Traditionally, GP surgeries have used mechanical floor scales, These dial scales can still be seen in use today; however, they are usually only Class IIII and will generally be accurate to 1kg. With a 200g (up to 100kg) accuracy, the digital M-550 is up to 5 times more accurate than traditional mechanical scales. The NAWI directive states all scales ‘used in the determination of mass in the practice of medicine for the purpose of monitoring, diagnosis and medical treatment’ must be Class III approved. Therefore, not only does the M-550 weigh to a greater level of accuracy than traditional mechanical GP scales, it also has a more suitable level of approval for professional medical use. Who uses the M-550? The M-550’s high accuracy means this floor scale is ideal for GP surgeries and pharmacies. GPs like the larger base which makes it easier to weigh more frail patients and those less steady on their feet. The M-550 is also popular as a precision bathroom scale for home users wanting medically approved accuracy at an affordable price. Why should I choose the M-550? If you need an affordable, professional weighing scale that meets minimum requirements for medical use, choose the M-550.
