take note of this information, you may damage the device, or the mea-
sured results may be incorrect.

Includes additional information about use of the device.
►
Please take note of the information in these instructions for use.
►
Keep the instructions for use in a safe place. The instructions for use are a

DANGER!
Risk of explosion
Do not use the device in an environment in which one of the following
gases has accumulated:
►
oxygen
►
flammable anesthetics
►
other flammable substances/air mixtures
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
►
Additional devices which are connected to electrical medical
devices must provide evidence of compliance with the relevant IEC
or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-processing devices).
Furthermore, all configurations must comply with the requirements
of standards for medical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or Section 16
of the 3rd edition of IEC 60601-1 respectively). Anyone connecting
additional devices to electrical medical devices is considered a
system configurer and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the
system complies with the requirements of standards for systems.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that local laws take precedence
over the above-mentioned requirements of standards. In the event
of any queries, please contact your local specialist dealer or
Technical Service.

Have servicing carried out regularly as described in the relevant
section of this document.

approx. 1 meter away to prevent incorrect measurements or
wireless transmission interference.
