2. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE
2.1 Intended use of the scale
The seca scale is mainly used in hospitals, medical practices, outpatient and
inpatient health care facilities, and in medically oriented fitness facilities in
accordance with national regulations.
The seca scale is used for the conventional determination of weight and
establishment of the general state of nutrition; it assists the physician super-
vising treatment in making a diagnosis or deciding on a course of treatment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, the physician must order other
specific examinations and take their results into account, in addition to
determining a weight value.
2.2 Intended use of compatible seca products
Standing aid seca 455 The seca standing is mainly used in hospitals, medical practices, outpatient
and inpatient health care facilities, and in medically oriented fitness facilities in
accordance with national regulations.
In conjunction with compatible seca products, the standing aid supports
people who are unable to stand independently.
Ultrasonic measuring rod seca 257,
seca 256
The seca measuring rod is mainly used in hospitals, medical practices, outpa-
tient and inpatient health care facilities, and in medically oriented fitness facili-
ties in accordance with national regulations.
The seca measuring rod is used in combination with a compatible seca scale
for the conventional determination of height (body size), and for early detec-
tion of growth disorders; it also assists the physician supervising treatment in
making a diagnosis or deciding on a course of treatment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, the physician must order other
specific examinations and take their results into account, in addition to

2.3 Description of function
Measuring weight/entering height Weight calculation is carried out with four weighing cells. The measuring
results are shown on the multifunctional display. The height is entered
manually.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) or Body Surface Area (BSA) is automatically
calculated from the “Weight” and “Height” parameters.
Measuring weight and height,
ultrasound
With the measuring rod (seca 257, seca 256), height measurement is carried
out using ultrasound. The measuring rod is mounted on a compatible seca
scale. The weight and height of the patient are recorded simultaneously. The
measuring rod guides the patient through the measurement with configurable
voice outputs. The measuring results are transferred to the scale and shown
on the multifunctional display. The Body Mass Index (BMI) or Body Surface
Area (BSA) is automatically calculated from the “Weight” and “Height”
parameters.
Network functions The device can be integrated into a PC network via a LAN interface or via
WiFi. The seca connect 103 is required to set up this integration.
The seca connect 103 software receives measurement data from the device
and forwards them to an EMR System or to the seca analytics 125 software.
