WARNING!
Hazard to patient, malfunction, damage to device
► Set up the device so that it cannot fall on patients.
► Route the cables and tubes of the measurement accessory so that
the patient cannot become entangled or be strangled.
► The device has no alarm function. Never leave the patient unob-
served during a measurement.
► Always connect only one individual patient to the device for each

Introduction The Vital signs measurement function is available after the device is switched
on. You can perform measurements without login and without patient
identification.
If you want to assign the measurement procedure to a patient file, we recom-
mend calling up ➔ Calling up a seca patient file or creating ➔ Creating a
seca patient file a patient file before the measurement. This applies in
particular when repeat measurements for a patient are likely.
You can measure one or more vital signs in one measurement procedure.
Measurement starts automatically after the measuring accessories have been
attached to the patient (exception: blood pressure measurement and in-ear
temperature measurement). Depending on device configuration, pulse rate is
determined using either oxygen saturation or blood pressure.
Weight and height can be recorded by compatible seca measuring devices or
entered manually: ➔ Adding weight and height.
