1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
1.1 Intended use
The medical measuring rod seca 222 is used primarily
in hospitals, general practice and nursing facilities on
wards.
The measuring rod is for conventional determination of
height and for the early detection of growth disorders; it
assists the physician supervising treatment in making a
diagnosis or deciding on a course of treatment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, other speci-
fic examinations have to be ordered by the physician
and their results taken into account, in addition to
determining height values.
1.2 Functional description
The measuring rod is to stand on the floor and is fitted
to a wall with two screws. It is possible to compensate
for protruding walls or attachments (such as skirting
boards or cable ducts) with a maximum of 5 spacer
washers per screw.
The measuring rod consists of two telescopic elemen-
tes:
• Lower telescopic element: Measuring range 1:
6 cm -130.5 cm (3 inch - 51.4 inch)
• Upper telescopic element: Measuring range 2:
130.5 cm - 230 cm (51.4 inch - 90 inch)
The head slide of the measuring rod is locked at the
top of the upper telescopic element to measure per-
sons taller than 130.5 cm (51.4 inch). The head slide
needs to be released to measure persons smaller than
130.5 cm (51.4 inch). The measuring flap can be folded
down.
The heel stop helps the patient to assume the correct
postion for measurement. The heel stop ist attached to
the measuring rod and supported against the wall.
