WARNING!
Risk of infection
► Before and after every measurement, wash your hands to reduce
the risk of cross-contamination and nosocomial infections.
► Hygienically reprocess the device regularly as described in the
respective section in this document.
► Make sure that the patient has no infectious diseases.
► Make sure that the patient has no open wounds or infectious skin
alterations, which may come into contact with the device.
NOTICE!
Damage to device
► If liquids have penetrated the device, the device may not be opera-
tional for a short period. Allow the device to dry for an extended pe-
riod (e.g. overnight), before starting it up again.
► Switch off the device before you take the power supply connector
out of the power supply socket.
► If you are not going to use the device for an extended period, dis-
connect the power supply connector from the power supply socket
and remove the rechargeable battery (if present and removable).
Only then is the device de-energized.
► Make sure not to drop the device.
► Do not expose the device to any impacts or vibrations.
► Perform function controls regularly as described in the relevant sec-
tion in this document. Do not operate the device if it is damaged or
not working properly.
► Ensure that the air openings of the device (if present) are not cov-
ered.
► Ensure that there is no heat source in the immediate vicinity. Do not
expose to direct sunlight. The excessive temperature could damage
the electronics.
► Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. When the device is transport-
ed so that a temperature difference of more than 20 °C occurs, it
must stay turned off for at least 2 hours before it can be turned on
again. Otherwise, condensation water will form which can damage
the electronics.
► Use the device only in the intended ambient conditions.
► Store the device only in the intended storage conditions.
► Use only disinfectants free of chlorine and alcohol which are explic-
itly suitable for acrylic sheet and other sensitive surfaces (active in-
gredient: quaternary ammonium compounds, for example).
► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
► Do not use organic solvents (e.g. white spirit or petroleum spirit).
► Use disinfectants including the active ingredient 70 % isopropanol
only for measuring accessories for measuring vital signs.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard
In order to avoid misinterpretations, measuring results for medical use
must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: Kilograms/grams,
length: Meters/centimeters) only. Some devices offer the ability to dis-
play measuring results in other units. This is only an additional func-
tion.
► Use the results exclusively in SI units.
► The use of measuring results in non-SI units is the sole responsibility
of the user.
