OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT)
BMI Function
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a ratio between a person's weight and height and interpreted as a BMI
score. This BMI score is then used as a tool to categorize a patient as underweight, normal,
overweight, obese or morbidly obese.
Note: The scale will not calculate BMI for a patient that is 24 pounds (12 kg) or less.
Note: If a height is not entered for the patient within 30 seconds of pressing the BMI button, the
scale will return to the normal weighing mode.
1. Make sure there is no object on the weighing platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale on.
3. Wait until the "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appears on the display.
4. Ask the patient to step on the scale. The scale will begin to display weight information and will
lock on the patient's weight when the stable weight of the patient is determined. Depending on
the movement of the patient on the scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto
the weight.
5. After obtaining the patient's weight on the scale, press the BMI button while the scale is on.
6. The display will show 65" (in LB mode) or 150cm (in KG mode). Use the keypad ▲ and ▼
buttons to enter the patient's height. To determine the patient's height, follow the height
measuring instructions on pages 17 and 18.
Note: When weighing in pounds, the height is displayed in inches. When weighing in kilograms,
the height is displayed in centimeters.
7. Once height is keyed in, press the ENTER button.
8. The display will show the patient's BMI.
9. Press the CLEAR button to return to the normal weighing mode of the scale.
