SAFT - Prismatic, Cylindrical, Lithium-Ion and Primary Lithium Batteries

Like on board an aircraft or within an emergency location transmitter, power failure in a hospital or within an automated cardiac defibrillator is not an option. This is why the medical industry relies on Saft batteries.

Saft designs and manufactures a wide range of battery technologies to power medical equipment or to protect buildings from power grid failures. Primary or rechargeable batteries are available from Saft, in a wide array of electrochemistries. Saft’s application engineers will support you to select between Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Lithium-ion and many other technologies to best answer your need.

WHEN LIGHT WEIGHT AND HIGH COMPACTNESS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The high energy density of Saft batteries bring long operating times, even to highly compact devices. The lightweight design is particularly appreciated when patients have to carry the device for a complete day, for instance when taking blood pressure measurements.

Saft also designs complete battery systems, with chargers to power electric wheelchairs, mobile healing stations and other mobile applications. They rely on Ni-Cd, Ni-MH or Li-ion cells.

WHEN POWER CAN SAVE LIFE - COMPACT POWER SOURCES

Saft batteries not only provide a compact power source. Their proven track record and excellent reliability also make them the best choice to power life saving equipment such as Automatic Cardiac Defibrillators (ACD). Many aircraft around the world fly with Saft powered ACDs.

Saft dependably powers a wide range of ambulatory medical devices, such as drug pumps or portable ventilation units.

EMERGENCY POWER AND SECURITY SYSTEMS FOR HOSPITALS

Saft delivers the batteries required by emergency power and security systems as well as for medical computers. They are installed in medical centers, intensive care units and surgery theatres, where lighting interruption can be a matter of life and death. In addition, the building UPS and diesel generator with its associated engine starting battery rely also on Saft.

Various types of metering systems are often installed in hospitals to measure all types of fluids, electricity, gas and water. Saft is a leader in primary batteries for smart meters.

IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL BATTERY DEVICES

Saft has teamed up with the French Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) to develop a small rechargeable battery, in the frame of the European Union financed Healthy Aims project. Potential applications include the rapidly growing number of implantable devices that bring comfort to the patients: cochlear implants, etc.
