5.2 Determining weight and height
NOTICE!
Incorrect measurement due to force shunt
All the controls of the device are in the so-called weight-sensitive area.
If you touch or lean on the device when measuring a patient, this will
affect the measured results.
► During the measuring procedure, 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 is white
3. Wait until the
weight/height tab is active.
WARNING!
Injury from falling
The device is not designed as a standing aid.
► Assist persons with limited mobility when they are getting up, e.g.
from a wheelchair.
NOTE:
If you wish to perform a bioelectric impedance analysis directly there-
after, ensure that the patient steps on the scale with bare feet (see
“Performing a bioimpedance measurement” 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 are no longer flashing.
6. Read off the measured result.
NOTICE!
Loss of data
If there is no new entry for approx. 5 minutes, the current measure-
ment is discarded. The complete measuring procedure will have to be
repeated.
NOTE:
When the patient steps off the device, the hold value will continue to
be displayed. This enables you to attend to the patient before record-
ing the weight. To delete the hold value, press the
hold button.
