Abstract

A battery-powered medical device comprising: an outer housing having an opening formed therein; at least one power source housed within the outer housing, the outer housing being configured to at least partially enclose the at least one power source so as to prevent contamination of the at least one power source with biohazardous materials, and the at least one power source being removable from the outer housing via the opening; a cover configured to cover the opening in the outer housing and to retain the at least one power source within the outer housing, and an actuator provided within the outer housing that directly engages with a portion of the at least one power source when the cover covers the opening in the outer housing. The cover is configured to be operated to expose the opening in the outer housing, and when the cover is operated to expose the opening, the actuator is configured to pull the at least one power source from the outer housing and the outer housing is configured to release the at least one power source via the opening without requiring physical contact between the user and the at least one power source. The outer housing comprises a handle and an operative portion coupled to the handle.
