Weighing a patient The procedure described in this section is suitable for

patients who can stand on their own and stand still

throughout the entire weighing operation.

1. Ensure that the scale has no load.

2. Ask the patient to step onto the scale.

3. Ask the patient to keep still.

4. Read off the measurement result.

NOTE

To weigh patients with restricted mobility, see

the section entitled "Determining extra weight

(TARE)" on page 76.

To weigh patients with no mobility at all, see the

section entitled "Permanently saving the addi-

tional weight (Pt)" on page 82.

Taring off extra weight

(TARE)

Using the TARE function, you can prevent any extra

weight (e.g. a towel or a support on the weighing plat-

form) from affecting the weighing result.

This function is suitable for patients with restricted

mobility who cannot stand for the whole of the weigh-

ing operation. You can weigh a wheelchair first and

then deduct its tare weight. The patient can then be

weighed in a sitting position.

ATTENTION!

Incorrect measurement due to force shunts

If an extra weight, e.g. a large towel, contacts

the surface on which the scale is placed, weight

will not be measured correctly.

– Make sure that extra weights are only placed

on the scale's weighing surface.

1. Switch on the scale.

2. Place the extra weight on the scale.

3. Hold the (hold/tare) arrow key down until the

message "NET" appears in the display.

4. Wait until the display stops flashing and 0.0

appears instead.

5. Weigh patients as their mobility permits.

– Ask the patient to step onto the scales and to

stand still.

– Help the patient step onto the scale and sit

down on the waiting wheelchair.

6. Read off the measurement result.

The additional weight is automatically deducted.
