Handling device
► Please take note of the information in these instructions for use.
► Keep the instructions for use in a safe place. The instructions for use are a
component of the device and must be available at all times.
► In the interest of patient safety, you and your patients are obliged to report
serious events that occur in connection with this product to the manufacturer
and to the authority responsible in your country.
DANGER!
Risk of explosion
► Do not use the device in an environment in which one of the follow-
ing gases has accumulated:
– oxygen
– flammable anesthetics
– other flammable substances/air mixtures
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
► Additional devices connected to medical electrical devices must
provide evidence of compliance with the relevant IEC or ISO stan-
dards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-processing devices). Furthermore,
all configurations must comply with the requirements of standards
for medical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or Section 16 of edition
3.1 of IEC 60601-1 respectively). Anyone connecting additional de-
vices to medical electrical devices is considered a system configu-
rator and therefore responsible for ensuring that the system com-
plies with the requirements of standards for systems. This also ap-
plies to additional devices recommended by seca. Your attention is
drawn to the fact that local laws take precedence over the above-
mentioned requirements of standards. In the event of any queries,
please contact your local specialist dealer or Technical Service.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
► Have servicing carried out regularly as described in the relevant
section of this document.
► Technical modifications may not be made to the device. The device
does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Only have servicing
and repairs performed by an authorized seca service partner. You
can find a service partner in your vicinity at www.seca.com or by
emailing service@seca.com.
► Use only seca original accessories and spare parts, otherwise seca
will not grant any warranty.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, malfunction
► Keep other medical electrical devices, e.g. high-frequency surgical
devices, a minimum distance of approx. 1 meter away to prevent
faulty measurements or wireless transmission interference.
► Keep HF devices such as cellphones at a minimum distance of ap-
prox. 1 meter to prevent faulty measurements or wireless transmis-
sion interference.
► The actual transmission output of HF devices may require minimum
distances of more than 1 meter. For details, go to www.seca.com.
