Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The Healthweigh® Handrail Scale is 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, providing the weight of the wheelchair occupant. It is not designed to weight a bed/stretcher. The scale is used to establish weight and height, as well as BMI (Body Mass Index). Communication is through serial and/or USB cable. The transmission is sent to a printer or PC with a click of a button. A simple and easy protocol allows a trouble-free interface to an EMR data base system.
i Manuals are available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems at www.ricelake.com/manuals Warranty information is available at www.ricelake.com/warranties
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.
General 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 19). 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 19). 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 19).

Healthweigh H251-10-2
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 onot 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 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.

3.8 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.

IMPORTANT: Dispose of batteries at appropriate waste collection centers at the end of their life cycle in accordance with local laws and regulations. Batteries and rechargeable batteries may contain harmful substances that should not be disposed of in household waste. Batteries may contain harmful substances including but not limited to: cadmium (Cd), lithium (Li), mercury (Hg) or lead (Pb). Users who dispose of batteries illegally shall face administrative sanctions as provided by law.
WARNING: Replacing the rechargeable battery should be performed by qualified service personnel.
4.3 Calibration Procedure
Calibration to be performed by authorized personnel only IMPORTANT: Scales with OIML Class III compliance have a seal to prevent any unauthorized person from performing calibration.

4.4 Troubleshooting
Refer to the following instructions to check and correct any failures before contacting service personnel.

Maintenance

Symptom

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

Scale does not turn on when Dead battery using rechargeable battery Faulty electrical outlet

Bad power supply

External object interfering with the scale

Weighing tray is not placed properly

Questionable weight/ Scale does not zero

Display did not show 0.0 lb/kg before weighing

Scale not placed on a stable surface

Scale is out of calibration

The display shows STOP Load on the scale exceeds the capacity

the display shows _____ Load is in under-load condition

The display shows LO Bat Rechargeable battery is low

Connect scale to power source Replace batteries Use a different outlet Replace adapter Check and remove all interference from the scale Place the tray in its proper place Remove patient, zero the scale and begin weighing process again
Place the scale on a stable surface and begin weighing process again Check weigh with known weight value Remove the excess weight and use the scale according to its limits Make sure the weighing tray is placed on the base Recharge the battery according to instructions
