Weighing CAUTION!
Injury from incorrect position of the measuring flap
Injuries may result if the measuring flap is at patient height when
folded up.
► Ensure that the measuring flap is above patient height before the
patient steps onto the weighing platform.
CAUTION!
Incorrect measurement as a result of force shunt
If the patient is in contact with parts other than the weighing platform
during the weight measurement, measuring results will be incorrect.
► Ensure that the patient is in contact only with the weighing platform
during weight measurement.
1. Switch on the measuring station (➔ “Switching on the device”, page 28).
2. Ask the patient to step onto the weighing platform:
– Do not touch the measuring rod

3. Read off the measuring result.
Taring off additional weight (Tare) Use the Tare function to prevent an additional weight (e.g. a walking stick)
affecting the patient’s weight value.
CAUTION!

If an additional weight is in contact with the surface on which the
device is resting, measuring results will be incorrect.

platform.
