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.
