Additional information

seca mBCA Ultra with Ultrasonic Height Measure

The seca mBCA Ultra with Ultrasonic Height Measure is a premium medical body composition analyser designed for fast, validated and reproducible body composition assessment in professional healthcare environments. Combining a Class III medical weighing platform, integrated handrail, 8-point Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and contactless ultrasonic height measurement, the mBCA Ultra provides a complete measurement station for clinical body composition analysis.

Designed for hospitals, GP surgeries, private clinics, dietetic services, rehabilitation departments, sports medicine, physiotherapy, obesity clinics and health screening environments, the seca mBCA Ultra helps healthcare professionals assess more than body weight alone. It supports detailed analysis of muscle mass, fat mass, fat-free mass, body water distribution and other key BIA values through the connected seca analytics 125 cloud-based software.

The integrated handrail provides fixed hand positions, helping support reliable and reproducible measurement conditions. This is especially useful in busy clinical settings where different users need consistent patient positioning, and where some patients may benefit from additional stability while standing on the platform.

The ultrasonic height measure allows contactless height measurement in seconds, helping streamline workflows by combining height, weight, BMI and body composition analysis in a single station. Foot-mounted LEDs guide patient positioning on the platform, while the 4.3" tiltable and rotatable touchscreen supports clear operation for clinical teams.

The seca mBCA Ultra has been developed with medical users and validated against recognised gold-standard reference methods, including whole-body MRI for skeletal muscle mass and the 4-compartment model for fat mass. This makes it a strong choice for clinical services that require validated, medical-grade body composition data rather than simple consumer-style body composition readings.

With a 300kg capacity, 24-second BIA measurement time, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, the mBCA Ultra is designed to support efficient patient throughput, clear data handling and long-term monitoring. It is particularly useful for weight management services, nutrition assessment, rehabilitation progress tracking, sports medicine, health screening and specialist clinical assessment.

Please note: an annual seca 125 / seca analytics 125 software subscription is required to access software functionality, updates, support and ongoing operation.

What is the seca mBCA Ultra used for?

The seca mBCA Ultra is used for professional medical body composition analysis. It supports assessment of body composition values such as muscle mass, fat mass, fat-free mass, body water distribution and related BIA values in clinical, rehabilitation, dietetic, weight management and health screening settings.

What makes the seca mBCA Ultra different from the seca mBCA Pro?

The seca mBCA Ultra includes ultrasonic height measurement, allowing height, weight, BMI and body composition analysis to be combined in one measurement station. The Pro version includes the BIA platform and handrail, while the Ultra configuration adds the seca 257 ultrasonic height measurement system.

How long does a seca mBCA Ultra body composition measurement take?

The seca mBCA Ultra completes the BIA measurement in approximately 24 seconds, helping support efficient patient flow in busy clinical environments.

What is the height measurement range?

The integrated seca 257 ultrasonic height measurement system has a measuring range of 100–220cm with 1mm graduations.

Is software required for the seca mBCA Ultra?

Yes, an annual seca 125 / seca analytics 125 software subscription is required to access software functionality, updates, support and ongoing operation.

Who is the seca mBCA Ultra suitable for?

The seca mBCA Ultra is suitable for trained healthcare and clinical professionals working in hospitals, GP surgeries, private clinics, dietetics, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, sports medicine, obesity services and health screening environments.
