CAUTION!
Patient hazard, malfunction
• Keep other medical devices, e.g. high-frequency surgical

devices, at a minimum distance of approx. 1 meter to prevent
incorrect measurement or faults with wireless transmission.

• Keep HF devices such as cell phones at a minimum distance of

approx. 1 meter to prevent incorrect measurement or faults with
wireless transmission.

Preventing electric shock

WARNING!
Electric shock
• Never touch the power supply with wet hands.

• Do not use an extension cable and multiple outlets. This also

applies for the USB connection on the touchscreen display.

• Make sure that the power cable is not crimped and cannot be

damaged by sharp edges.

• Do not operate the device above a height of 3000 m.

Preventing injuries and infections

WARNING!
Patient hazard
• Prepare the device hygienically after each measurement (see

“Hygienic preparation” on page 64).

• Ensure that the patient does not have any contagious diseases.

• Ensure that the patient does not have any wounds on the palms

on their hands or the soles of their feet.

• Ensure that the positioning of the device is steady and even.

• The device is not designed to be a stand assist. Assist people

with limited mobility, e.g. when they are sitting up from a
wheelchair.

• Ensure that the weighing platform is dry before the patient steps

onto it.

• Ensure that the patient has dry feet before they step onto the

weighing platform.

• Ensure that the patient does not step directly onto the edges of

the weighing platform.

• Ensure that the patient steps onto the weighing platform slowly

and safely.

• Route the network and power cable such that no one can trip

over them.

Preventing device damage

ATTENTION!
Damage to device
• Make sure that fluids never get inside the device. These can

destroy the electronics.

• Switch off the device before you disconnect the power pack from

the power supply.

• If device is not be used for a longer period of time, disconnect the

power pack from the power supply. Only then is the device out of
operation.

• Do not let the device fall.

• Do not subject the device to heavy jolts or vibrations.

• Do not place the device in direct sunlight and make sure that it is

not placed in direct proximity of a heat source. High temperatures
could damage the electronics.

• Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. If the device is transported

where a temperature difference of more than 20 °C occurs, the
device must be left alone for two hours before it is switched back
on. Otherwise, condensate may form; this can damage the
electronics.
