Primary batteries are single-use electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical power for medical devices. They power active implantable devices, external medical instruments, or portable equipment where mains power isn’t practical, such as defibrillators or backup systems for programmable devices.
These batteries are regulated based on their intended use and risk level, often classified under electrical or implantable device standards. They must comply with safety and performance requirements like IEC 60086-1, ensuring consistency in size, chemistry, and reliability for clinical applications.
