HEIGHT MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Use caution when sliding height rod up and down. The rod should move
smoothly; do not move the rod in a jerking motion. Fold headpiece down when not in
use.
Note: Patients must be a minimum of 23-5/8" (60 cm) tall for the height to be accurately
measured.
1. With the headpiece in the folded down
position, slide the headpiece up or down to
the estimated height of the patient. Then
raise the headpiece into its horizontal
position. Note: For patients under 48.5" /
123 cm, slide the headpiece down the
pillar.
2. Position the patient facing the display
head. Ensure that the patient's posture is
upright, and that the patient's head is
straight and level. Slide the headpiece
down until it rests on the patient's head.
3. Determine the patient's height by reading
the value on the measuring strip nearest to
the line on the red indicator, as shown
below. For heights greater than 48.5" /
123 cm, the height measurement is read at
the red line on the pillar. For heights less
than 48.5" / 123 cm, the height
measurement is read at the red line on the
headpiece.
For heights greater than 48.5" / 123 cm
For heights less than 48.5" / 123 cm
