SP-Scale SPM250 Chair Scale: Dignified Weighing for Frail Patients
Weighing elderly, frail, or bariatric patients who cannot safely stand requires specialized, compassionate equipment. The SPM250 chair scale is the ideal diagnostic instrument for retirement homes, rehabilitation centers, and high-traffic clinical wards. By bringing the scale directly to the patient rather than forcing the patient to walk to a weighing room, the SP-Scale SPM250 drastically improves clinic workflow while maximizing patient safety and dignity.
Ergonomic and Safe Patient Transfers
Transfers from a bed to a scale are high-risk moments. The SPM250 minimizes this risk with two completely foldable armrests and footrests, allowing for barrier-free side transfers. The comfortable, ergonomically optimized seat provides secure support. Crucially, the seating surface, footrests, and armrests are designed in a clearly contrasting black color against the white frame; this visual distinction is highly recommended for use with dementia patients who may struggle with spatial awareness.
Advanced Medical Functions
Patients who are weak or suffering from tremors often cannot sit completely still. The SPM250 incorporates an advanced Dynamic Hold Function. This feature automatically calculates an average weight and “freezes” it on the 25mm LCD display, allowing nursing staff to focus entirely on the patient before logging the data. Furthermore, an integrated BMI Function allows doctors to quickly assess nutritional status and track surplus weight or undernourishment.
Mobility and Compliance
The chair scale glides smoothly over door thresholds and elevator gaps thanks to its large-diameter steerable rollers, which feature robust locking brakes for absolute stability during weighing. It is fully CE, OIML Class M, and MDD certified. Learn more about clinical safety devices at the European Commission on Public Health.
