There are many different kinds of scales in use today from small scales used to weight your foods at the supermarket through to large industrial scales used to weight equipment at a local manufacturing plant.

These scales are extremely important for many different reasons and it is always important to keep these scales accurate. If not, you do need to contact local scale repair services. These facilities are able to calibrate the scales and ensure everything is functioning properly. Although this is desirable for home scales, this is extremely important for all industrial scales and SECA scales calibration, which is a medical scale calibration, used to measure babies and other individuals who are not able to step on a standards scale themselves.

Avoid Scale Repair Services

To avoid scale repair services, you need to regularly test the scale to make sure it is functioning properly. In order to do this, you need to have a weighed object in which you know what the exact weight is. You can use a weight purchased from a local sporting goods store or for larger floor scales, a heavy object with the printed weight on it. Make sure the object is heavy enough to be measured by the scale as some scales do require a minimum weight present.

When using smaller scales such as a SECA scales or laboratory analytical scales you can use small gram weights, which you can place on the scale to receive an exact measurement. Once the weight is on the scale you are able to adjust the current measurement of the scale to ensure the equipment is properly calibrated.

For home scales, you do not need to perform this calibration process very often, but for larger floor scales and laboratory analytical scales, where a slightly off scale may possibly be fatal, you need to perform this task at least once a week, if not before the start of every day, just to make sure the scale is always functioning correctly.

If the scale does fall into disrepair, and you don’t want to go out and purchase another, costly, it is important to contact a professional scale repair facility. Here, an individual is able to come out and inspect your scale, then perform any routine maintenance on the equipment in order to make sure it is functioning correctly. Once the scale repair technician has taken care of the equipment, you are able to again perform the calibration process yourself on the desired schedule.

Performing these actions are going to help you avoid any costly scale repair errors in the future, which in turn is going to cost your business additional money, which comes out of your bottom line and reduce your total profits.

Weighing Patients with Accurate Calibrated Scales

By: Adrian

Properly Weighing Patients

For record keeping and to properly assess a patients overall health, it is important to weigh the patient each and every time they come to your office or clinic. Keeping an accurate measure on weight fluctuations can help shed light on any condition the patient may be afflicted with. Using calibrated scales is the easiest way to maintain the needed accuracy. This article will cover a series of simple steps to make sure that you are getting the most accurate reading possible. Before proceeding to the steps, let us make sure we are all using the same equipment. What this article describes is weighing a patient on non-digital calibrated scales, so please ensure this is the mechanism you have present or have access to.

How to weigh patients with calibrated scales

First, have the patient remove their coat, shoes, handbags, or any other heavy items on their person.

Second, have the patient step on to the scale. Using your best professional judgment, estimate the weight range you expect the patient to fall into. Move the bottom slide over until it clicks into the range you have selected.

Third, note how the balance on the far upper right of the equipment is reacting. If it is perfectly still and lies level, then you have accurately weighed the patient. However, if it is not, there are two ways to proceed.

-Option one: If balance is leaning down, the weight is too heavy. This means that you must move the bottom slide back one category. After doing this, you would proceed to the next step listed below.

-Option two: If the balance is leaning up, the weight is not heavy enough. Now you must move the top, smaller, slide to the right until the balance becomes level.

The final step is to always move both slides back to the “zero” position after the patient steps off. This prevents interference with the accuracy of future readings.

The process of weighing a patient with calibrated scales is a relatively simple one that will quickly become second nature. Keep in mind that a person’s weight may fluctuate by a few kilograms throughout the day, so small changes in weight should not be of concern. However, it is important to note if the patient is having large fluctuations in weight to maintain accurate diagnostics. Additionally, it is important to maintain the proper calibration on your scales, so have the equipment checked periodically.
