5 Basic Information (General)

This height measuring rod according to guideline 93/42/EWG is

provided for determination the body height in medical practice

and for medical survey, examination and treatment.

Defined

purpose

Indication:

Determining the body height in the medical practice area.

For a baby resting on his/her back, attach the measuring rod in

such a way on head and feet that you can read the body

height on the scale.

Contraindication:

No contraindication known.

Proper use

This height measuring rod is designed for measuring the height of

a baby resting on his/her back, in medical treatment rooms. This

height measuring rod is suitable to detect, prevent and survey

diseases.

Ensure that the height measuring rod may only come into contact

only with uninjured skin.

Improper Use

The structure of the height measuring rod may not be modified.

This may result in incorrect measuring results, safety-related

defects as well as destruction.

The height measuring rod may only be used according to the

described conditions. Other areas of use must be released by

KERN in writing.

Warranty

Warranty claims shall be voided in case

Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored

The appliance is used outside the described uses

The appliance is modified or opened

Mechanical damage or damage by media, liquids, natural

wear and tear.

Non correct implantation or assembly.

Test device

control

For height measuring rods, we recommend a metrological

examination of the accuracy of the measuring rod, however,

this is not mandatory as the determination of human body

height involves rather large, intrinsic inaccuracies.
