SCALE SYSTEMS
There are two scale systems available for the bed (see the images below). Scale System
A
has an
accuracy of 0.99 kg (2.2 lb) or 1% of the patient weight, whichever is greater. Scale System
B
has an
accuracy of 1.0 kg. The operating range for both scale systems is 0 kg to 454 kg (0 lb to 1000 lb). The
display and controls for the scale systems are on the flip-up caregiver control pod on the intermediate
siderails.
Refer to the images and page numbers shown below to determine which instructions apply to your
scale system:
NOTE:
Everything
on or attached to the bed will be
included in the scale reading
. This includes items on the
headboard, footboard, siderails, IV poles, and drainage bag/restraint holders.
