CAUTION: To prevent injury, never leave the person being weighed unattended
while on the scale. To prevent injury, do not transport the scale while a
patient is on the scale. Make sure no load is on the scale before transporting
the scale. Do not drop the scale or subject it to violent shocks. The scales
are for determining weight of persons in rooms intended for carrying out
medical care. The scales are NOT intended to diagnose, prevent and monitor
diseases. The scales are equipped with serial interface that can connect to
the equipment compliant with EN60601-1 standard.
Do not use scale for dynamic weighing. Do not leave a permanent load on the
weighing plate. This can damage the scale. Be careful to avoid shock and
overloading the scale in excess of the prescribed maximum load rating (MAX)
minus any tare weight that is already present. Never operate the scale in a
hazardous location. The scale design is not explosion-proof. Flammable mixture
can form from anesthetic means containing oxygen or nitrous oxide (laughing
gas).
IMPORTANT: For accurate weighing, the scale must be placed on a flat, stable
