3. OPERATE THE SCALE AND WEIGH THE PATIENT
Three steps are necessary to weigh a patient:
a)
Viewing the SCALE's digital readout panel, select the appropriate readout in
kg
or
lbs
by pressing
the Left Button under the front panel of the scale. The units of
kg
or
lbs
will be displayed on the left
side of the digital SCALE panel.
b)
Assemble the SLING to the LIFTING BAR or STRETCHER SLING SYSTEM (including FABRIC
STRETCHER SLING) and zero out the weight of these parts. Depress the "Zero" button (right
button) momentarily. "0" will pan across the digital display for a few seconds then the display will
read "0.0".
c)
Remove the SLING or FABRIC STRETCHER SLING and then position the patient into the sling on
the bed and attach the SLING to the LIFTING BAR or the FABRIC STRETCHER SLING to the
STRETCHER SLING ARCH. Carefully lift the patient free of any support such as the bed or wheel
chair. Once the motion is stabilized press the "Operate" button (center button) to weigh the patient.
The digital readout will show an increasing number and the weight will be displayed in a short
period of time. The "Operate" button can be depressed several times while stabilized to repeat the
weight measurement. The weight will be displayed for about 60 seconds.
