Clinical Scale

A Digital Weighing Scale With Height is a Class I medical device combining precision electronic load cell technology (accuracy ±0.1 kg, capacity 200-500 kg) with integrated mechanical or electronic height measurement (range 60-220 cm, accuracy ±2-5 mm) for comprehensive anthropometric assessment in clinical settings. Features include backlit LCD display with automatic BMI calculation, tare function for wheelchair weighing, hold function for unsteady patients, data output options (USB/Bluetooth/RS-232) for EMR integration, locking casters for mobility, and AC power with battery backup. Primary clinical applications include comprehensive anthropometric assessment in primary care, pediatric growth monitoring, adult obesity screening and weight management, bariatric surgery pre- and post-operative assessment, geriatric nutritional status monitoring, oncology chemotherapy dosing (BSA calculation), and clinical research. Critical safety considerations include locking casters before patient use, verifying zero before each measurement, providing step assistance for mobility-impaired patients, staying within weight capacity, and regular calibration verification with certified test weights. Essential digital equipment for efficient, accurate, and documented anthropometric assessment in modern clinical practice.
