Connecting the measuring mat The seca 525 is provided for bioimpedance measurement by the 8-point
method (measuring the whole body) with the patient in a lying position. Mea-
surement by the 4-point method (right half of the body) is likewise possible.
To do this, use the electrode cables directly at the keypad of the measuring
mat.
For the measurement, electrodes are attached to the patient's extremities
and connected to the measuring mat.
Observe the points below in order to obtain meaningful and comparable mea-
surements.
• Amount of time patient should lie before each measurement:
approx. 10 minutes
• If possible, arrange follow-up measurements at the same time of day
1. Affix the electrodes to the patient's extremities.
2. Lay the measuring mat on the patient's knees.
► The side with the writing on it should be facing upwards
► The control unit should be facing the user
3. Connect the measuring mat to the electrodes.
► Arrange the electrode cables so that they do not cross over one an-
other
► Put the push-button adapter on the electrodes (black: wrist/ankle,
red: fingers/toes)
4. Ask the patient to lie still.
