3 Basic Information (General)
Weighing instruments have to be verified for the purposes stated below in accordance with Directive 90/384/EEC. Article 1,
paragraph 4. “Determination of mass in the practice of medicine
that is, weighing patients for reasons of medical supervision during medical surveillance, examination and treatment.”
Indication
Determining the body weight in the medical practice area. Operated as “non-automatic weighing instrument” which
means that you have to carefully put he baby in the centre of the weighing pan. Once a steady display value is shown, you can read the weight value.
Contra-
indication
No contraindication known
Scales fitted with a serial interface may only be connected to appliances in compliance with Directive EN60601-1.
To prevent babies lying on the weighing pan from falling off the scale, they must be watched all the time. Please observe note on weighing pan!
3.1 Specific function
3.2 Proper use
These scales serve as a means of determining the weight of babies in medical treatment rooms. The scales are suitable for recognising, preventing and controlling illnesses.
MBB-M-BA-e-1314 7
3.3 Improper Use
Do not use these scales for dynamic weighing processes. Do not leave permanent load on the balance. This may damage the measuring system.
-­Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the weighing pan, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. This could cause damage to the balance. Never operate balance in explosive environment. The serial version is not explosion protected. It should be noted that a flammable mixture of anesthetics and oxygen or laughing gas may occur. The structure of the balance may not be modified. This may lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the balance. The balance may only be used according to the described conditions. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.
3.4 Warranty
Warranty claims shall be voided in case
Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored The appliance is used outside the described uses The appliance is modified or opened mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids, Natural wear and tear The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected The measuring system is overloaded Dropping the balance
3.5 Monitoring of Test Resources
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related weighing properties of the balances and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. The responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test. Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. In KERN’s accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
For balances with height measuring rods, we recommend a metrological examination of the accuracy of the height measuring rod, however, this is not mandatory as the determination of human body height involves rather large, intrinsic inaccuracies.
8 MBB-M-BA-e-1314
4 Basic Safety Precautions
4.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
4.2 Personnel training
The medical staff must apply and follow the operating instructions for proper use and care of the product.
4.3 Preventing contamination
To prevent cross-contamination (fungal skin infections, …), clean the seating surface or weighing platform every time. Recommendation: after a weighing procedure that could potentially result in contamination (e. g. after weighing that involves direct skin contact).

9 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
9.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use. You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.
On the installation site observe the following:
Place scales on a stable, even surface
Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing next to
a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
Avoid jarring during weighing;
Protect the balance against high humidity, vapors and dust;
Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time. Non-
permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance) may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment. In this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at room temperature.
Avoid static charge of the balance and of the person to be weighed.
Avoid contact with water.
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced should electromagnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment), static electricity accumulations or instable power supply occur. In that case, the location must be changed.
9.2 Unpacking
Remove the individual components of the balance or the complete balance from the packaging with care and install at the intended location. When using the power pack, ensure that the power cable does not produce a risk of stumbling.

Power is supplied by the external power unit which also serves to isolate the mains supply from the scale. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only approved genuine KERN power supply units may be used in compliance with Directive EN 60601-1.
In order to obtain exact results with the electronic balances, your balance must have reached the operating temperature (see warming up time chap. 1). During this warming up time the balance must be connected to the power supply (mains, accumulator or battery) and be switched on.
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity. The value of gravity acceleration is shown on the type plate.
