English 1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1 Intended use
The seca 101 PC software is mainly used at hospitals,
medical practices and inpatient care facilities in accor-
dance with national regulations.
The seca 101 PC software is for managing weight and
height measurements and for automatically calculating
parameters which can be deduced from them, for
example body mass index (BMI).
Measured results can be transmitted to a patient data
management system or printed out on a standard PC
printer.
The results support the attending physician with the fol-
lowing medical issues:
• monitoring of growth processes and weight changes
• determining energy expenditure and energy reserves
The seca 101 PC software is not diagnostic software.
1.2 Description of function
Transmission of data by
seca scales and
stadiometers
seca scales and stadiometers from the
seca 360° wireless system enable wireless transmis-
sion of data to the seca 101 PC software. The PC soft-
ware must be installed on a PC for this purpose. The
seca 360° wireless USB adapter 456 must be con-
nected to the same PC.
seca scales with an RS232 interface can transmit data
to the
seca 101 PC software via the COM ports of the
PC.
Printing The seca 101 PC software is supplied with a print
module pre-installed. This module enables the
seca 101 PC software to compile detailed results
reports and send them to a local or a network printer.
Printing of the results reports is started directly from the
connected
seca 360° wireless devices.
The print function is not available for scales with an
RS232 interface.
