1. The scale will calculate the patient's weight. Depending on the movement of the patient
on the scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto the weight. Once a
weight has been displayed, while the patient is still on the scale, we recommend
performing a second weighing by pressing the REWEIGH button.
2. After the weight measurement has been taken and has been recorded, move the patient.
3. Press the ON / OFF button to turn the scale off.
Note : The scale will always default to the setting last used
Body Mass Index is another name for Quetelet Index, a formula that is a convenient and reliable
indicator of obesity. Note: The scale will not calculate BMI for a patient that is 24 pounds (12 kg) or
less. If a height is not entered for the patient within 30 seconds of pressing the BMI button, the scale will
return to the normal weighing mode.
1. After obtaining the patient's weight on the scale, press the BMI button while the scale is on.
The scale will prompt you to enter the patient's height. Use the keypad to enter the height.
Note: When weighing in pounds, the height is entered in ¼" increments. To increase the fractional height of the
patient, press "1" for ¼", "2" for ½" and "3" for ¾". When weighing in kilograms, the height must be entered in
1cm increments.
2. Once height is keyed in, press ENTER.
3. The display will show the patient's BMI (Body Mass Index).
