How does the weigh beam mechanism work on this scale?

The weigh beam uses sliding weights that can be adjusted along a calibrated bar to measure weight precisely. Simply move the weights until the beam balances to determine the patient’s weight.

Can the height rod measure in both inches and centimeters?

While specific units are not confirmed, height rods typically offer measurements in either inches or centimeters; check the product details or with the supplier for available options.

Is the handpost suitable for all patients including those needing extra support?

The handpost is intended to provide additional stability during weighing, which can benefit patients needing support. However, always assess individual patient needs for safety.
