Preventing injuries and infections NOTICE!
Incorrect measurement due to force shunts
If accessories (e.g. power supply pouch) or pieces of clothing become
trapped between the seat and the base frame, the weight will not be
measured correctly.
If the patient's feet are not on the footrests, the weight measurement
will be incorrect.
► Ensure that there are no objects between the seat and the base
frame.
► Ensure that the armrests are folded down during the weighing pro-
cess.
► Make sure that the patient's feet are placed on the footrests during
the weighing process.

respective section in this document.
