FAQs

What is the maximum weight for a bariatric scale?

Bariatric scales are designed for heavier patients. They feature a large surface for the comfort of your patients and have a high load-bearing capacity which varies with each scale. Unlike other medical scales, bariatric scales offer accurate weight measurement for patients with a higher BMI helping you obtain accurate patient information for all types of people. The SECA 635 Class III Wireless Platform and Bariatric Scale features a weighing range of up to 300 kg.

What does the Breast-Milk-Intake-Function do?

Many of the SECA baby scales feature a Breast milk intake (BMIF) measurement functionality - determining how much milk the baby has consumed. This is so the weight of the baby recorded, before feeding, can be subtracted from the weight recorded after they have breast fed. This is all done at the touch of a button automatically.

What is the benefit of the integrated measuring rod?

The SECA 233 measuring rod is for the SECA 376 scales. It features an integrated head and foot positioner, turning scales into a complete weighing and measuring system. This means weighing and measuring can be completed in a single time-saving step.

What are medical scales?

Medical scales are weighing scales used in a medical environment. They are professional-grade and provide a high degree of accuracy and reliability to support medical professionals, such as GPs and nurses, to gain accurate weight measurements to monitor a patient’s health. They come in a variety of types as each is designed for a specific use, for example baby scales are made to help monitor a baby’s development and require a scale that can show small weight differences. On the other hand, bariatric scales are used to monitor the weight of someone with a heavier BMI where a standard medical scale may not be able to accurately measure due to weight capacity limits. There are also wheelchair scales, floor scales and column scales available.

What is a class III approved scale?

A Class III approved scale is a scale that has been approved by the NAWI (Non Automatic Weighing Instrument) directive. 

There are separate classes governing this - 1 to 4. Class III approvals include medical weighing machines.

Weighing scales to be used in a medical environment, such as hospital, clinic, GP surgery, care home, should always be Class III approved. Scales that are not Class III approved are not suitable for clinical use.

Which medical scales are the most accurate?

Class III approved medical scales are accurate and reliable and are likely to be more accurate than home scales.
