M-653 Wheelchair Scale with Handrail

Marsden M-653 Wheelchair Scale with Handrail

The Marsden M-653 are Class III Approved wheelchair scales for weighing patients who are unable to stand. The large weighing platform can accommodate almost any wheelchair, and a single handrail provides support for those who wish to stand. For portability and storage, the handrail folds in when the scale is not in use.

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?

With wheelchair scales, a patient can remain in their own wheelchair - where they feel comfortable. The M-653 makes weighing a patient in their wheelchair easy, since it can accommodate almost any type of wheelchair.

Simply switch the scale on, and push the patient onto the scale. Preset Tare/Tare can be used to remove the weight of the wheelchair from the display, leaving only the weight of the patient on the screen of the indicator.

Who uses the M-653?

With a large base suitable for almost any size of wheelchair and a capacity of 300kg, this scale is ideal for weighing wheelchair patients in hospital and care home environments. The fold-down handrail means this scale is portable and can be moved between hospital wards and rooms of a care home. Particularly, this scale is ideal for Renal Units, Outpatient areas, and where regular weight readings are required for disabled patients.

Why should I choose the M-653?

Choose the M-653 if you need to weigh patients who use a wheelchair or patients who wish to stand but need support. It is perfect for hospitals, care homes, and rehabilitation centres.

The scale provides accurate weight readings to 100g and has a 300kg capacity. BMI can be calculated by inputting the patient’s height. The indicator is powered by an internal rechargeable battery for extra portability and flexibility, and the handrail is hinged meaning it can be folded in when the scale is not in use.

A printer is available as an optional extra, so you can provide patients with a printed record of their weight, and the date and time the readings were taken.

The platform surface of these wheelchair scales is robust and long-lasting - the M-653 is built to withstand years of regular use.

M-653 wheelchair scales can be purchased with Bluetooth or Wifi connectivity - allowing instant, seamless weight and BMI data transfer to central systems and databases.
