2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Congratulations!
With the seca 635 electronic multi-functional 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 multi-functional scale seca 635 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.
2.3 Description of function
In addition to conventional determination of weight, the
seca 635 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 635 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.
Use the scale only for the purpose named in the
section entitled "Intended use" on page 56.
