BMI function

The Body Mass Index is used to determine nutritional condition and relates body size and weight. A tolerance range is indicated, which is considered optimal for health (between 18.5 and 24.9). Additional medical advice should be sought for any variations.

BMIF – Breast Milk Intake Function

The Breast Milk Intake Function can be used to determine the milk volume ingested by a baby when breast feeding. With the press of a button, body weight of the baby before food intake is saved and subtracted from the actual weight after re-weighing (difference function).

Damping function

The damping function makes it possible to easily determine weight even when interference occurs when weighing e.g. patient movement. The degree of damping can be adjusted before weighing to the respective need: The stronger the damping, the less sensitive the scale reacts to movement irritations when weighing.

Limit value function

For effective load control of patients. A weight limit value can be set that is indicated with tone when exceeded.

HOLD function

After saving the weight value with the HOLD button, the determined weight value continues to be displayed after the load is removed. This makes it possible to quickly care for a patient before the value can be noted in peace.

Multi Range function

SECA scales with multi range function allow the quick switchover of the weighing range. You can choose between a fine graduation or a high load range. In weighing range 1, a finer graduation is available with reduced capacity. In weighing range 2, the maximum capacity can be utilised.

Mother/child function

This function was developed to also weigh children in the arms of an adult in addition to the adult herself. If the mother/child function is activated, the previously saved weight value of the adult is deducted from the currently determined value. Only the weight of the child is then displayed on the scale.

Pre-TARA function

If this function is activated, a previously saved weight value is deducted from the currently measured value automatically, e.g. if caretaker and patient are standing on the scale at the same time and only the weight of the patient should be displayed.

TARA function

Useful when any additional weight (e.g. nappies or blankets with babies/infants or also chairs or wheelchairs) should not influence the weighing result. This additional weight is first weighed and then the displayed is tared to null. The weight of the object is then not included in the measurement that follows.
