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.
► Should the patient have contagious diseases, subject the device to a hygiene
treatment as described in the relevant section of these instructions for use
immediately afterwards.
► Ensure that the patient does not have any open wounds or infectious skin al-
terations which may come into contact with the device.
► Subject the device to a hygiene treatment at regular intervals.
NOTICE!
Damage to device
► Ensure that fluids never get inside the device. These can destroy the electron-
ics.
► Switch off the device before you disconnect the power supply unit from the
power supply socket.
► If the device is not to be used for an extended period, disconnect the power
supply unit from the power supply socket. Only then is the device de-ener-
gized.
► If you are not using the device for an extended period of time, remove batter-
ies or battery packs. Only then is the device de-energized.
► Do not drop the device.
► Do not subject the device to shocks or vibrations.
► Perform a function check before each use as described in the corresponding
section in this document. Do not operate the device if it is not working prop-
erly or is damaged.
► Do not place the device in direct sunlight and ensure that it is not placed in
the direct proximity of a heat source. The excessive temperatures could dam-
age the electronics.
► Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. If the device is transported so that a
temperature difference of over 20 °C occurs, the device must be left to stand
for at least 2 hours before it is switched on, otherwise condensation may
form; this may damage the electronics.
► Use the device only in the intended ambient conditions.
► Do not use the device over 3000 m above mean sea level. Electronic compo-
nents might become damaged.
► Store the device only in the intended storage conditions.
► Use only cleaning agents and disinfectants that match the details in the sec-
tion entitled "Hygiene treatment".
► Ensure that maximum capacity is not exceeded.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard
To prevent misinterpretations, measuring results for medical purposes must only
be displayed and used in SI units (kilograms/grams, meters/centimeters). Some
devices have the option of displaying measuring results in different units. This is
purely an additional function.
► Only use measuring results in SI units.
► The user takes sole responsibility for the use of measuring results in non-SI
units.
