2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Congratulations!
With the seca 674 electronic multi-functional scale, you
have purchased a highly precise and simultaneously
robust device.
For over 170 years, seca has used its experience in the
service of healthcare and, as a market leader, it has
always set standards in many countries of the world
with innovative developments in weighing and
measuring.
2.2 Intended use
Electronic multi-functional scale seca 674 is mainly
used in hospitals, medical practices and in-patient care
facilities in accordance with national regulations.
The scale is for conventional determination of weight
and establishment of general state of nutrition; it assists
the physician supervising treatment in making a diag-
nosis or deciding on a course of treatment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, other spe-
cific examinations have to be ordered by the physician
and their results taken into account, in addition to
determining a weight value.
2.3 Description of function
On some variants of this scale, the weight display can
be switched between kilograms (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a few
seconds.
In addition to conventional determination of weight, the
seca 674 provides a function for determining body
mass index. To this end, height is entered on the key-
pad and the body mass index associated with the
weight value is calculated automatically.
The seca 674 can be moved on casters.
Use the scale only for the purpose named in the
section entitled "Intended use" on page 46.

3.2 Basic safety instructions
Handling the instrument •Pleasetakenoteoftheinformation in these instruc-
tions for use.
• Keep the instructions for use in a safe place. The
instructions for use are a component of the device
and must be available at all times.
DANGER!
Risk of explosion
Do not use the device in an environment in
which one of the following gases has accumu-
lated:
–oxygen
– flammable anesthetics
– other flammable substances/air mixtures
CAUTION!
Patient hazard, damage to device
•Additionaldeviceswhichareconnectedto
electrical medical devices must provide evi-
dence of compliance with the relevant IEC or
ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-
processing devices). Furthermore, all configu-
rations must comply with the requirements of
standards for medical systems (see IEC
60601-1-1 or Section 16 of the 3rd edition of
IEC 60601-1 respectively). Anyone connect-
ing additional devices to electrical medical
devices is considered a system configurer
and is therefore responsible for ensuring that
the system complies with the requirements of
standards for systems. Your attention is
drawn to the fact that local laws take prece-
dence over the above-mentioned require-
ments of standards. In the event of any
queries, please contact your local specialist
dealer or Technical Service.

Handling measuring
results
WARNING!
Patient hazard
This device is no diagnostic device. It simply
assists the treating physician in establishing a
diagnosis.
–Inordertomakeaprecisediagnosisand
initiate therapeutic measures, besides
determination of the weight, further targeted
examinations must be set up by the
physician, and their results must be
considered.
–Theresponsibilityfordiagnosis 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 only. Some devices offer the ability to
display test results in other units. This is only an
additional function.
– Use the results exclusively in SI units.
–Theuseofmeasurementresultsinnon-SI
units is the sole responsibility of the user.
