Keep other electrical medical devices, e.g.
high-frequency surgical devices, a minimum
distance of approx. 1 meter away to prevent
incorrect measurements or wireless
transmission interference.
Keep HF devices such as cell phones a
minimum distance of approx. 1 meter away
to prevent incorrect measurements or
wireless transmission interference.
The actual transmission output of HF
equipment may require minimum distances
of more than 1 meter. Details can be found at
www.seca.com.
Set up the device so that the power supply
socket is easy to reach and the device can be
disconnected from the power supply quickly.
Ensure that your local power supply matches
the information on the power supply unit.
Do not touch the power supply unit with wet
hands.
Do not use extension cables or power strips.
Make sure that cables are not pinched or
damaged by sharp edges.
Make sure that cables do not come into con-
tact with hot objects.
Do not operate the device at an altitude of
more than 3000 m above sea level.
Before and after every measurement, wash
your hands to reduce the risk of cross-con-
tamination and nosocomial infections.
Hygienically reprocess the scale regularly as
described in the respective section in this
document.
Make sure that the patient has no infectious
diseases.
