Intended Use Patient/Resident assessment We recommend that facilities establish regular assessment routines. Caregivers should assess each resident/patient according to the following criteria prior to use. The patient/resident´s weight must not exceed the safe working of the device on which it will be installed. If the patient/resident does not meet these criteria an alternative equipment/system shall be used.
This equipment must be used in accordance with these safety instructions. Anyone using this equipment must also have read and understood the instructions in these Instructions for Use (IFU). If there is anything you do not completely understand, ask your ArjoHuntleigh representative. The Scale is intended to be used with patient lifters to measure the weight of a patient who cannot stand on a scale. It is designed to be used indoors in hospitals, nursing homes, home care or other health care facilities. It must be operated by trained caregivers with adequate knowledge of the care environment, its common practices and procedures, and in accordance with the guidelines in the Instructions for Use (IFU). Caregivers shall continuously attend the resident/patient during the usage.
Installation requirements The equipment must be installed by appropriately trained personnel according to the IFU. The scale may also be pre-installed on the lifter.
Expected service life The expected service life or maximum period of useful life of this equipment is ten (10) years when subjected to preventive maintenance as specified in the ‘‘Care and Preventive Maintenance’’ section The Safe Working Load (SWL) or maximum of the IFU. The scale system has been designed capacity the scale will vary according to the device and tested to achieve up to 10000 cycles with its on which it will be installed. Refer to the IFU of the maximum capacity. The expected service life for specific product. consumables such as batteries is dependent upon The Scale system should only be used for the care and usage of the product concerned. purpose specified in the IFU. Any other use is prohibited.
Safety Instructions NOTE Do not touch the chair / stretcher / sling or the patient during the weighing procedure, since it can influence the weighting result.

Limit of Indication Max weight The maximum weight symbols appears when the patient weight exceeds the maximum weight capacity of the scale depending on product. (See Fig. 9)
Fig. 10
Minus weight (Below zero) Indication of weight below zero. This can occur if there is a weight on the scale before it’s powered on and then removed after the weighing. (See Fig. 10)

Fig. 11
Center of Zero
kg
Means there is zero weight on the scale / zero on the scale. (See Fig. 11) The deviation from zero is no more than ± 0.25% of the precision.
Dual Range (not for suspended scale)
Fig. 12
The dual range symbol indicates that the weight precision has been changed. This symbol will only appear on the pillar and foot scale. (See Fig. 12)
L/H
The precision range starts at 100 g ( 3.5 oz) and changes to 200 g (7 oz) at a certain weight depending on the product. Once the 200 g (7 oz) precision becomes active it will remain until the weight is back at 0.0 kg /lb. The weight precision will restart at 100 g (3.5 oz).
