Preventing damage to device

Handling measuring results

WARNING!
Risk of infection
► Before and after every measurement, wash your hands to reduce
the risk of cross-contamination and nosocomial infections.
► Hygienically reprocess the device regularly as described in the
respective section in this document.
► Make sure that the patient has no infectious diseases.
► Make sure that the patient has no open wounds or infectious skin
alterations, which may come into contact with the device.
NOTICE!
Damage to device
► Ensure that no liquids enter the device. They can damage the
electronics.
► Switch off the device before disconnecting the power supply unit
from the mains socket.
► For devices with power supply operation: Disconnect the power
supply unit from the mains socket if you intend to not use the device
for a longer period of time. Only this way it can be ensured that the
device is de-energized.
► For devices with battery or rechargeable battery operation: If you do
not use the device for an extended period of time, remove batteries
or rechargeable batteries. Only this way it can be ensured that the
device is de-energized.
► Make sure not to drop the device.
► Do not expose the device to any impacts or vibrations.
► Perform function controls regularly as described in the relevant
section in this document. Do not operate the device if it is damaged
or not working properly.
► Ensure that there is no heat source in the immediate vicinity. Do not
expose to direct sunlight. The excessive temperature could damage
the electronics.
► Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. When the device is
transported so that a temperature difference of more than 20 °C
occurs, it must stay turned off for at least 2 hours before it can be
turned on again. Otherwise, condensation water will form which can
damage the electronics.
► Use the device only in the intended ambient conditions.
► Store the device only in the intended storage conditions.
► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
► Do not use organic solvents (e.g. white spirit or petroleum spirit).
CAUTION!
Patient hazard
In order to avoid misinterpretations, measuring results for medical use
must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilogrammes/
grammes, length: metres/centimetres) only. Some devices offer the
ability to display measuring results in other units. This is only an addi-
tional function.
► Use the results exclusively in SI units.
► The use of measuring results in non-SI units is the sole responsibility
of the user.
