OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
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.
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until 0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appear on the display then assist the patient onto the
scale. "LOCK" will appear and flash on the display along with a weight
measurement. When a stable weight is determined "LOCK" will stay displayed along
with the patient's weight. Depending on the movement of the patient on the scale, it
may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto the weight.
Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout
the entire weighing event.
3. After obtaining the patient's weight and with the patient remaining on the scale,
press the BMI button.
4. The display will show 65.0" (in LB mode) or 150.0 cm (in KG mode). Use the
keypad ▲ and ▼ buttons to enter the patient's height in inches if weighing in LB or
centimeters if weighing in KG.
5. Once height is keyed in, press the ENTER button.
6. The display will show the patient's BMI.
7. Press the CLEAR button to return to the weighing mode.
