2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Congratulations!
With the seca 677 electronic platform 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 platform scale seca 677 is mainly used in
hospitals, medical practices and in-patient care facili-
ties 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 677 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 677 wirelessly.
Via the seca 360° wireless wireless network, measur-
ing results can be transmitted wirelessly to a seca wire-
less printer or to a PC equipped with
seca analytics
PC software and the seca USB wireless adapter.
The seca 677 can be moved on casters.
Use the scale only for the purpose named in the
section entitled "Intended use" on page 53.
