1.3 Functional description
seca connect 103 The secaconnect 103 software is installed on a server. Using the browser-
based user interface of the software, seca measuring devices can be con-
nected with the
secaconnect 103 software and can be configured and a
connection to an EMR system can be set up.
seca measuring devices with
seca
452 interface module
The seca 452 interface module is connected, by a cable, to seca measuring
devices which do not have their own network interface. The
seca 452 inter-
face module transmits the data between the seca measuring device and the
secaconnect 103 software. For each seca measuring device, a separate
seca 452 interface module is required.
The data transmission between the
seca 452 interface module and
secaconnect 103 takes place via WiFi or Ethernet. Scanners can be con-
nected to the USB interface of the
seca 452 interface module.
The operating state and the measurement procedure are indicated using
optical signals.
seca measuring devices with an
internal interface module
seca measuring devices with an internal interface module (for example,
seca 336 i) can transfer data directly to the secaconnect 103 software. No
seca 452 interface module is required. Scanners can be connected directly to
seca measuring devices with an internal interface module.
Connecting to EMR systems To connect to EMR systems, integration modules are configured and acti-
vated in the
secaconnect 103 software. Modifications directly to the respec-
tive EMR system may be necessary. To ensure a reliable connection, we
recommend having the connection implemented exclusively with support of
the manufacturer of your EMR system.
Data storage No patient or device data is stored in the secaconnect 103 software. Only the
login credentials for the
secaconnect 103 are saved in the software database.
Device data is saved on the seca measuring device (devices with internal
interface module) or on the connected
seca 452 interface module.
Patient data and measurement results are transmitted to the connected EMR
system and saved there.
Compatibility The system is exclusively compatible with seca measuring devices (seca
scales and length measuring devices) ➔ Compatible seca measuring
devices. seca mbca and seca mvsa cannot be connected.
Measuring devices from third-party manufacturers cannot be connected.
Currently, only EMR systems from Cerner that have a VitalsLink interface are
supported. Integration modules for connection to other EMR systems are in
development and will be provided in later software versions.
