The M-250 is a Class III Approved medical chair scale with a lifting seat. This means less effort is required when getting a patient into, and out of, the chair. The M-250 helps reduce the effort required by staff and in most cases only one member of staff will be required whereas it is usally two members of staff. The capacity is 250kg.
A small handheld remote control is used to lift and lower the seat base. The movement of the ergonomically-designed seat is slow and smooth to ensure ultimate comfort for the patient. Once the seat is at its lowest position, with the patient seated, an accurate weight reading will be displayed on the indicator. The remote control can then be used to raise the seat, helping the patient up to standing position.
Why is a raising seat important?
Chair scales are essential when a patient or resident needs to be seated when weighed, especially for those with limited mobility. However the greatest challenge for staff is getting the person into and out of the chair. Depending on how mobile the patient is, this can demand a lot of effort, and, in extreme cases, there could be risk of back injury.
The M-250 changes this. It provides a better user experience by taking most of the strain of getting the patient into and out of the chair.
