1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1 Congratulations!
With the seca 115 seca software you have acquired a
product from the seca 360° wireless system that
assists you with the analysis and interpretation of
weight, height and bioimpedance measurements.
For more than 170 years, seca has used its experience in
the service of health care and, as a market leader, it has
always set standards in many countries of the world with
innovative developments for weighing and measuring.
1.2 Intended use
The seca 115 software is used according to the
national regulations, primarily in hospitals, physicians'
practices, and inpatient care institutions.
The seca 115 software is used to manage weight,
height and bioelectric impedance measurements as
well as for the automatic calculation of parameters
derived from such measurements, e.g. FMI (fat mass
index). Results are displayed graphically and assist the
treating doctor with the following medical aspects:
• Monitoring of growth processes and weight changes
• Determination of the energy expenditure and energy
reserves for the assessment of weight changes, the
course of illnesses and the provision of advice about
diet
• Estimation of the cardiometabolic risk
• Assessment of metabolic activity and the degree of
success for a training programme, e.g. in the
framework of rehabilitation or physiotherapy.
• Determination of the fluids status of a patient and the
observation of changes in fluids as the result of
medical treatment.
• Determination of the patient's general state of health
or, in the case of a known disease, assessment of its
severity.
The seca 115 software is not diagnostic software.
