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:
• The BODYSTAT
1500MDD 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.
• You should be aware that computers and other electrical equipment can
cause interference which may adversely affect the impedance measurement.
• Regular calibration checks of the equipment are recommended, and we also
suggest that a log of calibration tests is maintained as a record in the
BODYSTAT
1500MDD Body Manager Pro software. For guidance on
creating a Calibration Log, please see the section of the User’s Guide called
CALIBRATION.
• 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.
• Cleaning Instructions: The hardware unit should periodically be wiped with a
clean damp cloth.
• 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.
• Duracell® batteries only should be used - NOT re-chargeables. Batteries
should be clicked into place firmly to avoid excessive battery drainage.
