Prevent damage to device NOTICE!
Damage to device
► Ensure that no liquids enter the device. They can damage the
electronics.
► Switch off the device (if option is provided) before you take the po-
wer supply connector out of the power supply socket.
► If you are not going to use the device for an extended period, dis-
connect the power supply connector from the power supply socket
and remove the rechargeable battery (if present and removable).
Only then is the device de-energized.
► 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 the air openings of the device (if present) are not cov-
ered.
► 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 transpor-
ted 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 disinfectants free of chlorine and alcohol which are expli-
citly suitable for acrylic sheet and other sensitive surfaces (active in-
gredient: 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).
Handling measured results 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
responsibility of the user.
NOTICE!
Inconsistent measuring results
► Before you electronically save measurement values determined us-
ing this device and use them further (e.g. in seca PC software or in
an EMR system), make sure that the measurement values are plau-
sible.
► If measurement values are transmitted to seca PC software or an
EMR system, make sure prior to further use that the measurement
values are plausible and are assigned to the correct patient.
