Height Measurements
Note: A patient needs to be a minimum of 23 5/8” (600 mm) in height for the height to be
accurately measured.
1. Raise the headpiece above the patient’s head.
2. Position the patient against the height rod
3. Ensure that the patient’s posture is upright and the patient’s head is straight and level.
4. Push the headpiece down until it rests on the patient’s head.
Determine the patient’s height by reading the value on the measuring strip nearest to the
line on the indicator. (Please refer to picture)
