device is:
- in perfect condition and working well,
- suitable for use: only the techniques that are not crossed out are permitted,

Improper use, deformation, falls, wear, chemical contamination, exposure
to temperatures below -30°C or higher than +50°C for the textile/plastic
components/devices, and +100°C for metal devices, are some examples of
other causes that may reduce, limit or end the life of the device. We strongly
