Height And Weight Scale

An Analogue Weighing Scale With height is a Class I medical device combining a mechanical beam scale (balance beam with sliding poises, accuracy ±0.1 kg, capacity 140-300 kg) with an integrated telescoping or folding height rod (range 60-200 cm, graduation 1 mm) for comprehensive anthropometric assessment without batteries or electronics. Features include heavy-gauge steel platform (50-70 cm × 40-50 cm) with non-slip surface, sliding counterweights (large for increments, small for fine measurement), zero adjustment mechanism, locking casters for mobility, and durable enamel or powder-coated finish. Primary clinical applications include comprehensive anthropometric assessment in resource-limited clinics, pediatric growth monitoring in community health centers, adult obesity screening and BMI calculation, geriatric nutritional assessment in long-term care, preoperative assessment in ambulatory surgery centers, school health screening programs, and developing world/humanitarian aid settings. Critical safety considerations include verifying zero balance before each use, locking casters before patient steps on, ensuring patient stands still without support, providing step assistance for mobility-impaired patients, and cleaning platform and height rod between patients. Essential durable, battery-free equipment for comprehensive weight and height measurement in clinical settings.
