M-652 Wheelchair Scales with Handrails

Marsden M-652 Wheelchair Scales with Handrails

The Marsden M-652 are Class III Approved digital wheelchair scales with a large, robust platform and sturdy handrails. The size of this wheelchair scale’s platform means it can accommodate almost any wheelchair, and two handrails provide invaluable support for frail or bariatric patients who wish to stand whilst being weighed. It has a high 300kg capacity and accuracy to 100g.

What are Class III Approved scales?

Scales that are Class III Approved are built, tested, verified, and calibrated in order to meet certain standards. According to the NAWI directive, a scale ‘used in the determination of mass in the practice of medicine for the purpose of monitoring, diagnosis, and medical treatment’ must be Class III Approved. To give the user assurance of accuracy and reliability, an EU notified body will rigorously test these scales.

How can you weigh someone in a wheelchair?

Wheelchair scales are a more permanent alternative to chair scales, bed scales, and hoist scales, and allow the patient to remain in their own wheelchair whilst being weighed.

Additionally, wheelchair scales like the M-652 have a Preset Tare/Tare function which means the weight of the wheelchair can be removed from the reading, leaving you with a true weight reading for just the patient.

Who uses the M-652?

The M-652’s fitted handles mean this scale can be used to weigh wheelchair patients and patients who are unsteady on their feet. With the indicator mounted to the handles, weight readings are easy to read and monitor by hospitals and care home staff. This scale is particularly useful in Renal Units, Outpatient areas, and where regular weight readings are required for disabled patients.

Why should I purchase the M-652 Wheelchair Scale with Handrails?

Choose the M-652 if you need a weighing scale that can weigh patients in their wheelchair, but can also be used to weigh patients who can stand with the support of a handrail.

This scale is ideal for use in hospitals, care homes, and rehabilitation centres.

The M-652 is a large one-piece unit with integrated low-profile ramps for easy wheelchair access. It has a 300kg capacity and an accuracy of 100g. It is compact and very easy to store.
