2. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE 2.1 Congratulations! With the seca 959 electronic scale, you have just purchased a highly precise and simultaneously robust weighing instrument. seca has put its experience at the service of health care for over 170 years and as a market leader in many countries, is constantly setting new standards with its innovative developments for weighing and measurement.

2.2 Intended use The seca 959 electronic scale is mainly used at hospitals, medical practices and inpatient care facilities 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 diagnosis or deciding on a course of treatment. To make an accurate diagnosis, however, other specific examinations have to be ordered by the physician and their results taken into account in addition to determining a weight value. Besides conventional weight measurement the seca 959 also features a function to calculate the body mass index. The keypad is used to enter the height, and this is followed by automatic calculation of the body mass index from the weighing value. Height measuring instruments from the seca 360° wireless system can transmit the body size wirelessly to the seca 959. Via the wireless network, seca 360° wireless measuring instruments can be connected wirelessly to a seca wireless printer or to a PC equipped with seca analytics PC software and the secaUSB wireless adapter. The seca 959 is provided with rollers to allow it to be moved about and thanks to its low power consumption, it will offer hours of battery operation for mobile applications. Description of device • 51

The seca 959 is not intended for the transport of people or objects. Use the scale only for the purpose named in this section.

3. SAFETY INFORMATION 3.1 Basic safety precautions Handling the instrument

• Please take note of the information in this user manual. • Keep the user manual with the declaration of conformity in a safe place. • Make sure that the scales are positioned securely on a flat and stable surface. • Make sure before each use that the wheel brakes are working. • Secure the scale against unintentional rolling away. Set the wheel brakes. • Do not transport any people or objects with the scale. • Move the scale only with released wheel brakes. • Make sure you do not drop the scales. Protect the scales from violent impacts. • If you operate the scale with a battery power pack, make sure that when you route the power cable, no one can trip over it. • If you operate the scale with a battery power pack, make sure that when you route the power cable, it cannot be crushed or come into contact with hot objects. • Have the scales serviced regularly (see "Maintenance/Recalibration" on page 85). • Make sure that maintenance and repair are only carried out by an authorised service partner. You can find your local service partner at www.seca.com or just send an e-mail to service@seca.com. • Make sure you only use genuine seca accessories and spare parts. Otherwise the warranty provided by seca will become null and void.

52 •

English • Make sure RF equipment such as mobile phones is kept at a minimum distance of approx. 1 metre to prevent incorrect measurements or interference with radio transmission.

Use of measured results

• Before you save and re-use values measured with the seca 959 (e.g. in the seca analytics 105 PC software or in a hospital information system), make sure that the measured values are plausible and that they correspond to the display on the measuring instrument.

Fastening the weighing cell cable

ATTENTION! Malfunction due to assembly error

If the cables are assembled so that they are under voltage, e.g. if they are bent sharply or plugs are snapped off, this can cause faulty displays and failure of the display. – Lay all cables so that they are not too sharply bent and so that plugs are not snapped off. – Ensure that there is strain relief by laying all cables in the appropriate harnesses. 
