Handling the device ► Please take note of the information in these instructions for use.
► Keep the instructions for use in a safe place. The instructions for use are a
component of the device and must be available at all times.
DANGER!
Risk of explosion
Do not use the device in an environment in which one of the following
gases has accumulated:
► oxygen
► flammable anesthetics
► other flammable substances/air mixtures
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
► Additional devices which are connected to electrical medical devic-
es must provide evidence of compliance with the relevant IEC or ISO
standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-processing devices). Further-
more, all configurations must comply with the requirements of stan-
dards for medical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or Section 16 of the
3rd edition of IEC 60601-1 respectively). Anyone connecting addi-
tional devices to electrical medical devices is considered a system
configurer and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system
complies with the requirements of standards for systems. Your at-
tention is drawn to the fact that local laws take precedence over the
above-mentioned requirements of standards. In the event of any
queries, please contact your local specialist dealer or Technical Ser-
vice.
► Please have servicing and BIA measuring technology checks per-
formed every two years.
► Technical modifications may not be made to the device. The device
does not contain any parts for servicing by the user. Only have ser-
vicing and repairs performed by an authorized seca service partner.
You can find service partners in your area at www.seca.com or by
sending an e-mail to service@seca.com.
► Only use original seca accessories and spare parts, otherwise seca
will not grant any warranty.
