8. Guarantee and repair conditions
Guarantee:
I.E.M. provides a two-year guarantee on the hardware, that is, the actual ABP monitor. The
guarantee becomes invalid if the unit has been opened, incorrectly used or damaged deliber-
ately or as a result of negligence. The guarantee also becomes invalid if the equipment has
been repaired by an unauthorised person. The user may change only the NiMH batteries.
The guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear of rechargeable batteries, connector cable,
cuffs and tube. Under the terms of the guarantee, I.E.M. is liable only for faults that existed
when the customer acquired the product (and which may have come to light only later).
Furthermore, this guarantee is not applicable if the fault has been caused by failure to observe
the operating instructions, incorrect use, liquids, dampness, extreme temperature and climate
conditions or fluctuations, or by corrosion, oxidation, unauthorised interventions or attempts to
connect it, unauthorised opening or repair, attempts to repair using unauthorised parts, incor-
rect operation, incorrect installation, accidents, acts of God, spillage of food or drinks, chem-
ical effects or other external influences (faults in wearing parts such as batteries, which have
only a limited lifespan, are also excluded), unless the fault is directly due to flaws in material,
construction or manufacture.
Repair:
If the unit has functional errors, or if constant measurement anomalies occur, you should con-
tact your Mobil-O-Graph
®
specialist dealer or I.E.M. GmbH directly for repair and despatch
instructions.
Caution:
Do not open the housing. If the unit has been opened, all guarantees become null
and void.
MTK:
As evidence of continuing to comply with the basic requirements and general
Directives (e.g. 93/42/EEC, Medical Device Operators Ordinance Art. 11 and Appendix
2) the Mobil-O-Graph
®
monitor must be subject to metrological checks every two
years. In some countries, this requirement may be the subject of national laws or reg-
ulations.
Liability clause:
In all cases in which I.E.M. is obliged by contractual or legal reasons to damages or reimburse-
ment of expenses, we shall only be liable insofar as we, our executive personnel or auxiliary
staff can be charged with intent or gross negligence. Liability regardless of fault shall remain
unaffected in accordance with the Product Liability Act. Liability for culpable violation of fun-
damental contractual obligations shall also be unaffected; however, apart from cases in the
first and second sentence, liability shall be limited to the predictable damages typical for such
kind of contract.
A change in the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the buyer is not associated with the
aforementioned regulations. Liability for guarantees of condition or durability or by maliciously
concealing a defect is not affected by the aforementioned provisions.
