Preventing damage to 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.
►
Ensure that there is no heat source in the immediate vicinity. Do not
expose to direct sunlight. The excessive temperature could damage
the electronics.
►
Ensure that the air openings of the device (if present) are not
covered.
►
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.
►
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.
Handling measuring results
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 measuring results in non-SI units is the sole responsibility
of the user.
NOTICE!
Inconsistent measuring results
►
Before you electronically save measured values determined using
this device and use them further (e.g. in seca PC software or in an
EMR system), make sure that the measured values are plausible.
►
If measured values are transmitted to seca PC software or an EMR
system, make sure prior to further use that the measured values are
plausible and are assigned to the correct patient.
