CAUTION
•
To avoid damage to the scale electronic components, do not lean on the accessory bracket housing the scale
module.
•
Do not use a two or three stage fixed IV pole at the foot end of a stretcher equipped with the scale.
•
The scale weighing zone is made up of all the upper part of the stretcher, including the safety end/siderails, the
accessory brackets, the drainage bag hooks, the chart and monitor holders (optional) located under the mattress
support. Ensure no external object is in contact with the stretcher during a weighing or when zeroing the scale.
•
To maintain the scale accuracy, it is recommended to zero the scale at least once a week. Note that the patient
must be removed from the stretcher before zeroing the scale.
•
Use only 1.5 VDC alkaline batteries. The use of batteries other than the one recommended may damage the scale
electronic components.
•
Remove the batteries if the scale module or the stretcher is not used for long periods.
•
Always store the IV Caddy when not in use to avoid damaging it when the stretcher is moved.
•
The weight of the IV bags should not exceed 40 lb (18 kg).
•
Do not install a two or three-stage fixed IV pole at the foot end of a stretcher equipped with the scale.
•
Do not use the protective top as a push/pull device.
Note
•
Throughout the manual, the words “right” and “left” refer to the right and left sides of a patient lying face up on
the stretcher.
