studies are stored as references in the device software and form the basis for
assessing the state of health of your patients.
The references used by the device depend on the country in which you are
operating. 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.
For some evaluation parameters (e.g. waist circumference for children), the
reference used also depends on the patient's ethnicity. The device automati-
cally uses ethnicity-dependent references to suit the corresponding entry in
the seca patient file (see "Creating a new seca patient file" on page 40).
The evaluation module in question indicates which clinical study is being used
as a reference for determining and assessing an evaluation parameter, e. g.
"Peine et al. 2013".
Details about the referenced clinical trials can be found on our website
