Patient weighing system
The controls for the weighing system are located on the foot end split side
rails.

show other information, e.g. bed section angles.
Weigh: this button is used to calculate and display the current patient
weight.
Auto Compensation (tare): this button allows items to be added to or
removed from the bed without affecting the indicated patient weight.

set up and before a new patient uses the bed.
Select Weight Display: this button allows the patient weight to be displayed
rounded to the nearest 100g or 500g.

The weighing system should only be used by staff trained in the correct use of the
weighing function.
The weighing system should only be used in closely supervised environments, where
