How an Olympic Smart Scale Averages
the Weight of an Active Baby
The Olympic Smart Scale uses a sensitive loadcell together with
proprietary digital signal processing techniques (DSP) to detect
the most accurate weight and motion of an infant. When
weight-force is applied to the tray, electronic signals from the
loadcell are processed by a series of electronic filters and a
microprocessor to detect motion and determine averaged weight.
To assure accuracy, design parameters for calculating averaged
weight were determined by weighing active babies. The software
program for weight-averaging was then verified by further
extensive testing in nurseries.
With its proprietary weight-averaging techniques, Olympic Smart
Scale can, typically, weigh a moving baby to an accuracy of one
gram.
EMI/EMC Compatibility
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
EMC limits for the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (EN 55011
Class A and EN 60601-1-2). These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical
medical installation.
The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these
instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in
the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference with other
devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
Increase the separation between the equipment.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the other device(s) is connected.
