Pointoselect Digital DT | Instruction Manual
Maintenance and Cleaning
No special care or cleaning agents are necessary for the Pointoselect digital DT. The Pointoselect digital
DT and the hand probe should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth. Alcohol (70 %) applied to a soft
cloth can be used for cleaning purposes. Particular care must be taken when cleaning the tip of the hand
probe. Tissue and fat deposits can collect between the inner and outer sensors and cause faulty
measurements. To clean, carefully retract the outer sensor and wipe the inner sensor with a suitably
treated piece of cotton wool. We recommend to clean the sensors of the probe with a piece of cotton
wool after each use.
Ensure that no moisture enters the device and the hand probe. If moisture does enter the device or the
hand probe, then the device/hand probe must undergo a technical inspection before being used again.
Classification
The Pointoselect Digital DT has been designed as a class IIa product in accordance with appendix IX of
the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
Information on Battery Disposal and Recycling Disposal of batteries
Battery Act Section 18 – Information according to the German Batteries Act and in regards to the
EU guidelines
By recycling your used batteries via dedicated battery collection points you're contributing to protecting
our environment and the earth's natural resources. Batteries are made from important resources and
chemicals, including lead, cadmium, zinc, lithium and mercury. If batteries are disposed of as normal
municipal household waste, they'll be taken to a landfill site and those resources will be lost and will
contribute to the pollution of the environment. Recycling is one way you can help the environment.
You are bound by law to dispose of used batteries separately from other waste, using the
collection and recycling schemes available.
Your role in contributing to the recycling of waste batteries and in preventing pollution of the environment
is essential. Each used battery that you place in a recycling box will be taken apart and many of the
materials will be recovered and used to make new batteries or something else.
All batteries are labeled with the crossed-out wheeled bin below, to indicate that they should not be
disposed of as normal waste, but in specific recycling centres.
Batteries containing hazardous substances such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) are
marked with their chemical symbol as well.
We take back and recycle own used batteries free of charge if brought personally or mailed with
sufficient postage to the following address:
Pierenkemper GmbH
Ernst-Befort-Strasse 5-7
35578 Wetzlar / Germany
You may also contact your local authority for information on a recycling facility in your country/area that
will take your used batteries.
