Body Mass Index (BMI)
The Body Mass Index is the ration between height and weight squared. The BMI is meanwhile
accepted world-wide – also by WHO (World Health Organization) – helping to evaluate the state of
nutrition as well as the state of health of a person. The result is a tolerance value.
As the exact body length is one essential value we recommend to measure the patient by using
together with your ADE scale the height measuring rod model MZ 10019.
Start the scale as already described and take the weight. Then press the
BMI key and use the
numeric key to indicate the height of the patient in cm. Confirm by using the ENTER key. The BMI is
calculated and displayed.
Evaluation of the Body Mass Index
BMI below 18
•
The patient is not showing enough weight. Control nutrition to put on weight.
BMI between 18 and 20
•
The patient is slightly under weighed. If he feels well there is no need for a change..
BMI between 20 and 25
•
The patient is in the range of normal weight.
BMI between 25 and 30
•
The patient is slightly overweighed. A reduction of weight is indicated or, is necessary if the
state of health is already affected (e.g. diabetes, high end blood pressure, heart diseases).
BMI over 30
•
Reduction of weight is imperative. Also to visit a doctor is highly recommended.
Tare functions
The
SEMI AUTO TARE key is used for taring objects which are weighed together with the patient
(e.g.cloths, shoes or any other objects). These objects need to be weighed first. After the weight is
indicated on the display enter he Semi Auto Tare key and the display comes back to zero (0.00´).
The weight of the previously weighed objects will now automatically be deducted when weighing the
patient and the value diplayed is only the weight of the patient.
By using the
Preset TARE key any requested value can be put under TARE by manually keying in
this selected tare value using the numeric keys. Confirmation is done by the ENTER key and can be
re-activated whenever requested. This function is used if you know the value of the weight to be tared
is a fixed and not a variable one.
Set zero
By using the
Zero key eventual irregularities occurred after start up the scale can be compensated by
setting the display back to zero.
Hold function
Press the
Hold key in case of unstable readout which might occur if for example the patient is not able
to stand still on the platform. The scale will hold the result displayed. After scale has been unloaded,
the result value is still readable and can be noted.
