• It is currently possible in ClinSpark to start invoke a seca measurement on a form that already has a status of “Complete” , meaning (i.e. measurement data has been populated via the async job).

  • If a second measurement

  would be

  • is invoked from a “Complete” form, it's possible that the enrollment data (TENANT_ID, DEVICE_ID, & REQUEST_ID) would be inaccurate for the measurement data saved to the form.

  • TENANT_ID would be the same because as the data would

  be

  • is being collected / invoked for the same site.

  And more than likely

  • DEVICE_ID would typically match

  as well if

  • , given the site only has a seca single device

  . But in this scenario, the

  • REQUEST_ID would be wrong as it would reflect an identifier for requesting a measurement that has yet to be acquired.

  • When this scenario occurs, measurement data from the first invocation will NOT be overwritten. TENANT_ID, DEVICE_ID, & REQUEST_ID could be changed from the 2nd invocation (following the rules noted above), but all other previously collected data cannot change due to the safeguards implemented in async job that brings the result data back to the ClinSpark form.

• Currently, measurements that are “Weight Only” are not able to be sent / transferred through ClinSpark. These weight measurements would need to be manually captured on a scale independent of device invocation and entered onto the form manually.

• The seca mBCA 554 device will timeout if a subject does not step on the platform within 5 minutes of measurement start. We set the threshold to 10 minutes to allow for a 5-minute grace period in the event a subject stands on the platform moments before timeout. Measurement acquisition should not take more than 5 minutes. This threshold is used to prevent processing records that are too old to be considered for data posting.

• If a Volunteers Demographics are updated following a measurement all past measurements will retain the data as calculated prior to the change. As each invocation and measurement is sent to the seca analytics platform ClinSpark sends the volunteer details as a “snapshot in time” so retrospective data will not be updated within past forms collected via ClinSpark.

• In scenarios where a scale is not reserved for a specific person / measurement prior to device invocation it has been noted that Date of Birth may be requested following the collection workflow. Seca calls this the “anonymous workflow” and confirmed that this can be caused by error conditions in pushing Demographics to the device. In these instances, the recommendation is to start the collection workflow again. If the condition is seen in numerous consecutive invocations, please review demographics and contact the help desk.
