Results of bioimpedance
measurement deviate
significantly from expected
results
Patient moved during the
measurement
Request that the patient does not move
during the measurement and repeat the
measurement
Patient used different pairs of hand
electrodes on the left and right
Ensure that the patient uses the same
hand electrodes on both sides and repeat
the measurement
Electrodes faulty Inform seca service
Value of an evaluation
parameter is shown in red
Value outside the normal range
determined for the evaluation
parameter
Repeat the measurement in order to
exclude measurement errors
If the repeat measurement also produces
a value outside the normal range, take the
value into account in further investigations
After a different tab has been
called up temporarily, the
assigned seca patient file is
no longer shown in the patient
tab
seca patient file selected, but selection
not confirmed
Re-assign seca patient file and press the
confirm button (see “Assigning a
measurement to a patient file” on page 36),
only then call up another tab
