The Seca Electronic Column Scales with BMI Function is an essential tool for hospitals and doctors' offices, designed to accurately assess the nutritional condition of patients. It features a BMI function that calculates the Body Mass Index by comparing the height and weight of a patient, providing critical information for patient care. The auto-HOLD function retains the weight measurement on the display after the patient steps off, allowing the caregiver to attend to the patient first before recording the weight. With the TARE function, any additional items can be excluded from the weight measurement. This scale is ideal for daily use with its transport castors for easy mobility, and it includes functions like TARE, auto-HOLD, BMI calculation, kg/lbs switch-over, and automatic switch-off. Optional accessories include measuring rods (seca 220 and seca 224), a power adapter (seca 447), and a switch-mode power adapter (seca 400).
