Preventing damage to device

Handling measured results

NOTICE!
Damage to device
►
Ensure that no liquids enter the device. They can damage the elec-
tronics.
►
Switch off the device before disconnecting the power supply unit
from the mains socket.
►
For devices with power supply operation: Disconnect the power
supply unit from the mains socket if you intend to not use the device
for a longer period of time. Only this way it can be ensured that the
device is de-energized.
►
For devices with battery or rechargeable battery operation: If you do
not use the device for an extended period of time, remove batteries
or rechargeable batteries. Only this way it can be ensured that the
device is 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 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).
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
a hospital information system), make sure that the measurement
values are plausible.
►
If measurement values are transmitted to seca PC software or a
hospital information system, make sure prior to further use that the
measurement values are plausible and are assigned to the correct
patient.
