The mechanical seca flat dial scale is mainly used in
hospitals, medical practices and inpatient care facilities
in accordance with national regulations.
The scale is for conventional determination of weight
and establishment of general state of nutrition; it assists
the physician supervising treatment in making a
diagnosis or deciding on a course of treatment.
To make an accurate diagnosis, however, other
specific examinations have to be ordered by the
physician and their results taken into account, in
addition to determining a weight value.
With a mechanical dial scale weight is calculated via a
load lever system.
Before weighing takes place, the zero point can be
manually reset each time with the adjusting wheel.
Calibrated scales are supplied with a kg scale.
Uncalibrated scales are supplied with a kg, lbs, kg/lbs
or a kg/sts scale depending on the model.
The device may only be operated by healthcare
professionals.
