1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
1.1 Intended use
Electronic multi-functional scale seca 665 is mainly
used in hospitals, medical practices and in-patient care
facilities in accordance with national regulations.
The scale is for conventional determination of weight
and establishment of general state of nutrition; it assists
the physician supervising treatment in making a diag-
nosis or deciding on a course of treatment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, other spe-
cific examinations have to be ordered by the physician
and their results taken into account, in addition to
determining a weight value.
1.2 Description of function
In addition to conventional determination of weight, the
seca 665 provides a function for determining body
mass index. To this end, height is entered on the key-
pad and the body mass index associated with the
weight value is calculated automatically. Length meas-
uring devices from the
seca 360° wireless system can
transmit height to the seca 665 wirelessly.
Via the
seca 360° wireless network, measuring results
can be transmitted wirelessly to a seca wireless printer
or to a PC equipped with
seca analytics PC software
and the seca USB wireless adapter.
The
seca 665 can be moved on casters.
Use the scale only for the purpose named in the
section entitled "Intended use" on page 55.
1.3 User qualification
Assembly Devices that are shipped partially assembled may only
be mounted by sufficiently qualified persons such as
specialist dealers, hospital technicians or seca service
technicians.
