1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
1.1 Intended use
The seca 286 measuring station is used in accordance with national regula-
tions primarily in hospitals, medical practices, in-patient care facilities and in
so-called "self-screening", in which patients perform measurements them-
selves.
The
seca 286 measuring station is for conventional determination of weight
and height and for determining the general state of nutrition; it supports the
attending physician in making a diagnosis or deciding on a course of treat-
ment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, the physician needs to commission
other specific examinations and take their results into account, in addition to
determining weight and height.
1.2 Description of function
The seca 286 measuring station measures height using ultrasound. Weight is
recorded using four load cells. The device guides the patient through the
measuring process with configurable voice output. A poster and a label
explaining the correct measuring operation are also enclosed.
Height is transmitted to the multifunctional display. This allows body mass
index (BMI) and body fat rate (BFR) to be calculated automatically.
Measured results can be transmitted wirelessly to a seca wireless printer or to
a PC equipped with a seca USB wireless adapter and compatible seca PC
software via the
seca 360° wireless network.
Use the measuring station only for the purpose mentioned in the section enti-
tled "Intended use".
1.3 User qualification
Administration/network operation The device may only be set up and incorporated in a network by experienced
administrators or hospital technicians.
Measuring mode The device may only be operated by healthcare professionals.
