4 Introduction
Welch Allyn Masted Scales
WARNING Electric shock hazard. Use only a Welch-Allyn approved power
supply. The use of an unapproved power supply could increase chassis or
patient leakage currents.
WARNING Electric shock hazard. Use only a Welch-Allyn approved power
supply. The use of an unapproved power supply could cause electric harm
and shock to you or the patient.
WARNING Electric shock hazard. All signal input and output (I/O)
connectors are intended for connection of only devices complying with IEC
60601-1, or other IEC standards (for example, IEC 60950), as applicable to
the scale. Connecting additional devices to the scale could increase chassis
or patient leakage currents. To maintain operator and patient safety,
consider the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1. Measure the leakage currents
to confirm that no electric shock hazard exists.
WARNING Electric shock hazard. Make sure that the USB (SIP/SOP) port
and the patient are never touched or come in contact at the same time.
WARNING Patient or operator injury risk. No modification of this
equipment is allowed.
WARNING Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation.
If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should
be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
WARNING Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those
specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
WARNING Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals
such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer
than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device or any related systems,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of
the performance of this equipment could result.
CAUTION Make sure that you routinely perform general maintenance and
equipment safety checks on your scale. Remove the scale from service
when you notice damaged power cable.
CAUTION Do not use this scale to transport patients or items.
CAUTION The scale may power down due to electrostatic discharge.
There is no risk associated with this action. Turn the scale on and it will
function normally.
