Marsden M-225 Entry-Level Chair Scale with BMI and BSA

Having a good overview of your patient's body composition is essential for prescribing the best possible course of treatment, but obtaining these statistics is often difficult with patients with reduced mobility, especially if they're having trouble standing. The Marsden M-225 Entry-Level Chair Scale with BMI and BSA is designed for seated weigh-ins, and is one of the first chair medical scales on the market that also offers body surface area (BSA) calculations.

What Is the Weight Capacity of the M-225 Scale?

The Marsden M-225 Entry-Level Chair Scale has a maximum capacity of 250kg (39 stone), and accuracy to 100 grams, which makes it perfect for weighing most patients with restricted mobility. Moreover, the scale also calculates the patient's body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA).

Who Can Use the M-225 Entry-Level Chair Scale?

Its portability, high maximum capacity, and medical-grade accuracy make the Marsden M-225 Entry-Level Chair Scale suitable for all settings that include weighing patients with restricted mobility. Among many other healthcare environments, this includes:

  • Hospitals
  • GP practices
  • Care homes
  • General and surgical wards

What Are the Dimensions of the M-225?

The dimensions of the seat are 40 x 38cm, which should make it suitable for most patients. The dimensions of the display area are 174 x 107.6 x 50mm, ensuring the results are easy to read.

Is the M-225 Scale Battery Powered?

The M-225 can also be powered from the mains, but for ultimate flexibility the scale runs on six AA batteries. From full charge, these will last up to 180 hours, which translates to over 9000 weigh-ins.

Why Is It Important to Know Your Patient's BSA?

Body surface area, or BSA, is the calculated surface area of the human body. It is commonly used by NHS DEXA scanners to help calculate body composition and dosages for anti-cancer agents.

BSA has been regarded as "the most reliable method of calculating drug dosages [...] for nearly 90 years", according to the British National Formulary. Marsden are one of the most respected manufacturers of medical scales that offer BSA calculations.

What Is a Class III Approved Scale?

The Marsden M-225 Entry-Level Chair Scale is a Class III approved scale, which means that it is built, tested, verified and calibrated in order to meet certain standards. According to NAWI Directive 2014/31/EU, all Class III approved scales must be suitable for use "in the determination of mass in the practice of medicine for the purpose of monitoring, diagnosis and medical treatment".

The 100g accuracy makes the M-225 Scale more than capable of assisting in medical diagnosis, as well as measuring weight for critical treatment, for example dialysis. A comfortable seat ensures stress-free weighing of patients that cannot stand.
