NOTICE!
Damage to device
►
Ensure that fluids and dust never get inside the device and the sen-
sors. They can damage the electronics.
►
Switch off the device before disconnecting the power supply unit
from the mains socket.
►
Disconnect the power supply unit from the mains socket if you in-
tend to not use the device for a longer period of time. Only this way
it can be ensured that the device is currentless.
►
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 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 transport-
ed 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 chlorine and alcohol-free disinfectants which are explicitly
suitable for acrylic sheet and other sensitive surfaces (active ingre-
dient: 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).
WARNING!
Patient hazard
This device is no diagnostic device. It simply assists the treating phy-
sician in establishing a diagnosis.
►
In order to make a precise diagnosis and initiate therapeutic mea-
sures, besides determination of the weight, further targeted exami-
nations must be set up by the physician, and their results must be
considered.
►
The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment lies with the treating
physician.
