Chair scales are essential when a patient needs to be seated when weighed. The M-250 is a Class III Approved medical chair scale with a lifting seat. Testing found that it reduces the effort required to lift a patient out of the chair by 70%, and the number of carers required to get the patient out of the chair can be reduced from two to one. 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 panel.
