Patient hazard
This device is no diagnostic device. It simply assists the treating phy-
sician in establishing a diagnosis.
►
In order to make a precise diagnosis and initiate therapeutic mea-
sures, besides determination of the weight, further targeted exami-
nations must be set up by the physician, and their results must be
considered.
►
The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment lies with the treating
physician.
