How can I calculate BMI?

BMI is recognised worldwide as the most common way to assess whether a person is overweight or not. It is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. To find out your BMI you can also use this BMI chart.

What are Class III Approved scales?

A Class III Approved scale like the M-100 is built, tested, verified, and calibrated in order to meet a specific standard. If a scale is used in the determination of mass in the practice of medicine for the purpose of monitoring, diagnosis, and medical treatment’ it must be Class III Approved. These scales are rigorously tested by an EU notified body to provide the user with assurance that it is accurate, reliable, and fit for purpose. Find out more here.

Additionally, guidelines have been set out to determine the weighing accuracy of the scale required for different medical applications. The M-100’s 50g accuracy makes it suitable for weighing children and weighing adults prior to critical treatment. Find out more about scale accuracies here.
