With the Medical Body Composition Analyzer
purchased a highly precise and simultaneously robust device.
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.
The Medical Body Composition Analyzer
pitals, medical practices and inpatient care facilities in accordance with
national regulations. The
electric impedance measurements and derivable parameters, e.g. fat-free
mass (FFM), for automatic calculation. The results are displayed graphically
and assist the attending physician with the following medical issues:
• determining energy expenditure and energy reserves as a basis for
nutritional advice
• assessing metabolic activity and the success of a training program, e.g.
within the framework of rehabilitation or physiotherapy
• determining a patient's fluids status
• determining general state of health or, in the case of a previously-known
disease, assessing severity

The device uses an electronic scale. Weight is recorded across 4 load cells.
Height is recorded via manual entry or via wireless transmission from a
length measuring device.

Bioimpedance is measured according to the 8-point method. The flow of the
low alternating current and the measurement of impedance are performed for
each side of the body using a pair of foot electrodes and three pairs of hand
electrodes. The hand electrodes are attached at different heights so that per-
sons with a height of between 1.60 m and 2.0 m can adopt the ideal position
on the device for a bioimpedance measurement.
seca patient files can be created directly on the device to manage measured
results. The seca patient files are stored in the patient database of the
PC software supplied. Alternatively, seca patient files can
