Congratulations!
In the seca 222 measuring rod, you have

and adults.
It is manufactured from stable, easy-care alu-
minium profile. The measuring slide is made of
plastic and can be folded.
The scope of supply also includes a heel plate
and a measuring slide extender to facilitate ac-
curate measuring.
The seca 222 measuring rod is for measuring

pathological nutritional or other physiological
disorders.
It is attached to the wall using the assembly
material supplied.
The seca 222 measuring rod is used with
a seca column scale primarily in hospitals,
general practice and measuring and nursing
facilities on wards.

has been measured to avoid the risk of
injury.
Assembly instructions

The scale stands on the ground after fastening
• Expand the measuring rod until you can
insert the two fastening screws
• You select the distance of the measuring
rod to the wall with the number of spacers
on the screws. You must use at least one
washer for each of the two fixing points.
Attaching the heel stop
• The heel stop enclosed helps the person
carrying out the measurement to assume
the correct position. It is mounted with the
measuring rod.
• Before attaching the measuring rod to the
wall, insert the scale in the notch of the heel
stop.
Please note: to avoid damaging the scale
when in use, the heel stop must be supported
against the wall. Therefore you must attach suf-
