Weighing the Patient
1. Press the Scale icon located in the Navigation Menu of the home screen.
NOTE: If the patient has been weighed previously, the last recorded
weight with date and time will appear on the left side.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions. Remove drainage bags, equipment
and excess linen from the upper frame, siderails, and foot-end of the bed.
Select Weigh.
NOTE: Items not on the bed during zeroing will be included in the
patient’s weight.
3. Press OK and let go.
When the process is complete, you will hear a single beep and the current
weight in kgs will be displayed, with the date and time, and a variance
from the previous weight, if one was taken.
NOTE: Before accepting the weight, to see the weight in lbs, you can
press and hold the lbs square to momentarily display the weight in lbs.
4. Press Save to save the weight. You will hear a single beep confirming that
the weight has been saved. If you forget to save the weight, the bed will
remind you before you can select any other options.
NOTE: When saved, you can retrieve the weight from the main scale
screen that displays last date/time for weigh and zero.
If during the weigh process the bed is not in “Optimum Position”, you will
hear a triple beep and a message will appear on the screen.
The bed is “Not in Optimum Position” when:
• Head-of-bed is >35°
• Knees are raised >25°
• Foot angle is >10°
If the patient cannot tolerate having their position changed, press Continue
to weigh in this position.
NOTE: An icon will indicate that the patient was not in optimal position when
the weight was taken.
If the patient can be repositioned, press and hold the Adjust Bed button to
adjust the bed into the optimal position. After you hear the single beep, press
Continue.
WARNING: A patient cannot be weighed if:
• The patient is < 32 kgs (70 lbs) or >227 kgs (500 lbs).
• The patient is not centered in the bed.
• The patient is causing excessive bed movement.
