1. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE
1.1 Congratulations!
By purchasing the electronic personal scales seca 703
you are now in possession of an extremely accurate
device that is also robust at the same time.
seca has put its experience at the service of health care
for over 170 years and as a market leader in many
countries, is constantly setting new standards with its
innovative developments for weighing and measure-
ment.
1.2 Intended use
The electronic personal scales seca 703 are mainly
used in hospitals, doctors' surgeries and inpatient care
facilities in accordance with national regulations.
Some versions of these scales allow you to switch the
weight display between kilos (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). The result of weighing is available within a
few seconds.
Besides conventional weight measurement the
seca 703 also features a function to calculate the body
mass index. The keypad is used to enter the height,
and this is followed by automatic calculation of the
body mass index from the weighing value.
The seca 360° wireless network allows the measured
results to be transmitted wirelessly to a seca wireless
printer or a PC equipped with the seca analytics 105
software and the
seca 360° wireless USB adapter 456.
The seca 703 is provided with rollers to allow it to be
moved about and thanks to its low power consump-
tion, it will offer hours of battery operation for mobile
applications.

key (send/print).
BMI Evaluation
Under 18.5
The patient is underweight. There might be a tendency to
anorexia. It is advisable that the patient puts on weight to
improve well-being and performance. If in doubt, a medical
specialist should be consulted.
Between 18.5 and
24.9 The patient's weight is normal. No change is necessary.
Between 25 and 30
(pre-obesity)
The patient is slightly to moderately overweight and should
lose weight if already suffering from disease (e.g. diabetes,
high blood pressure, gout, disorders of the fat metabolism).
Over 30
The patient urgently needs to lose weight as this is putting a
strain on the metabolism, circulation and skeleton. The
recommendation is for careful adherence to a diet, plenty of
exercise and behavioural training. If in doubt, a medical speci-
alist should be consulted.
