Scale Systems
Compella™ Bariatric Bed System Instructions for Use (178951 REV 6) 43
SCALE SYSTEMS
There are two scale systems available for the bed (see the images below). Scale System A has an
accuracy of 0.99 kg (2.2 lb) or 1% of the patient weight, whichever is greater. Scale System B has an
accuracy of 1.0 kg. The operating range for both scale systems is 0 kg to 454 kg (0 lb to 1000 lb). The
display and controls for the scale systems are on the flip-up caregiver control pod on the intermediate
siderails.
Refer to the images and page numbers shown below to determine which instructions apply to your
scale system:
Everything on or attached to the bed will be included in the scale reading. This includes items on the
headboard, footboard, siderails, IV poles, and drainage bag/restraint holders.
SCALE “A” DISPLAY
The scale system continuously weighs the patient; however, the weight does not continuously show on
the display. You must press the Weigh control to view the patient’s weight.
Unless you activate a scale function, the display continuously shows the head angle of the bed.
Bed Setup
Warning—Zero the scale before a new patient is put on the bed. Make sure to include standard linens
on the bed during the zero process. Failure to do so could cause an inaccurate weight reading; patient
injury could occur.
Refer to page 43. Refer to page 45.
