8.4 References
The following references constitute the scientific basis for bioelectric
impedance analysis using the Medical Body Composition Analyzer
seca 515/514 . These references are stored in the device software and form
the basis for the assessment of the state of health of your patient.
The references used by the device depend on the country in which you are
active. For some evaluation modules (e.g. waist circumference for
children), the reference used also depends on the patient's ethnicity.
As part of the device configuration, your administrator will enter your
country as the setup location. The usual references for your country will be
loaded automatically. The device automatically uses ethnicity-dependent
references to suit the corresponding entry in the patient data (see
“Creating new patients” on page 39).
