Handling measuring results

Handling packaging material

Handling batteries and
rechargeable batteries
CAUTION!
Patient hazard
In order to avoid misinterpretations, measuring results for medical use
must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilogrammes, length:
metres) only. Some devices offer the ability to display measuring
results in other units. This is only an additional function.
► Use the results exclusively in SI units.
► The use of measurement results in non-SI units is the sole
responsibility of the user.
NOTICE!
Inconsistent measuring results
► Before you electronically save measurement values determined
using this device and use them further (e.g. in seca PC software or
in an EMR system), make sure that the measurement values are
plausible.
► If measurement values are transmitted to seca PC software or an
EMR system, make sure prior to further use that the measurement
values are plausible and are assigned to the correct patient.
WARNING!
Risk of suffocation
Packaging material made of plastic foil (bags) is a choking hazard.
► Keep packaging material out of reach of children.
► In the event that the original packing material may not be available
anymore, only use plastic bags with security holes in order to reduce
the risk of suffocation. Use recyclable materials if possible.
NOTE
Keep the original packing material for future use (e.g. returning for
servicing).
WARNING!
Personal injury as a result of improper handling
Batteries and rechargeable batteries contain harmful substances
which may explode if not handled properly.
► Do not try to recharge batteries.
► Do not expose (rechargeable) batteries to heat.
► Do not burn (rechargeable) batteries.
► If acid is leaking out, avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. Rinse affected areas with plenty of clean water and
seek medical help at once.
NOTICE!
Damage to device and malfunctions with improper handling
► Only use the type of (rechargeable) battery specified in this
document.
► When replacing (rechargeable) batteries, always replace a complete
set at a time.
► Do not short-circuit (rechargeable) batteries.
► If you do not use the device for a long period of time, remove the
batteries (incl. rechargeable batteries). This prevents acid from leak-
ing into the device.
► If acid leaked into the device, discontinue use. Have the device
checked by an authorised seca Service partner and repaired if
necessary.
