- Safety:
- Before using the new measuring rod, please take a little time to read the saftey instructions - Follow the operating instructions - Never leave the baby lying unsupervised with the measuring rod, otherwise there is a risk of injury - Only measure length on surfaces from which the baby cannot fall - Ensure that the measuring rod and scale are cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent infectious diseases being transmitted - A second person is ideally required to enable length to be measured exactly
- Measurement process:
- Place the baby on a flat surface - Position the measuring rod with the measuring slide at the baby’s head - Using your right hand, slide the measuring slide in the direction of the baby’s feet - The left hand holds the baby steady - Stretch the baby’s legs, using the left hand to push the baby’s knees carefully and gently down onto the surface - Use your right hand to place the measuring slide at right angles to the soles of the baby’s feet
- Attaching the measuring tongue extension:
- There is provision for enlarging the head support surface - Press the measuring tongue extension onto the measuring tongue from above so that it locks audibly in position - The extension can then be moved on the measuring tongue with little effort
- Cleaning:
- Clean the measuring rod as required using a domestic cleaning agent or commercially-available disinfectant - Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
