2. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE
2.1 Intended use seca mVSA 535
The medical Vital Signs Analyzer secamVSA 535 is a Spot-Check device used
for noninvasive, discontinuous measurement and display of NIBP (blood
pressure), SpO2 (oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin), TEMP (body tem-
perature) and PR (pulse rate).
The vital signs monitor model secamVSA 535 is mainly used in inpatient facili-
ties (hospitals, medical practices and care facilities) in accordance with
national regulations and is intended to be used on adult and pediatric individ-
uals (3 years of age or older).
The secamVSA 535 can be used in conjunction with an optional PC software
accessory for data management, calculations and display of information.
lf used in conjunction with seca medical weight and height measurement
devices the secamVSA 535 can receive and display weight and height values.
2.2 Description of function
Device components The secamVSA 535 consists of a monitor and a SmartBucket.
The monitor is for managing patient and user data and for preparing and ana-
lyzing measurements. The monitor is equipped with a touchscreen display.
The SmartBucket includes the measuring equipment for recording vital signs
and storage facilities for the measuring accessories.
In the maximal configuration, the vital signs blood pressure, body tempera-
ture, pulse rate and oxygen saturation can be recorded. Your version of the
device may have a more limited functional scope.
Power supply The monitor is powered by a connection to the power supply. The monitor
has a lithium-ion rechargeable battery to provide a mobile power supply.

The SmartBucket is supplied with power via a USB connection from the
monitor.
Vital signs measurement Blood pressure is measured non-invasively with seca measuring equipment
and seca blood pressure cuffs.
Temperature is measured with COVIDIENTM measuring equipment and,
depending on the device version, as an oral/axillary (blue temperature probe)
or rectal (red temperature probe) procedure.
On device versions without integrated temperature measurement,
temperature values can be entered manually.
Oxygen saturation is measured with Masimo SET® and with the correspond-
ing SpO2 sensors and patient cables.
Depending on device version, pulse rate is determined using either oxygen
saturation or blood pressure.
Alarms The device is intended for discontinuous measurement of vital signs, so it
does not have an alarm function.
Weight and height Scales and measuring rods from the seca 360° wireless system can transmit
measuring results to the device wirelessly.
Scales and measuring rods with an internal interface module or a seca 452
external interface module can transmit measuring results to the device via
LAN or WiFi.
Alternatively, the patient's weight and height can be recorded manually.
seca user accounts The user accounts for the device can be synchronized automatically with the
seca user accounts of the seca analytics 115 PC software. This allows access
to both the device and the PC software with the same seca user account.
User IDs of EMR systems If the device is connected to an EMR system via the seca connect 103 soft-
ware, the user IDs of the EMR system can be used for measurements. Local
user accounts on the device are required for administration and service tasks.
seca patient files seca patient files and seca patient databases contain exclusively data neces-
sary for working with seca products or which were determined using seca
products.
In standalone mode or when connected to the seca analytics 115 PC soft-
ware, measuring results are managed in seca patient files. seca patient files
can be set up, edited, exported and deleted directly on the device.
The device can be configured so that the seca patient files of the device are
automatically synchronized with the seca patient files of the
seca analytics 115 PC software.
Patient data from EMR systems Depending on the EMR system in question, patient data from EMR systems
may be used via the export and import functions of the seca analytics 115 PC
software or via a connection to the seca connect 103 software.
Measuring results Measured results for the vital signs blood pressure (NIBP), temperature
(TEMP), pulse rate (PR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) are displayed in
graphical form.
Data transmission and network
functions
The device can be integrated in a network via a LAN interface or via WiFi in
order to use the following functions:
• Connection of the device to the seca analytics 115 PC software avail-
able as an option: Communication with the databases of the

8 • secamVSA 535
17-10-05-368-002b_10-2020 S
seca analytics 115 PC software and use of the seca directprint function
• Connection of the device to the seca connect 103 software available as
an option: Using the user and patient data of an EMR system and
submitting measuring results to the EMR system
•seca 360° proximity connection: Receiving weight and height from
scales and measuring rods with an internal interface module or a
seca 452 external interface module
