Preventing device damage
Using the measured results
NOTICE!
Damage to device
►
Ensure that fluids and dust never get inside the device and the sen-
sors. They can damage the electronics.
►
Switch off the device before disconnecting the power supply unit
from the mains socket.
►
Disconnect the power supply unit from the mains socket if you in-
tend to not use the device for a longer period of time. Only this way
it can be ensured that the device is currentless.
►
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 sec-
tion 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 transport-
ed 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 ambient conditions outlined in "Intended
use".
►
Store the device only in the storage conditions outlined in "Intended
use".
►
Use only chlorine and alcohol-free disinfectants which are explicitly
suitable for acrylic sheet and other sensitive surfaces (active ingre-
dient: quaternary ammonium compounds, for example).
►
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
►
Do not use organic solvents (e.g. white spirit or petroleum spirit).
WARNING!
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.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard
In order to avoid misinterpretations, test results for medical use must
be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilogrammes, length:
metres) only. Some devices offer the ability to display test results in
other units. This is only an additional function.
►
Use the results exclusively in SI units.
►
The use of measurement results in non-SI units is the sole respon-
sibility of the user.
