Seca mBCA 554 Digital Body Composition Analysis Scale
The seca mBCA 554 is a medical Body Composition Analyzer that was ideally adapted to the working conditions in hospitals and medical practices. The seca mBCA is the cornerstone of a comprehensive body composition and wellness evaluation. Its versatile reporting modules provide more pertinent information to help you accurately assess, monitor and trend the specific indices that you select.
The Seca BIA Platform mBCA 554 Medical Body Composition analyzes body composition through a process also known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). This body composition analyzer is essential in correctly measuring a patient's fat and muscle mass for proper healthcare solutions.
After a quick scan, the system delivers valuable feedback by comparing the results to a spectrum of expected standards. In just 24 seconds, the scale provides a comprehensive full-body scan and tabulates the results, thus proving making it a valuable tool for diagnostics and therapy.
To ensure efficiency, the system is designed for easy integration into healthcare networks' electronic medical records (EMR) systems. It also includes a USB port for quick scanning of patient ID bands and is equipped with Wifi and ethernet capabilities for seamless results upload.
