First off, I'm not a medical professional, I am an electromechanical technician and mechanical engineer so if I'm missing any medical reasons why this idea won't work please tell me. I need to know if it is possible to operate an EverFlo unit, or really any concentrator off of a PC UPS. It doesn't need to work for long, just enough time for someone to be able to set up a tank or get help in the event of a power failure, basically 10 to 20 minutes. I know they sell big expensive generators for this, but those are for 36 hour or more outages. If my calculations are accurate, the EverFlo has a peak consumption of 408 Watts and according to the units spec sheet, typical is 350 watts. Assuming a 25% loss in power for conversion from DC to AC a 900 watt UPS should be able operate the unit for a little over an hour, Does this seem reasonable? Am I missing something that would prevent this from working? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone changed the lid seal on the Rexmed RAU 530 before. Do you undo the nut in the centre of the undersurface of the lid to loosen the plate. I cant get the old seal out.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here within the community has ever had any complaints from clinicians about door latches on the Alaris 8100 Infusion Pumps being difficult to open. With and without the IV set in. Is it normal for the pumps to have a little resistance to them as you try to open or close? If you open the doors slow it is difficult to open. If you are quick and kind of flick the latch up the doors open fairly easy. In an older publication from BD it stated though that flicking the latch open is not a safe/recommended practice since it can cause fluid to potentially free flow. At least for the door latches that had a centered sear pin design. It also seems like all the replacement door latches no longer have the set screw adjustment on the Sear and now just have a plastic bump that was cast into the mold during production. So it does not look like it's possible to make any adjustments. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
