1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

1.1 Intended use

The mechanical seca flat dial scale is mainly used in hospitals, medical practices and inpatient 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 diagnosis or deciding on a course of treatment.

To make an accurate diagnosis, however, other specific examinations have to be ordered by the physician and their results taken into account, in addition to determining a weight value.

1.2 Functional description

With a mechanical dial scale weight is calculated via a load lever system.

Before weighing takes place, the zero point can be manually reset each time with the adjusting wheel.

Calibrated scales are supplied with a kg scale.

Uncalibrated scales are supplied with a kg, lbs, kg/lbs or a kg/sts scale depending on the model.

1.3 User qualification

The device may only be operated by healthcare professionals.

Handling the measurement results

WARNING!

Patient hazard

This device is no diagnostic device. It simply assists the treating physician in establishing a diagnosis.

In order to make a precise diagnosis and initiate therapeutic measures, besides determination of the weight, further targeted examinations must be set up by the physician, and their results must be considered.
The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment lies with the treating physician.

CAUTION!

Patient hazard

In order to avoid misinterpretations, test results for medical use must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilograms, length: metres) only.

▶ Use the results exclusively in SI units.
The use of measurement results in non-SI units is the sole responsibility of the user.
▶ If your scale is unable to display SI units, you can use the conversion tool in this document.

NOTICE!

Inconsistent measuring results

▶ Before you save measurement values determined using this device and use them further (e.g. in seca PC software or in a hospital information system), make sure that the measurement values are plausible.
▶ If measurement values are transmitted to seca PC software or a hospital information system, make sure prior to further use that the measurement values are plausible and are assigned to the correct patient.

Handling the packaging material

WARNING!

Risk of suffocation

Packaging material made of plastic foil (bags) is a choking hazard.

▶ Keep packaging material out of reach of children.
In the event that the original packing material may not be available anymore, only use plastic bags with security holes in order to reduce the risk of suffocation. Use recyclable materials if possible.
