NOTICE!
Inconsistent measuring results
► Before you save and continue using measured values determined
using this device (e.g. in seca software or in an EMR system), en-
sure that the measured values are plausible.
► If measured values have been sent to seca software or to an EMR
system, ensure before continuing to use them that the measured
values are plausible and assigned to the correct patient.
WARNING!
Risk of suffocation
Packaging materials made of plastic film (bags) present a risk of suffo-
cation.
► Store packaging material out of the reach of children.
► If the original packaging material is no longer available, only use
plastic bags with safety holes to reduce the risk of suffocation. Use
recyclable materials if possible.
NOTE
Store the original packaging material for future use (e.g. returning for
servicing).
WARNING!
Injury
Batteries and rechargeable batteries contain harmful substances
which may explode and so escape if not handled properly.
► Do not try to recharge batteries.
► Do not expose batteries/rechargeable batteries to heat.
► Do not burn batteries/rechargeable batteries.
► If acid is leaking out, avoid contact with the skin, eyes, and mucous
membranes. Rinse affected areas of the body with plenty of clean
water and seek medical help at once.
NOTICE!
Damage to device and malfunction due to incorrect handling
► Use only the type of battery/rechargeable battery quoted in this
document.
► Always replace all batteries/rechargeable batteries at the same
time.
► Do not short-circuit batteries/rechargeable batteries.
► If you do not use the device for an extended period of time, remove
the batteries/rechargeable batteries. This prevents acid from leak-
ing into the device.
► If acid has penetrated the device, do not continue using it. Have
the device checked by an authorized seca service partner and re-
paired if necessary.
