To power the functions of various devices for which batteries or battery packs are

configured.

Since rechargeable batteries and battery packs are "device specific", and are

designed to operate and fit into the equipment for which they were manufactured,

only qualified personnel should evaluate, test, charge, or install these devices.

This battery is shipped only to customers who request a replacement battery for

a particular device or to replace a competitor's replacement battery. Biomedical

equipment service professionals, EMT's, etc. therefore know that the intended

use is as a replacement battery.

Only replacement battery 2L226 in this submission (Patient Monitor) is provided

Over-the-Counter (OTC).

All other replacement batteries, specifically; 5L375, 6L577, 7L991, 9L977, 9L990,

and 9L998 in this submission (Defib/AED's) are provided by prescription only.
