Calculating Bmi - Health O Meter PROPLUS 2000KL Mode D'emploi

QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
1. The scale will calculate the patient's weight. Depending on the movement of the patient
on the scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto the weight. Once a
weight has been displayed, while the patient is still on the stretcher, we recommend
performing a second weighing by pressing the REWEIGH button.
2. After the weight measurement has been taken and has been recorded, lower the stretcher
and patient slowly back to their bed or other flat, stable surface:
A. Open the hydraulic pump control valve by turning the knob counterclockwise VERY
slowly, to control the descent.
B. Guide the patient on the stretcher carefully down to the bed or flat, stable surface.
3. Release the hanging loops from the stretcher hoops, once the patient is resting on the bed.
4. Press the ON / OFF button to turn the scale off.
1. After obtaining the patient's weight on the scale, press the BMI button while the scale is on.
The scale will prompt you to enter the patient's height. Use the keypad to enter the height.
Note: When weighing in pounds, the height is entered in ¼" increments. To increase the fractional
height of the patient, press "1" for ¼", "2" for ½" and "3" for ¾". When weighing in kilograms, the
height must be entered in 1cm increments.
2. Once height is keyed in, press ENTER.
3. The display will show the patient's BMI (Body Mass Index).
4. Press ENTER again to return to the normal weighing mode of the scale.
Note: The scale will not calculate BMI for a patient that is 24 pounds (12 kg) or less. If a height is not
entered for the patient within 30 seconds of pressing the BMI button, the scale will return to the normal
weighing mode.
