Weigh the patient
The weigh system is used to obtain the weight and BMI of the patient. This
information must never be used alone for therapeutic purposes or to monitor the
patient's vital parameters.
1. Make sure that the patient is lying in the
center of the bed.
2. Press Scale on the GCI.
Out of respect for the patient, the display
of the weight disappears after 30 seconds. But it can be displayed permanently
(see “Setting the display/mask patient weight options” page 54).
This information can be sent to the duty nurse by a compatible Wi-Fi system.
Display a weight variance and the patient’s BMI
It is necessary to record the patient’s height in order to monitor the patient’s BMI.
1. Press Weight variance.
2. Press the patient size control and save the height in
cm.
3. The screen shows three values:
– Current Weight
– Saved Weight
– Weight variance, Size and BMI
–
4. Press Saving Current Weight and follow
the instruc
tions to save the weight in the
history.
5. Check the information and press Save to
confirm.
6. Once saved, the weight appears in the Saved
Weight field.
In the course of certain specific care operations
(e.g., dialysis), the difference in weight can be
displayed permanently (see “Setting the
display/mask patient weight options” page 54).
