No Honestly,
there are 2 tiny little plastic boxes (size of old fashioned match boxes) just after the bit that you plug into the device! the rep said something about "power surges", But what happens if this particular lead is swapped for any reason is that the machine wont charge.
This funnily enough was how i found out that the lead had been pinched and swapped.
The nurses were complaining to me that it wouldn't turn on.....(The fact that they had not plugged it in to actually charge it was cause number 1) Took a while for this to click admittedly.
I'm going to ask mole man about it next week.(hope i don't call him that inadvertently)
I have to admit that i wish that i had some form of technical training because i do believe that if i thought more like a Biomed and less like a nurse solutions would become more obvious to me.
I am not technically minded enough and this is a real handicap at times. But then that's why we have a Biomed dept because that is their job i know BUT not at night and at weekends it isn't.
