INTENDED USE
The measuring rod is used primarily in hospitals, medical practices and inpatient care facilities in accordance with national regulations. The measuring rod is for conventional determination of height and early detection of growth disorders; it also assists the physician supervising treatment in making a diagnosis or deciding on a course of treatment. To make an accurate diagnosis, however, other specific examinations have to be ordered by the physician and their results taken into account, in addition to determining a height value.
