4 Basic Information (General)
This height measuring rod according to guideline 93/42/EWG is
provided for determination the body height in medical practice
and for medical survey, examination and treatment.
Defined
purpose
Indication:
Determining the body height in the medical practice area.
At an upright standing person, or at a lying baby, the height
measuring rod is applied to head and feet in a manner that on
the display or scale the body height value can be read.
Contraindication:
No contraindication known.
Proper use
This height measuring rod is used to determine the height of
persons while standing upright, or of lying babies, according to its
model, in medical treatment localities. This height measuring rod
is suitable to detect, prevent and survey diseases.
Ensure that the height measuring rod may only come into contact
only with uninjured skin.
Improper Use
The structure of the height measuring rod may not be modified.
This may result in incorrect measuring results, safety-related
defects as well as destruction.
The height measuring rod may only be used according to the
described conditions. Other areas of use must be released by
KERN in writing.
Warranty
Warranty claims shall be voided in case
Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored

Test device
control
For height measuring rods, we recommend a metrological
examination of the accuracy of the measuring rod, however,
this is not mandatory as the determination of human body
height involves rather large, intrinsic inaccuracies.
