What is a Class III Approved scale?

All Class III Approved medical scales undergo rigorous testing by an EU notified body to ensure reliability and accuracy and repeatability of readings.

How can I accurately weigh bedridden patients?

If a patient is bedbound, obtaining a weight reading can be difficult. However, an accurate weight reading can be vital for administering the correct drug dosages or treatment.

Simply place the four weighing pads next to each wheel, switch on the scale and roll the bed onto the pads. For a truly accurate weight reading for the patient, best practice is removing the weight of the bed from the reading by using the Tare/Preset Tare functions.

An additional benefit of the M-950 is that the trolley allows you to move the scale between rooms and wards easily, raking the scale to the patient rather than the other way around. The M-950 can also be purchased with an optional carry case to transport the pads and indicator, for weighing in the community.
