Seca 514 - Bioimpedance Analysis and Measurement Errors

7.3 Bioimpedance analysis
Problem Cause Remedy
bia tab activated, but module
selection does not appear
Module selection deactivated
Check setting and change if necessary
(see “Adapting the default module selec-
tion for bioimpedance analysis” on
page 28)
Not all modules activated in
module selection
Default module selection specified in
which some modules have been
deactivated
• Activate missing modules directly in the
module selection and perform the
measurement
• Adapt default module selection (see
“Creating default module selection” on
page 29)
The following message
appears: “Electrode detection
failed.”
Patient’s skin too dry
Spray the skin at the contact points with
electrode spray
Patient’s skin too calloused
Spray the skin at the contact points with
electrode spray
Electrodes faulty Inform seca service
No PAL value can be entered
following bioimpedance
measurement
Energy
evaluation module deactivated
• If the
Energy evaluation module is not
required, continue and complete
measurement
• If the
Energy evaluation module is
required, activate the evaluation module
(see “Creating default module selection”
on page 29)
No waist circumference can
be entered following
bioimpedance measurement
Health risk
evaluation module
deactivated
• If the
Health risk evaluation module is not
required, continue and complete
measurement
• If the
Health risk evaluation module is
required, activate the evaluation module
(see “Creating default module selection”
on page 29)
Results of bioimpedance mea-
surement deviate significantly
from expected results
Patient moved during the
measurement
Request the patient not to move during the
measurement and repeat the
measurement
Patient used different pairs of hand
electrodes on the left and right
Ensure that the patient uses the same
hand electrodes on both sides and repeat
the measurement
Electrodes faulty Inform seca service
Value of an evaluation
parameter is shown in red
Value outside the normal range deter-
mined for the evaluation parameter
• Repeat the measurement to rule out
measurement errors
• If the repeat measurement also produces
a value outside the normal range, take the
value into account in further investigations
After a different tab has been
called up temporarily, the
assigned
seca patient file is
no longer shown in the patient
tab
seca patient file assigned, but
assignment not confirmed
Assign seca patient file again and press the
confirm button (see Instructions for Use for
Physicians and Assistants); only call up
another tab after that
