►
Disconnect the power supply unit from the
mains socket if you intend to not use the de-
vice for a longer period of time. Only this way
it can be ensured that the device is current-
less.
►
Make sure not to drop the device.
►
Do not expose the device to any impacts or
vibrations.
►
Perform function controls regularly as de-
scribed in the relevant section in this docu-
ment. Do not operate the device if it is
damaged or not working properly.
►
Ensure that there is no heat source in the im-
mediate vicinity. Do not expose to direct sun-
light. The excessive temperature could
damage the electronics.
►
Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. When
the device is transported so that a tempera-
ture difference of more than 20 °C occurs, it
must stay turned off for at least 2 hours be-
fore it can be turned on again. Otherwise,
condensation water will form which can dam-
age the electronics.
►
Use only chlorine and alcohol-free disinfec-
tants which are explicitly suitable for acrylic
sheet and other sensitive surfaces (active in-
gredient: quaternary ammonium com-
pounds, for example).
►
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning
agents.
►
Do not use organic solvents (e.g. white spirit
or petroleum spirit).

assists the treating physician in establishing a
diagnosis.
►
In order to make a precise diagnosis and ini-
tiate therapeutic measures, besides determi-
nation of the weight, further targeted
examinations must be set up by the physi-
cian, and their results must be considered.

The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment
lies with the treating physician.
