the ME equipment according to the local guidelines.
Warning Patient injury risk. The device is not suitable for use in the
presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
Warning Patient injury risk. No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Modifying the equipment could cause patient injury.
Warning Patient injury risk. Do not touch output of the batteries and the
patient simultaneously.
Warning Patient injury risk. Before use, make sure the device functions
safely and is in proper working condition.
Warning Patient injury risk. When the scale is in use, there should not be
any electrical appliances nearby, such as high voltage cables, X-ray
machines, or ultrasound equipment.
Warning Possible injury risk. The device contains small parts. Keep the
equipment away from children and pets.
CAUTION Avoid storing the device where the device may be exposed to
extreme temperatures, humidity, moisture, direct sunlight, dust, or salt air.

CAUTION Avoid storing the device where there is risk of shock or
dropping.
CAUTION Avoid storing the device where you store chemicals.
CAUTION Avoid storing the device where there are corrosive gases.
CAUTION Avoid storing the device near infants or children.
CAUTION The device does not need to be calibrated in two years of
reliable service.
CAUTION Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself in the event of
malfunctions. Only have repairs carried out by authorized service centers.
CAUTION Manufacturer will make available on request circuit diagrams,
component parts lists, and the like.
CAUTION Wireless communications equipment, such as wireless home
network devices, mobile phones, cordless telephones and their base
stations, walkietalkies can affect this equipment and should be kept at least
a distance d=3,3m away from the equipment. Note: As indicated in Table 6
of IEC 60601-1-2:2007 for ME Equipment, a typical cell phone with a
maximum output power of 2 W yields d=3,3m at an IMMUNITY LEVEL of
3V/m).
CAUTION Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Ensure accurate measurements
To ensure the accuracy of measurements, follow the recommendations below when you
start a measurement.
• Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. If you put the scale on carpet, fit the
extension feet before taking the measurement. Placing the scale sensors directly on
carpet may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
• Always start a measurement at the same time on the same scale located on the
same flat surface.
