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.
► In the interest of patient safety, you and your patients are obliged to report
serious events that occur in connection with this product to the manufac-
turer and the authority responsible in your country.
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
devices must provide evidence of compliance with the relevant IEC
or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-processing devices).
Furthermore, all configurations must comply with the requirements
of standards for medical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or Section 16
of edition 3.1 of IEC 60601-1 respectively). Anyone connecting
additional 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.
This also applies to additional devices recommended by seca. Your
attention 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
Service.
► Have servicing carried out regularly as described in the relevant
section of this document.
► Technical modifications may not be made to the device. The device
does not contain any parts for servicing by the user. Only have
servicing 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.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, malfunction
► Keep other electrical medical devices, e.g. high-frequency surgical
devices, a minimum distance of approx. 1 meter away to prevent
incorrect measurements or wireless transmission interference.
► Keep HF devices such as cell phones a minimum distance of
approx. 1 meter away to prevent incorrect measurements or
wireless transmission interference.
► The actual transmission output of HF equipment may require
minimum distances of more than 1 meter. Details can be found at
