What is the M-930?

The Marsden M-930 pit mounted bed scale is perfect for weighing bedridden patients or patients on trolleys as they enter a hospital.

It is ideal for hospitals and accident and emergency departments.

What is a Class III Approved scale?

Class III Approved scales are built, tested, verified and calibrated in order to meet a specific standard to ensure accuracy when weighing for medical purposes. The NAWI directive states that Class III scales must be used for ‘the determination of mass in the practice of medicine for the purpose of monitoring, diagnosis and medical treatment’.

An EU notified body will rigorously test approved scales to ensure they are delivering accurate and reliable readings.

Who uses the M-930?

The M-930 is perfect for hospital departments, such as A&E, where the weight of a patient in a bed or trolley needs to be taken quickly. The scale is designed to be set into the ground meaning it can be flush with the floor - no ramps are required.

Why should I choose the M-930?

Floor mounted weighing scales are designed to be sunk into the ground. This means a patient can be weighed in a bed or trolley as they are moved into the hospital building or ward. Tare/Preset Tare can be used to remove the weight of the bed from the reading and get an accurate weight reading for the patient. The M-930 comes with a pit frame for positioning and supporting the scale within a pre-prepared pit.

The M-930 has a choice of capacity and graduation options: either 600kg x 0.2kg or 1500kg x 0.5kg. A choice of dimensions are also available.

The scale has a Hold, BMI and Tare function. The Tare function enables the weight of a bed to be deducted, giving an accurate patient weight.

The indicator can be mounted or a column or a wall. By adding the optional printer, a copy of the patient’s weight can be filed without the risk of human error.

The M-930 is backed by the Marsden 4 Year Warranty - double the industry standard for medical scales.
