The seca mechanical baby scale is mainly used in hos-
pitals, doctors' surgeries and inpatient care facilities in
accordance with national regulations.
The scale is both for determining birth weight and
checking weight gain during the growth process, and it
supports the doctor supervising treatment in making a
diagnosis or deciding on a treatment.
In order to make a precise diagnosis, however, other
specific examinations must be set up by the physician
in addition to determination of weight and their results
taken into account.
On mechanical scales, weight is determined by a load
lever system. To display the weight, the user moves
two sliding weights on a beam until the beam is bal-
anced. The patient's weight can then be read off at the
position of the sliding weights.
Use the scale only for the purpose quoted in the
section entitled "Intended use".
The device may only be operated by healthcare
professionals.
