7.2 Determining the weight and height
ATTENTION!
Incorrect measurement due to force shunts
All operating elements of the device are in the so-called weight-
sensitive area. If you touch or support yourself on the device when
measuring a patient, this influences the measured results.
− During the measurement process, ensure that the device is only
touched by the patient who is currently being measured.
Starting the weighing procedure 1. Ensure that the device has no load.
2. Switch on the device.
The LED of the ON/OFF button turns white
3. Wait until the weight/height tab is active.
WARNING!
Injury due to falling
The device is not designed to be a stand assist.
− Assist persons with limited mobility when they are sitting up e.g.
from a wheelchair.
NOTE:
If you wish to perform a bioelectric impedance analysis directly
thereafter, ensure that the patient steps on the scale with bare feet
(see “Performing bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)” on page 31).
4. Ask the patient to position themselves on the device.
The weight display flashes.
The hold value is determined automatically.
5. Wait until the weight display and the hold value no longer flash.
6. Read the measurement result.
ATTENTION!
Data loss
If there is no new entry for approx. 5 minutes, the current
measurement is discarded. The complete measurement procedure
must be repeated.
NOTE:
When the patient steps off the device, the hold value will continue
to be displayed. As a result, you can attend to the patient before
recording the weight. To delete the hold value, press the
hold
button.
