1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
1.1 Intended use
The seca 286 measuring station is used in accordance with national regula-
tions primarily in hospitals, medical practices, in-patient care facilities and in
so-called "self-screening", in which patients perform measurements them-
selves.
The seca 286 measuring station is for conventional determination of weight
and height and for determining the general state of nutrition; it supports the
attending physician in making a diagnosis or deciding on a course of treat-
ment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, the physician needs to commission
other specific examinations and take their results into account, in addition to
determining weight and height.
1.2 Description of function
The seca 286 measuring station measures height using ultrasound. Weight is
recorded using four load cells. The device guides the patient through the
measuring process with configurable voice output. A poster and a label
explaining the correct measuring operation are also enclosed.
Height is transmitted to the multifunctional display. This allows body mass
index (BMI) and body fat rate (BFR) to be calculated automatically.
Measured results can be transmitted wirelessly to a seca wireless printer or to
a PC equipped with a seca USB wireless adapter and compatible seca PC
software via the seca 360° wireless network.
Use the measuring station only for the purpose mentioned in the section enti-
tled "Intended use".
1.3 User qualification
Administration/network operation The device may only be set up and incorporated in a network by experienced
administrators or hospital technicians.
Measuring mode The device may only be operated by healthcare professionals.
The patient can perform the measuring operation independently.

devices, a minimum distance of approx. 1 meter away to prevent
incorrect measurements or wireless transmission interference.
►Keep HF devices such as cell phones a minimum distance of
approx. 1 meter away to prevent incorrect measurements or
wireless transmission interference.
►The actual transmission output of HF equipment may require
minimum distances of more than 1 meter.

58 •
Preventing electric shock WARNING!
Electric shock
►Set up the device so that the power supply socket is easy to reach
and the device can be disconnected from the power supply quickly.
►Ensure that your local power supply matches the information on the
power supply unit.
►Do not touch the power supply unit with wet hands.
►Do not use extension cables or power strips.
►Make sure that cables are not pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
►Make sure that cables do not come into contact with hot objects.
►Do not operate the device at an altitude of more than 3000 m above
sea level.
Preventing injuries and infections WARNING!
Injury from falls
►Ensure that the device is positioned firmly and level.
►Route connecting cables (if present) in such a way that neither user
nor patient can trip over them.
►The device is not designed as a standing aid. Assist people with lim-
ited motor skills when they are getting up, e.g. from a wheelchair.
►Make sure that the patient does not step onto and off the weighing
platform right at the edges.
►Make sure that the patient steps onto and off the weighing platform
slowly and safely.
WARNING!
Danger of slipping
►Ensure that the weighing platform is dry before the patient steps
onto it.
►Ensure that the patients feet are dry before he or she steps onto the
weighing platform.
►Make sure that the patient steps onto and off the weighing platform
slowly and safely.
CAUTION!
Hazard to patient, damage to device
The area where the patient stands consists of a glass plate. Damage
to the glass plate, e.g. as a result of scratches, cracks and chips,
presents a risk of injury and can lead to the glass plate breaking.

4.2 Assembling the device
The first column element is fitted to the lower part of the device at the factory.
Use an assistant to perform the rest of the assembly. Because the assembled
product is very tall, we recommend placing the components on the floor and
only standing the device up once it is fully assembled. Proceed as outlined
below.
Fitting the second column element ATTENTION!
Device damage as a result of assembly error
If the long and short threaded rods are switched, it will not be possible
to assemble the device so that it is fit for purpose.
►Ensure that the short threaded rod is fitted when assembling the
second column element (see "Scope of delivery" on page 69).
To fit the second column element, proceed as outlined below.
1. Screw the short threaded rod hand-tight into the connecting nut of the
first column element.
