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 ini-
tiate therapeutic measures, besides determi-
nation of the weight, further targeted
examinations must be set up by the physi-
cian, 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 deter-
mined using this device and use them further
(e.g. in seca PC software or in a hospital infor-
mation system), make sure that the measure-
ment 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

the risk of suffocation. Use recyclable materi-
als if possible.
NOTE
Keep the original packing material for future use
(e.g. returning for servicing).
