recovery, these batteries will provide an optimal solution for METI's portable iStan.
