Once the patient or resident is seated, before observing the weight reading, ensure both feet are placed on the footrests. With seat base fully lowered, the patient in the seat and feet are on footrests, the weight reading can be observed. Once the weight reading has been taken, and whilst the patient is being guided out of the seat, feet must be taken off the footrests, footrests rotated out of the way and feet placed firmly on the ground.
Brakes must be applied on wheels before using the scale. The seat must be fully lowered for a weight reading to be taken. Please ensure that use of the M-250 meets your moving and handling/patient safety guidelines. The M-250’s actuator (lifting/lowering mechanism) has a duty cycle. This means that the lifting/lowering mechanism can be used continuously for two minutes followed by 18 minutes of inactivity.
