Reason
When astral ventilators are used with the internal battery as the sole power source, it is important to note that failure of the internal battery can lead to cessation of therapy without the low battery or critically low battery alarm sounding, even when the battery indicates that it is charged. This could put patients at risk to not getting therapy.
