Health o meter 522 Digital Pediatric Tray Scale

Yes, the Health o meter 522 Digital Pediatric Tray Scale is designed for measuring newborns, infants, and toddlers.

This scale offers a robust capacity, allowing it to weigh patients up to 50 lb (23 kg). This wide range makes it suitable for various stages of early childhood.

Key features supporting its use with active subjects include:

• A secure tray platform (24.1” x 14.5”).
• Integrated Motion Detection technology, which ensures precise readings despite patient movement.

It is ideal for high-frequency use in clinical settings such as nurseries, delivery rooms, and pediatric practices.

The maximum weighing capacity of the Health o meter 522 Digital Pediatric Tray Scale is 50 lb (23 kg). This capacity is designed to accurately measure newborns, infants, and toddlers in clinical settings.

Key features supporting measurement accuracy include:

• High Visibility: The display head is elevated 17 inches above the scale base for an unobstructed view.
• Motion Detection: This technology ensures stable and reliable readings by compensating for movement, a crucial feature when weighing active subjects.

Yes, the Health o meter 522 scale is specifically engineered for high visibility in busy clinical environments. This is achieved through two design elements:

• Large Display: It utilizes a clear 1-inch (25 mm) LCD display for easy viewing.
• Elevated Positioning: The display head is strategically positioned 17 inches above the scale base, ensuring the operator has an unobstructed view of the measurement readings at all times.

Yes, the Health o meter 522 Digital Pediatric Tray Scale comes with 6 AA batteries included to power the unit. For continuous power, an optional adapter (#ADPT31) is also available.

The Health o meter 522 features a secure, wide tray platform designed to ensure patient comfort and safety while accommodating newborns, infants, and toddlers.

The precise dimensions of the tray are:

• Length: 24.1 inches (613 mm)
• Width: 14.5 inches (368 mm)
• Depth: 2.6 inches (67 mm)

This substantial size also helps stabilize the patient, supporting the scale’s Motion Detection feature for the most accurate readings possible, even if the infant is moving.

Yes, the Health o meter 522 scale features specialized Motion Detection technology, ensuring highly accurate readings even if the newborn or infant is actively moving.

This technology is designed to enhance clinical reliability by:

• Compensating for Subject Movement: It dynamically stabilizes the measurement despite shifting or kicking, providing a consistent and true weight.
• Securing the Reading: The Hold/Release function can lock the stable weight for 30 to 60 seconds, simplifying data recording.
• Streamlining Measurements: Features like Tare and Pre-tare are available, allowing clinical staff to easily zero out the weight of blankets or diapers.

Yes, the Health o meter 522 Digital Pediatric Tray Scale is designed with the capability to interface with computer and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems.

This functionality is available through optional Pelstar wireless technology.

Yes, the Health o meter 522 Digital Pediatric Tray Scale is specifically engineered with features that maximize speed and efficiency in clinical environments:

• Accurate Readings Despite Movement: The advanced Motion Detection technology stabilizes readings quickly, ensuring accurate weight capture even if the infant is moving, which saves staff time.
• Unobstructed Visibility: The large 1” (25 mm) LCD display head is positioned 17 inches above the scale base, offering an immediate and clear view for the operator.
• Comprehensive Time-Saving Functions: Essential functions like Tare (to subtract blankets/linens), Hold/Release, Reweigh, Recall, and Auto-weight Hold (for 30 to 60 seconds) streamline the weighing process and minimize manual steps.
• EMR Connectivity: The unit offers the ability to interface with computer/EMR systems via optional Pelstar wireless technology, enabling seamless data transfer and reducing manual charting errors.
• Combined Measurements: Select models (such as 522KL and 522KG) include an integrated measuring tape (0 to 23” / 0 to 58 cm), and the scale supports optional height rods for efficiently performing both length and weight assessments in one location.

Yes, the Health o meter 522 is a versatile system that provides comprehensive length measurement capabilities, which vary depending on the chosen configuration:

• Integrated Measuring Tape: Standard models (522KL and 522KG) include a measuring tape built directly into the tray platform for immediate length checks.
  • Range: 0 to 23 inches (0 to 58 cm).
• Optional Mechanical Height Rod: Available on specific models, this rod offers a wider measurement range with high resolution.
  • Range: 3 inches to 39 inches (7 cm to 100 cm).
  • Resolution: 1/16 inch (1 mm).
• Optional Digital Height Rod: Available for precise, electronic length measurement on certain configurations.
  • Range: 13.75 inches to 31.5 inches (35 cm to 80 cm).

The scale is designed for versatile use, primarily operating on battery power, and the AC adapter is an optional accessory:

• The scale does not include the AC adapter by default.
• It is powered by 6 AA batteries, which are included with the unit for immediate use.
• If you require continuous power, the optional AC adapter (Model #ADPT31) can be purchased separately.
