Problem Cause Remedy
The tab bia has been activated,
but no module selection
appears
Module selection has been
deactivated.
Check setting and change if necessary
(see “Adapting standard module selection
for BIA” on page 61)
Not all modules are activated in
the module selection
A standard module selection has been
specified, whereby some modules
have been deactivated.
• Activate missing modules in the module
selection directly and perform the
measurement
• Adapt standard module selection (see
“Creating standard module selection” on
page 62)

No PAL value can be entered
after a BIA The evaluation module Energy has
been deactivated.
• If the evaluation module Energy is not
required, continue and finish the
measurement
• If the evaluation module Energy is
required, activate the evaluation module
(see “Checking the module selection” on
page 31) or (see “Creating standard
module selection” on page 62)
The BIA results differ from the
expected results
The patient moved during the
measurement.
Request that the patient does not move
during the measurement and repeat the
measurement
The patient has used different pairs of
hand electrodes on the left and right.
Ensure that the patient uses the same
hand electrodes on both sides and repeat
the measurement
Electrodes faulty Inform seca service
The value of an evaluation
module is displayed red in the
tab evaluation The value falls outside of the normal
range calculated for the evaluation
module.
• Repeat the measurement in order to
exclude measurement errors
• If the repeat measurement also
produces a value outside of the normal
range, take the value into account in
further investigations
The assigned patient is no
longer displayed in tab
patient
after temporarily calling
another tab
The patient has been selected, but the
selection is not confirmed.
Re-assign the patient and press the
confirm button (see “Assigning patient” on
page 35), only then can another tab be
selected
