Reweigh
To reinitiate the weighing process, press REWEIGH. This will allow a new
measurement to be taken without the patient having to leave the platform.
BMI
With the held weight being displayed, press the BMI button to enter the height of
the patient. Adjust the value by using the
▲ or ▼ buttons.
NOTE: Select the
Height units by pressing the UNITS button to toggle between the height in inches
or centimeters. The scale will exit this mode if no buttons are pressed within 30
seconds.
Display Annunciators
The display annunciators will indicate the scale status.
Motion
When the scale senses motion, MOTION will be indicated. Once motion ceases,
a stable reading will be displayed.
Stable Hold
Indicates a stable weight has been achieved and held on the display. This
indicates an accurate weight has been achieved.
Note: Weights below 4.5
pounds will not be held.
Average Hold
Indicates that the weight held on the display is a result of averaging several
weights due to excessive motion on the scale.
Note: Weights below 4.5 pounds
will not be held. The Average Hold weight may be slightly less accurate than a
Stable Hold weight.
Displaying an Average Hold weight instead of a Stable Hold weight will speed the
weighment process for patients that are not able to remain still. The Average
Hold weight will differ from the patient’s actual weight based upon the severity of
the motion caused by the patient while on the scale. Although this weight may be
less accurate than a Stable Hold weight, the deviation from the patient’s actual
weight will be minimal.
The time required for the Average Hold to engage is based upon the Average
Aperture parameter. See the Parameter Setup section for configuration
instructions.
