TÜV SÜD Product Service, the appointed office for medical devices, confirms with this certificate that as a medical devices manufacturer, seca consistently complies with the strict legal requirements. seca’s quality assurance system includes the areas of design, development, production, sales and service of medical scales and length measuring systems as well as software and measuring systems for assessing state of health and nutrition. seca helps the environment. Saving natural resources is very important to us. We therefore make every effort to save on packaging materials wherever it makes sense and whatever is left over can be conveniently disposed of on site via the recycling system.

2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Congratulations! With this personal scale, you have just purchased a 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 mechanical seca flat dial scale is mainly used in hospitals, medical practices and inpatient care facilities in accordance with national regulations.

26 •

English 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.

2.3 Functional description With a mechanical dial scale weight is calculated via a load lever system. Before weighing takes place, the zero point can be manually reset each time with the adjusting wheel. Calibrated scales are supplied with a kg scale. Uncalibrated scales are supplied with a kg, lbs, kg/lbs or a kg/sts scale depending on the model.

2.4 User qualification The device may only be operated by healthcare professionals.

Avoiding damage to the device

NOTICE! Damage to device

• Make sure not to drop the device. • Do not expose the device to any impact or vibration. • Perform function controls regularly as described in the relevant section in this document. Do not operate the device if it is damaged or not working properly. • Caustic detergents may damage the surfaces. Only use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapsuds to clean the surfaces of the device. • Only use disinfectants suitable for sensitive surfaces. Suitable disinfectants are available from specialist dealers.

Handling the measurement results

WARNING! Patient hazard

This device is no diagnostic device. It simply assists the treating physician in establishing a diagnosis. – In order to make a precise diagnosis and initiate therapeutic measures, besides determination of the weight, further targeted examinations must be set up by the physician, and their results must be considered. – The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment lies with the treating physician. CAUTION! Patient hazard

In order to avoid misinterpretations, test results for medical use must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilograms, length: metres) only. – Use the results exclusively in SI units. – The use of measurement results in non-SI units is the sole responsibility of the user. – If your scale is unable to display SI units, you can use the conversion tool in this document.

30 •

English NOTICE! Inconsistent measuring results

• Before you save measurement values determined using this device and use them further (e.g. in seca PC software or in a hospital information system), make sure that the measurement values are plausible. • If measurement values are transmitted to seca PC software or a hospital information system, make sure prior to further use that the measurement values are plausible and are assigned to the correct patient.

Handling the packaging material

WARNING! Risk of suffocation

Packaging material made of plastic foil (bags) is a choking hazard. – Keep packaging material out of reach of children. – In the event that the original packing material may not be available anymore, only use plastic bags with security holes in order to reduce the risk of suffocation. NOTE Keep the original packing material for future use (e.g. returning for maintenance service).

5. BEFORE YOU GET STARTED … 5.1 Removing the locking pin Click!

1. Turn the locking pin on the base of the housing a quarter-turn anticlockwise.

2. Take out the locking pin. NOTE Keep the locking pin for transporting the scale at a later date.

5.2 Removing the transport lock 

Remove the transport lock from the lower section of the housing. NOTE: • Put the transport lock in a safe place for subsequent transport of the scale. • You can use the transport lock as a wall spacer (see section “Fitting the wall spacer”).

5.3 Fitting the wall spacer If you wish to position the scale close to a wall, we recommend using the transport lock (see section “Removing the transport lock”) as a wall spacer. This stops the weighing platform from touching the wall and the measured result from being incorrect.

34 •

English 1. Position the transport lock as shown in the adjacent drawing. 2. Attach the transport lock to the lower section of the housing.

5.4 Aligning the scale ATTENTION! Incorrect measurement due to force shunts

Soft floor coverings such as carpets may cause weights to be measured incorrectly. – Set the scale up so that only its feet are in contact with the floor. 

Place the scale on a firm, flat surface.

6. WEIGHING CAUTION! Bodily injury

Perform a function check before every use as described in the section “Function check” on page 38.

6.1 Adjusting the display To obtain meaningful measured values you must check before every use that the pointer of the scale reads “0”. 1. Ensure that the scale has no load. 2. Check the current position of the pointer. 3. Move the adjusting wheel so that the pointer reads “0”. – Turn clockwise: Pointer moves counterclockwise – Turn counter-clockwise: Pointer moves clockwise

Weighing • 35

6.2 Performing weighing CAUTION! Patients can be injured if they fall

People with restricted mobility may fall when trying to step on or off the scales. – Support people with restricted mobility when they step on and off the scales. – Only use this scale for patients who are able to stand on their own when being weighed. 1. Make sure that the pointer reads “0”. 2. Ask the patient to step onto the scale and keep still. 3. Read off the measured result. NOTE: If your scales only display measurement values in "lbs", you can use the conversion tool on page 43 to convert measurement values to kg values. 4. Ask the patient to step off the scale.

7. HYGIENIC REPROCESSING NOTICE! Damage to device

Inappropriate detergents and disinfectants may damage the sensitive surfaces of the device. – Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. – Do not use white spirit or petroleum spirit. – Only use disinfectants suitable for sensitive surfaces. Suitable disinfectants are available from specialist dealers.

10.MAINTENANCE/RECALIBRATION 10.1 Information on servicing (seca 750/760/762) The product must be set up carefully and serviced regularly. Depending on how frequently the scale is used, we recommended servicing at intervals of 3 to 5 years. ATTENTION! Incorrect measurements as a result of poor servicing

– Please only have servicing and repairs performed by an authorized service partner. – You can find service partners in your area at www.seca.com or by sending an e-mail to service@seca.com.

10.2 Information on recalibration (seca 761) We recommend having your device serviced prior to recalibration. NOTICE! Incorrect measurements as a result of poor servicing

– Please only have servicing and repairs performed by an authorized service partner. – You can find service partners in your area at www.seca.com or by sending an e-mail to service@seca.com. Have an authorized technician perform recalibration according to national legal regulations. The year of first calibration can be found after the CE symbol on the rating plate above the number of the notified body 0109 (Hessen Weights & Measures Office [Hessische Eichdirektion, Germany]). Recalibration is necessary whenever one or more calibration seals are damaged.
