IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR EQUIPMENT CARE
It is important to consider that the measurement of bio-impedance involves
measuring highly sensitive values. Therefore, care should be exercised when
handling the equipment, in particular the Cable Leads.
Detailed below are guidelines that we recommend should be followed:
1. The BODYSTAT
1500 is calibrated with the exact length of leads which
are screened/shielded from outside electrical interference and noise to
ensure greatest level of measurement accuracy. Therefore, it is
recommended that only leads supplied by Bodystat Limited are to be used.
2. Computers and other electrical equipment close by can cause interference
with the hardware device which may affect the impedance measurement.
3. Regular calibration checks of the equipment are recommended (refer to
CALIBRATION section).
4. Care should be taken at all times to avoid damaging the cables, ie they should
not be tangled together and avoid tightly rolling them when not in use.
5. It is recommended that the replacement of both sets of cables is made at
least annually. However, replacement may be required more frequently if
the cables are in constant use. Guidance can be given by the Bodystat
Head Office.
6. Disposal of consumables after use or become exhausted:
Batteries - these must be disposed of as per local regulations;
Electrodes - these may be disposed of as normal waste.
7. Duracell® batteries only should be used - NOT re-chargeables. Batteries
should be clicked into place firmly to avoid excessive battery drainage.
