Preventing damage to device

Handling measuring results

WARNING!
Risk of infection
► Before and after every measurement, wash your hands to reduce
the risk of cross-contamination and nosocomial infections.
► Hygienically reprocess the device regularly as described in the
respective section in this document.
► Make sure that the patient has no infectious diseases.
► Make sure that the patient has no open wounds or infectious skin
alterations, which may come into contact with the device.
NOTICE!
Damage to device
► Ensure that fluids and dust never get inside the device and the
sensors. They can damage the electronics.
► 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.
► Use the device only under the intended ambient conditions.
► Store the device only under the intended storage conditions.
► Observe the information in the technical data concerning cooling
times after storage at very high temperatures or warm-up times after
storage at very low temperatures.
► Use alcohol-based disinfectant (e.g. 70 % ethanol) exclusively.
► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
NOTICE!
Inconsistent measuring results
► Before you electronically save measured values determined using
this device and use them further (e.g. in seca PC software or in an
EMR system), make sure that the measured values are plausible.
► If measured values are transmitted to seca PC software or an EMR
system, make sure prior to further use that the measured values are
plausible and are assigned to the correct patient.
WARNING!
Incorrect measurement due to reflections
If there are objects or people in the immediate vicinity of the device,
incorrect measurements will result.
► Ensure that there are no objects or people within 0.5 meter of the
front or side of the device during the measuring process.
► Ensure that the device is at least 0.2 meter away from the wall.
► Ensure that the patient is not wearing any kind of hair accessory on
top of the head.
