The asymmetric limit
function helps in dialysis.
Up till now it has been necessary during
dialysis treatment to keep an eye on
measurements until water and toxic sub-
stances had been ushed from the body.
Now the asymmetric limit function replaces
all the uninterrupted monitoring with an
acoustic warning.
The function in detail:
Because patients undergo dialysis treatments
at certain intervals, toxic substances and
water collect in the body which the diseased
kidneys cannot eliminate. As a result, the
weight of the patient increases day by day.
At the time of treatment, the patient’s dry
weight, that is, without accumulated uid,
can be determined and dened as the target
weight. As soon as that weight is reached, an
acoustic warning sounds and hemodialysis
can be stopped.
Supplemental display
for seca 434
The optional multifunctional display seca 434
supplements the seca 984 with still another
important function, the symmetric limit function.
It also provides a pause key and a weight
memory function that can hold up to seven
different measurements/weights at once.
The symmetric limit function
helps in intensive care.
The difference is really quite simple between
the asymmetric limit function for dialysis and
the symmetric limit function for intensive
care. A limit can be set for one function and
a uctuation range can be specied for the
other. Particularly in intensive care, that’s a
big help in monitoring illnesses with extreme
uctuations in uid levels.
The function in detail:
In cases of severe burns, patients experi-
ence a serious loss of uid as the wounds
discharge large amounts of protein-laden
uid. The body attempts to strike a balance
by storing uid taken from blood vessels. This
reaction in turn leads to difculty in the body’s
maintaining proper circulation. With the help
of the symmetric limit function, the patient’s
weight with an adequate supply of uids is
determined along with the corresponding
uctuation range. If the value is outside the
range, an acoustic warning is sounded.
Standing by and checking the display?
Completely unnecessary.
The pause function increases
comfort.
When the pause function is activated, objects
can be placed on or removed from the bed
without inuencing the weighing results. If the
patient requests an extra pillow, that’s no
problem at all. Doctors and nurses can
respond to the patient’s every wish and still
obtain the desired results. It’s very easy –
with use of the command “Pause ON”, the
weighing process can be interrupted for as
long as necessary. All weight changes that are
made until the “Pause OFF” key is pressed will
be ignored when the results are calculated.
