Preventing electric shock
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
► Additional devices connected to medical electrical devices must
provide evidence of compliance with the relevant IEC or ISO stan-
dards (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 de-
vices to medical electrical devices is considered a system configu-
rator and therefore responsible for ensuring that the system com-
plies with the requirements of standards for systems. This also ap-
plies 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.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
► 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 user-serviceable parts. Only have servicing
and repairs performed by an authorized seca service partner. You
can find a service partner in your vicinity at www.seca.com or by
emailing service@seca.com.
► Use only seca original accessories and spare parts, otherwise seca
will not grant any warranty.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, malfunction
► Keep other medical electrical devices, e.g. high-frequency surgical
devices, a minimum distance of approx. 1 meter away to prevent
faulty measurements or wireless transmission interference.
► Keep HF devices such as cellphones at a minimum distance of ap-
prox. 1 meter to prevent faulty measurements or wireless transmis-
sion interference.
► The actual transmission output of HF devices may require minimum
distances of more than 1 meter. For details, go to www.seca.com.
WARNING!
Electric shock
► Set up devices which can be operated with a power supply unit so
that the power supply socket is within easy reach and the power
supply can be disconnected quickly.
► Ensure that your local electricity supply matches the details on the
power supply unit.
► Never touch the power supply unit with wet hands.
► Do not use extension cables and multiple outlets.
► Ensure that cables are not crushed or damaged by sharp edges.
► Ensure that cables do not come into contact with hot objects.
► Do not operate the device at an altitude of more than 3000 m
above sea level.
