9.3 Bioimpedance measurement
One or more "Electrode
contact" LEDs is red
Electrode cables not connected to
electrodes
Ensure that all electrode cables are
engaged in the push-buttons of the
electrodes
Electrodes faulty Replace electrodes
Electrode cables or measuring mat
faulty
Replace measuring mat
One or more LEDs on the
measuring mat not on
Measuring mat faulty Replace measuring mat
seca patient files cannot
be transmitted to the
measuring mat
No WiFi connection
• Suspend the measuring mat in the stor-
age compartment of the device
• Call up seca patient file again, data will be
transmitted via the infrared interface
Infrared interface faulty Inform seca service
No WiFi connection
WiFi function of device is deactivated
Administrator:
activate WiFi
Distance between measuring mat and
monitor is too big
• Reduce distance
• Perform offline measurement
Distance between monitor and WiFi
router is too big
• Reduce distance
• Transmit measured results to
seca 115 PC
software via LAN
WiFi not available in your institution
• Perform offline measurement
• Transmit measured results to seca 115 PC
software via LAN
Problem Cause Remedy
Problem Cause Remedy
Results of bioimpedance
measurement deviate
significantly from expected
results
Patient position set on device does not
match actual patient position
Ensure that the patient position set on the
device and the actual position match
Patient moved during the
measurement
Request the patient not to move during the
measurement and repeat the
measurement
Electrode cables incorrectly assigned
Ensure that the electrode cables are
connected to the correct electrodes to suit
patient position
Electrodes faulty Replace electrodes
Electrode cables or measuring mat
faulty
Replace measuring mat
Incorrect seca patient file called up
Transmit measurement to
seca 115 and
assign to the correct seca patient file there
Some evaluation modules
are not shown in the
"evaluation" tab
List of evaluation modules which can
be displayed has been restricted by
administrator
Administrator: modify the evaluation
modules which can be displayed
Value of an evaluation
parameter is shown in red
Value outside the normal range
determined for the evaluation
parameter
• Repeat the measurement to rule out mea-
surement errors
• If the value remains outside the normal
range on a repeat measurement, take the
value into account as the examination
continues
