1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
1.1 Intended use
The seca 525 medical Body Composition Analyzer is mainly used in hospitals,
medical practices and inpatient care facilities in accordance with national reg-
ulations. The medical Body Composition Analyzer seca 525 records weight,
height and bioelectric impedance measurements and automatically calculates
parameters such as fat-free mass (FFM) which can be derived from them. The
results are displayed in graphical form and assist the attending physician with
the following medical issues:
• determining energy expenditure and energy reserves as a basis for
nutritional advice
• assessing metabolic activity and the success of a training program,
e.g. within the framework of rehabilitation or physiotherapy
• determining a patient's fluids status
The
seca 525 is not a diagnostic device. To make an accurate diagnosis, the
physician needs to commission specific examinations and take their results
into account in addition to the results of the
seca 525.
The device is not intended for use on children.
For North America: the device is intended for use on healthy individuals from
18 years of age upwards.
