1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
1.1 Intended use
The medical Body Composition Analyzer seca 515/514 is mainly used in
hospitals, medical practices and inpatient care facilities in accordance with
national regulations. The seca 515/514 device records weight, height and bio-
electric impedance measurements and parameters, e.g. fat-free mass (FFM),
which can be derived from them for automatic calculation. The results are dis-
played graphically and assist the attending physician with the following medi-
cal issues:
• determining energy expenditure and energy reserves as a basis for
nutritional advice
• assessing metabolic activity and the success of a training program, e.g.
within the framework of rehabilitation or physiotherapy
• determining a patient's fluids status
• determining general state of health or, in the case of a previously-known
disease, assessing its severity
The seca 515/514 is not a diagnostic device. To make an accurate diagnosis,
the physician needs to commission thorough examinations and take their
results into account in addition to the results of the seca 515/514.
1.2 Description of function
Calculating weight and height The device uses an electronic scale. Weight is recorded across 4 load cells.
Height is recorded via manual entry or via wireless transmission from a
seca 360° stadiometer.
Bioimpedance measurement Bioimpedance is measured according to the 8-point method. The flow of the
low alternating current and the measurement of impedance are performed for
each side of the body using a pair of foot electrodes and 3 pairs of hand elec-
trodes. The hand electrodes are attached at different heights so that persons
with a height of between 1.60 m and 2.0 m can adopt the ideal position on
the device for a bioimpedance measurement.
Administering patient data seca patient files can be created directly on the device for administering mea-
sured results. The seca patient files are stored in the patient database of the
seca analytics 115 PC software supplied. Alternatively, seca patient files can
be saved on the USB memory stick supplied. The USB memory stick likewise
contains a seca patient database.
seca patient files and seca patient databases contain exclusively data neces-
sary for working with seca products or determined using seca products. seca
patient files can be administered and edited only using the seca 115 PC
software. The export and import functions of the seca 115 PC software can
be used for exchanging data with surgery and hospital information systems.
Evaluation Bioimpedance measurements are evaluated in graphical form based on sci-
entifically-established formulas. An in-house study by seca established formu-
las for determining the parameters of total body water (TBW), extracellular
water (ECW), fat-free mass (FFM) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) for arms,
legs, torso and the whole body. In the same studies, in-house reference val-
ues were determined for the following parameters, in order to allow normal
ranges to be shown: bioelectric impedance vector analysis (BIVA), mass indi-
ces (FMI, FFMI), phase angle (φ). You can find further information in the
Instructions for Use for Physicians and Assistants.

Administration of user data Access data for users of the device is administered in the seca 115 PC
software supplied. A user PIN for the seca 515/514 is generated automatically
when user accounts for the seca 115 are created. The administrator also has
the option of specifying a user PIN him or herself.
The device can only be configured with administrator rights. An initial adminis-
trator PIN for the device is provided. It can only be changed on the device.
The creation and administration of user data is only necessary if the seca
patient database of the seca 115 PC software is to be accessed from the
device.
Data transmission and network
functions
The device is networkable. The network connection allows the device to use
both the seca patient database and the special print function of the seca 115
PC software.
The special print function of the seca 115 PC software makes it possible to
start printing out a detailed results report directly on the medical Body
Composition Analyzer seca 515/514.
Alternatively to the Ethernet link, seca mBCAs and the seca 115 PC software
can communicate wirelessly via seca 360° technology. For this purpose, the
seca 360° wireless USB adapter 456 (included in the scope of delivery) must
be connected to a PC on which at least the application software of the
seca 115 is installed.
seca 360° stadiometers can wirelessly transmit measured results to the
device.
The device has the following interfaces:
• on the weighing platform
– network connection (Ethernet)
• on the touchscreen display
– internal seca wireless module
– USB interface for connecting a USB memory stick (included in the
scope of delivery)

►To reach a precise diagnosis and to initiate therapies, the attending
physician must have thorough examinations conducted and take
the results of these into consideration, as well as using the seca 515/
514.
►The responsibility for diagnoses and the therapies derived from
them lies with the attending physician.
CAUTION!
Hazard to patient
To prevent misinterpretations, measured results for medical purposes
may only be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilograms, height:
meters). Some devices have the option of displaying measured results
in different units. This is purely an additional function.
►Only use measurements in SI units.
►The user takes sole responsibility for the use of measured results in
non-SI units.
ATTENTION!
Loss of data
►Before you save and re-use values measured with the seca 515/514

4.2 Establishing power supply
WARNING!
Using the wrong power packs may cause bodily injury or damage to
the device
Conventional power packs may deliver a higher voltage than is indi-
cated on them. The device may overheat, catch fire, melt or short-
circuit.
►Use only the original seca power pack as contained in the scope of
delivery and listed in the section entitled “Spare parts” on page 56.
The connection for the power pack is located on the underside of the
weighing platform. To establish the power supply, proceed as outlined below.
1. Insert the plug required for your power supply into the power pack.
2. Tilt the device forward.
3. Insert the device connector of the power pack into the connector socket
of the device.
4. Carefully return the device to an upright position.
5. Plug the power pack into a power supply socket.
4.3 Setting up the device
The device is fully assembled upon delivery.
ATTENTION!
Incorrect measurement due to force shunt
If the device and its housing are in contact with something, e.g. due to
an uneven or soft floor covering, weight will not be measured cor-
rectly.
►Set up the device so that only its foot screws are in contact with the
floor.
1. Place the device on a firm, level surface.
ATTENTION!
Incorrect alignment may cause incorrect measurements
The spirit level is very sensitive. Additional weights, such as towels,
can result in incorrect scale alignment.
►Align the device only without a load on it.
2. Level the device by turning the foot screws.
The air bubble in the spirit level must be located in the center of the circle.
