Marsden M-610 Wheelchair Weigh Beams

How do portable wheelchair scales work?

Portable wheelchair scales are perfect for use in the community, but have also found their place in hospitals and care homes. Instead of wheelchair users coming to the scale, they can easily be taken to them instead.

When a patient is ready be weighed, the two beams are placed on the floor the correct distance apart for the wheelchair wheels, and the scale switched on. The patient can then be pushed onto the scale and the weight reading will register on the indicator display.

You can remove the weight of the wheelchair, meaning only the patient’s weight is displayed on the indicator, by using the Tare/Preset Tare function.

What is a Class III Approved scale?

Class III Approved scales are built, tested, verified and calibrated in order to meet certain standards. If a scale is used in the determination of mass in the practice of medicine for the purpose of monitoring, diagnosis and medical treatment’ it must be Class III Approved. To give the user assurance of accuracy and reliability, an EU notified body will test Approved scales rigorously.

Additionally, the M-610 is MDD Approved, meaning it meets strict safety requirements enforced (in the UK) by Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The Medical Devices Directive (MDD 93/42/EEC) is one of three directives that cover all medical equipment intended to be used to diagnose, prevent, monitor or treat.

Who uses the M-610?

The M-610’s portability makes it ideal for care homes, hospitals and for weighing wheelchairs at home. It has also been a popular choice for community nurses and health visitors for weighing disabled patients.
