Body mass index relates height and weight to one
another and consequently allows more accurate infor-
mation than ideal Broca weight, for example. A toler-
ance range is quoted which is considered ideal for
health.
The device has three memories for height. You can
enter and save the height of specific patients. Alterna-
tively, you can save different start values and thus set a
patient's actual height more quickly.
1. Ensure that the scale has no load.
2. Switch on the scale.

The height entered is saved and will be available
again for the next BMI calculation.

entitled "Weighing a patient".
The patient's BMI is automatically calculated and
displayed.

NOTE
Make a note of the memory number so that you
can call up this height for another BMI calcula-
tion.
