Analysis of measuring results

The monitor is powered by a connection to the power supply. The monitor
has a lithium-ion rechargeable battery to provide a mobile power supply.
The SmartBucket is supplied with power over a USB connection from the
monitor.
The measuring mat is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The
rechargeable battery is charged by an inductive charging interface.
Bioimpedance measurement is performed with a measuring mat developed
by seca.
Bioimpedance measurement is carried out with the patient lying down, using
the 8-point method. The 4-point method (measuring the right half of the body)
is likewise possible. The low alternating current is provided and impedance is
measured by the electrode cables of the measuring mat. The electrode
cables are connected to two pairs of electrodes for each half of the body. The
electrodes are affixed to the patient's hands and feet.
Blood pressure is measured non-invasively with seca measuring equipment
and seca blood pressure cuffs.
Temperature is measured with COVIDIEN
depending on the device version, as an oral/axillary (blue temperature probe),
rectal (red temperature probe) or in-ear thermometer procedure.
Depending on the device version, oxygen saturation is measured with
®
Masimo SET or with seca measuring equipment and with the corresponding
SpO sensors and patient cables.

Depending on device version, pulse rate is determined using either oxygen
saturation or blood pressure.
The device is intended for discontinuous measurement of vital signs, so it
does not have an alarm function.
Scales and stadiometers from the
measuring results to the device wirelessly. Alternatively, the patient's weight
and height can be recorded manually.
The user accounts for the device can be synchronized automatically with the
user accounts of the
seca analytics 115
both the device and the PC software with the same user account.
seca patient files and seca patient databases contain exclusively data neces-
sary for working with seca products or which were determined using seca
products.
In standalone mode or when connected to the
ware, measuring results are managed in seca patient files. seca patient files
can be set up, edited, exported and deleted directly on the device.
The device can be configured so that the seca patient files of the device are
automatically synchronized with the seca patient files of the
PC software.
seca analytics 115
Depending on the information system in question, patient data from practice
and hospital information systems may be used via the export and import
functions of the
seca analytics 115
software.
