Device description • 5
Analysis Bioimpedance measurements are analyzed in graphical form based on scien-
tifically-established formulas. In-house studies by seca established formulas
for determining the parameters of total body water (TBW), extracellular water
(ECW), fat-free mass (FFM) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) for arms, legs,
torso and whole body. In the same studies, in-house reference values were
determined for the the following parameters in order to be able to show nor-
mal ranges: bioelectric impedance vector analysis (BIVA), mass indices (FMI,
FFMI), phase angle (φ). Further information is available in the section entitled
“Medical basis” from page 45.
Management of user data Access data for users of the device are managed in the seca 115 PC software
supplied. In the course of the creation of user accounts for the
seca 115, a
user PIN is automatically generated for the
seca 515/514.
The device can only be configured with administrator rights. An initial adminis-
trator PIN for the device is provided. It can only be changed on the device.
The creation and management of user data is thus only necessary if the seca
patient database of the
seca 115 PC software is to be accessed using the
device.
Data transmission and network
functions
The device is networkable. The network connection allows the device to use
both the seca patient database and the special print function of the seca 115
PC software.
The special print function of the
seca 115 PC software makes it possible to
start printing out a detailed results report directly on the Medical Body Com-
position Analyzer
seca 515/514.
Alternatively to the Ethernet link, seca mBCAs and the
seca 115 PC software
can communicate wirelessly via seca 360° technology. For this purpose, the
seca 360° wireless USB adapter 456 (included in the scope of delivery) must
be connected to a PC on which at least the application software of the
seca 115 is installed.
seca 360° length measuring devices can wirelessly transmit measured results
to the device.
The device has the following interfaces:
• on the weighing platform
– network connection (Ethernet)
• on the touchscreen display
– internal seca wireless module
– USB interface for connecting a USB memory stick (contained in the
scope of delivery)
Compatibility This device (software version 1.1) is compatible only with version 1.4 of the
seca 115 PC software. The is no downward compatibility with older versions
of the seca 115. For a summary of technical modifications, see the section
entitled “Technical modifications” on page 74.
