use.
• Keep the instructions for use in a safe place.
DANGER!

CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
• Additional devices that are connected to medical electrical
devices must be demonstrably in accordance with their
corresponding IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-
processing devices). Furthermore, all configurations must
correspond to the normative requirements for medical systems
(see IEC 60601-1-1 or section 16 of the 3rd edition of IEC 60601-
1, respectively). The person who connects additional devices to
medical electrical devices is the system configurator and is
therefore responsible for ensuring that the system matches the
normative requirements for systems. We would like to point out
that local laws regarding normative requirements take
precedence. Please direct any queries to your local specialist
dealer or Technical Service.
• Please have maintenance, recalibration and BIA measuring
technology checks performed every two years.
• The device does not contain any parts to be maintained by the
user. Please only have maintenance, technical checks and repairs
performed by an authorized service partner. You can find service
partners in your area at www.seca.com or by sending an e-mail
to [email protected].
• Only use original seca accessories and spare parts. Otherwise,
seca will not grant any warranty.
