Medical and Healthcare scale – seca 684 (wireless multifunctional scales)

Weighing without restrictions

The patient can be safely and accurately weighed while standing, seated or in a wheelchair. No conversion is required. The stable handrail supports the standing patient, the integrated fold-down seat provides comfort for the seated patient, and the large platform (31.5 x 33.1 inch) accommodates a patient in a wheelchair. The weight of the wheelchair or walker is simply deducted with use of the Pre-TARE function. Special attention has been given to making the scale easy-to-access and safe, with a stop barrier provided for the front wheels of the wheelchair. Additional details: easy-to-read swiveling display can be turned toward patient or caregiver, the practical HOLD function shows the weighing result after the patient has left the platform, the damping function ensures precise results, the non-slip rubber coating and handrail guarantee a firm foothold and integrated transport castors make the scale mobile. Just press the SEND key to transmit measurements wirelessly to a seca digital printer with wireless reception or the PC.

Raises awareness for maintaining a healthy weight

The seca directprint is the ideal tool for raising awareness about maintaining a healthy weight. Not only does it tell your patients their height, weight and BMI, but it compiles their measurements into an easy-to-read one page printout which includes sound information and tips on weight management. In seconds, it provides the ideal ice-breaker for your overweight patients by drawing attention to the subject of overweight and obesity without making them feel uncomfortable.
This removes inhibitions, makes people more willing to talk, and motivates your patients in the long term to tackle the subject more rigorously and do something about it. This in turn can generate economic benefits for your practice, since you can now offer additional services.

Stroke

Strokes are the third leading cause of deaths and they are generated by a sudden disruption of blood circulation in the brain. They are often accompanied by dizziness, paralysis, vision and speech disorders. The consequences are very serious and can sometimes lead to permanent disabilities or death.

Typically men are 70 years old and women are 75 years old when a stroke occurs. The probability of becoming ill increases with age, weight and the related problems such as high blood pressure, lipometabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus and arteriosclerosis. Yet, prevention is possible by administering regular weight checks with seca scales since they can fulfill any weighing requirements for patients standing, sitting or lying down.

In 89% of all cases, a stroke can be diagnosed by the average person.
Here is how to recognize a stroke.

A simple test is the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS):

Ask the person to smile. If paralysis exists, one side of the face will droop.
Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase such as “I do not need any help.” Speech should not be slurred.
Ask the person to stretch out his/her arms with the palms facing up. If paralysis exists, one arm cannot be raised and the arm will fall or drift, especially if the person’s eyes are closed.
