Introduction

The Healthweigh® Wheelchair Scale models are an electronic device designed to measure the weight of a wheelchair occupant who is unable to vacate their wheelchair. It may also function as a patient stand-on scale. It is designed as a floor-standing or floor-integrated platform whereby the known weight of the wheelchair is subtracted from the total measured weight to provide the weight of the wheelchair occupant. It is not designed to weight a bed/stretcher.
The scale models are very accessible due to the exceptionally wide ramps. Each scale is designed to provide accurate, reliable and repeatable weight measurements and has features that enable a fast and convenient weighing process. The scales are also designed with two heavy-duty rear wheels for easy portability. The design patented scales are multifunctional. Weight is automatically displayed. Then, after height is entered into the scale, the patient’s BMI is displayed.

Safety Definitions

• DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed.
• WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed.
• CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
• IMPORTANT: Indicates information about procedures that, if not observed, could result in damage to equipment or corruption to and loss of data.

Gene ral Safety
Do not operate or work on this equipment unless this manual has been read and all instructions are understood. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer for replacement manuals.

• WARNING: Failure to heed could result in serious injury or death.
• Do not use in the presence of flammable materials.
• Operating at other voltages and frequencies than specified could damage the equipment. Use only medical approved mains adapters compliant with EN60601-1 standard.
• Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
• Do not put this equipment next to or stacked on top of other equipment. This may result in malfunction. If such placement is unavoidable, ensure equipment is monitored regularly for correct operation.
• Do not use accessories, transducers or cables other than those specified or provided by manufacturer. This could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity leading resulting in malfunction (see Section 6.0 on page 22).
• Portable RF communications accessories (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 mm to the equipment or cables specified by the manufacturer. This may result in equipment performance degradation (see Section 6.0 on page 22).
• Ensure the equipment is located in a shielded location. Failure to do so may result in performance degradation, interference with other equipment or interference with radio services.
• This equipment has been tested for radiated RF immunity at selected frequencies. Using this equipment near equipment emitting other frequencies could result in improper operation (see Section 6.0 on page 22).
• CAUTION: To prevent injury, never leave the person being weighed unattended while on the scale.
• To prevent injury, do not transport the scale while a patient is on the scale.
• Make sure no load is on the scale before transporting the scale.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to violent shocks.
• The scales are for determining weight of persons in rooms intended for carrying out medical care. The scales are NOT intended to diagnose, prevent and monitor diseases. The scales are equipped with serial interface that can connect to the equipment compliant with EN60601-1 standard.
• Do not use scale for dynamic weighing.
• Don not leave a permanent load on the weighing plate. This can damage the scale.
• Be careful to avoid shock and overloading the scale in excess of the prescribed maximum load rating (MAX.) minus any tare weight that is already present.
• Never operate the scale in a hazardous location. The scale design is not explosion-proof. Attention should be paid that flammable mixture may also be formed from anesthetic means that contain oxygen or nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
• IMPORTANT: For accurate weighing, the scale must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
• For accurate weighing, verify proper operation according to the procedure described in this manual before each use.
• If the “LO Bat” indicator activates, for accurate weighing, recharge the battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible.
• To avoid cross contamination, clean the scale plate after each weighing. Avoid direct skin contact during weighing. Materials in the products have been tested and approved for the safe use by operator and patient.
• The scale purpose is to determine weight in the course of medical practice.
• Used as non-automatic scale, a person is to be positioned in the center of the scale plate. The weighing value can be read off after a stable weighing value has been obtained.
• All batteries included with Healthweigh products intended for sale in the EU market are classified as ‘Portable Batteries for General Use’ and comply with European Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.

4. Use UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the entire value. Pressing once will adjust by 0.5 cm. If you hold the key down it will keep increasing or decreasing the values.

5. Press ENTER to accept the values. BMI value shows on the display.

6. Pressing CLEAR to return to weighing mode. BMI indicator is off.
   NOTE: The last height value entered is saved until the Zero is displayed or negative weight is detected. At this point, the value returns to the default value.

Hold/Release Function

1. When the person is on the scale, press the HOLD\RELEASE key.
2. When the person steps off the scale the weight will remain the same.
3. The ZERO indicator will not turn on. At this stage the Zero button will not work. The only way to return to zero from here is to press the HOLD\RELEASE key once more.

communication
The scale has a communication protocol: ESC protocol. An ESC protocol is using the escape (0X1B or ASCII 27) to indicate that there is a command following. On the computer, side there must be a listener created by the vendor that will interpret this protocol. This listener must also take care of all the issues regarding data integrity, etc., to make sure that the data sent and received is valid.
Communication can be execute through either RS232 I/O port or USB I/O port. The communication parameters are:

• 9600 baud (selectable in the programming mode)
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No handshaking

For the USB connection, the USB driver installation will be on Windows® systems. The USB driver can be downloaded from the distributor and installation will be with the distributor’s guidance. The scale support EMR protocol, for addition information contact distributor.

Print Button
A long press will send data from both RS232 and USB ports. When data is transmitted out via a port the display flashes the word PRINT to acknowledge the data was sent.
