2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Congratulations!
With the seca 676 electronic platform scale, you have
purchased a highly precise and simultaneously robust
device.
For over 170 years, seca has used its experience in the
service of healthcare and, as a market leader, it has
always set standards in many countries of the world
with innovative developments in weighing and measur-
ing.
2.2 Intended use
Electronic platform scale seca 676 is mainly used in
hospitals, medical practices and in-patient care facili-
ties 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.
2.3 Description of function
On some variants of this scale, the weight display can
be switched between kilograms (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a few
seconds.
In addition to conventional determination of weight, the
seca 676 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 676 wirelessly.
