4 Basic Information (General)

Weighing instruments have to be verified for the purposes stated below in accordance with Directive 2009/23/EC. 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.” 4.1

Specific function Indication • Determining the body weight in the medical practice area. • Use as „non-standalone weighing scale“, that is, a person sits carefully onto the seating surface’s centre. Once a steady display value is shown, you can read the weight value.

Contraindication •

No contraindication known

4.2 Proper use These scales are used to determine weight of people sitting at rest in medical treatment rooms. The scales are suitable for recognising, preventing and controlling illnesses. The person should be weighed carefully and have contact with the center of the seat, sit and stay calm. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read. The scales are designed for long-term usage.

The instruments shall only be used by people who can sit still.

The balances should be checked for correct condition prior to each utilisation by a person familiar with proper operation of the balance.

MCC-M-BA-e-1730

• • •

As long as the patient is sitting on the chair scales, the wheel brakes must be locked without fail. Do not step onto the foot rests when stepping or leaving the chair scales! The chair scales may not be used for the transport of people!

4.3 Improper Use Do not use these scales for dynamic weighing processes. No permanent load on the seat area. This may damage the measuring system. Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the seating surface, 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 anaesthetics and oxygen or laughing gas may occur. Do not modify the construction of the scales. This may lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the balances. The balances may only be used according to the described conditions. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing. 4.4

Warranty

Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored

•

The appliance is used outside the described uses

•

Modification or opening of appliances

•

Mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids,

•

MCC-M-BA-e-1730

4.5 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.

5 Basic Safety Precautions 5.1

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.

5.2

Personnel training

The medical staff must apply and follow the operating instructions for proper use and care of the product.

5.3 Preventing contamination The prevention of cross-contamination (fungal skin infections,……) requires regular cleaning of the seating surface. Recommendation: after a weighing procedure that could potentially result in contamination (e. g. after weighing that involves direct skin contact).

6 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 6.1

General hints The installation and use of this electrical medical device requires special precautionary measures as outlined in the EMC information below.

This device complies with the limits set for medical electrical devices of group 1, class B (as per EN 60601-1-2). Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes a device’s ability to perform reliably within an electromagnetic environment without causing inadmissible electromagnetic interference at the same time. Amongst other things, such disturbances may be emitted by connecting cables or the air. Inadmissible disturbances from the environment may result in incorrect displays, inaccurate measured values or incorrect behaviour of the medical device. By the same token the medical device may in some cases cause such disturbances in other devices. To eliminate problems of that kind, we recommend you to take one or several of the measures listed below: • • • •

Change the alignment or distance of the device to the source of EMI. Install or use the chair scale MCC 250K100M at a different location. Connect the chair scale MCC 250K100M to a different power source. For further questions please contact our customer services.

Disturbances may be caused by improper modification or add-ons to the device or not recommended accessories (such as power units or connecting cables). The manufacturer will not be responsible for these. Modifications may also result in a loss of authorisation relating to the use of the device. Devices emitting high frequency signals (mobile telephones, radio transmitters, radio receivers) may cause interference in the medical device. For that reason do not use them near the medical device. Chapter 6.4 contains details about recommended minimum distances.

for 80 MHz to 800 MHz

for 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz Use P as rated capacity of radio transmitter in Watt (W) as per details given by the radio transmitter manufacturer and d as recommended safety distance in metres (m). The field intensity of stationary radio transmitters should for all frequencies be a lower according to an in situ b examination than the conformity level. Interference may occur near devices bearing the symbol below. NOTE 1 NOTE 2

Higher frequency range applies to 80 MHz and 800 MHz. These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The spread of electromagnetic variables is influenced by absorption and reflections in buildings, objects and humans.

a

The field intensity of stationary radio transmitters such as base stations of wireless telephones and mobile radio sets, amateur radio stations, AM and FM radio and television stations cannot be reliably predicted in advance. To determine the electromagnetic environment in respect of stationary transmitters, you should consider a study of electromagnetic phenomena at the location. If the measured field intensity at the location where the chair scale MCC 250K100M is to be used exceeds the conformity level above, you should observe the chair scale MCC 250K100M in order to ensure normal operation. If you observe unusual features of performance you may have to take additional measures such as a change in alignment or a different location for the chair scale MCC 250K100M.

b

For a frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz field intensity should be less than 3 V/m.

6.3.1 Crucial features of performance The chair scale MCC 250K100M does not have any crucial features of performance as per IEC 60601-1. The system may be subject to interference by other devices even if these devices conform to current emission requirements as per CISPR. 6.4

Minimum distances

Recommended safety distances between portable and mobile HF telecommunication devices and the medical device The chair scale MCC 250K100M is designed for use in an electromagnetic environment in which HF disturbance variables are controlled. The customer or user of the medical electrical device can help avoiding electromagnetic disturbances by keeping the minimum distance between portable and mobile HF telecommunication devices (transmitters) and the chair scale MCC 250K100M – depending on the output performance of the communication device, as stated below.
