Display shows user and patient names or IDs for increased patient safety Data transmission controlled by touchscreen Safe weighing with a stable handraily Lightweight, sophisticated design and extremely robust thanks to steel handrail that is directly attached to the cast iron pedestal Large platform made of tested seca Bearclaw Glass® for absolute breakage resistance and perfect hygiene Convenient transport with extremely robust rubber wheels Optional panda bear facilitates measuring and weighing of children EMR-validated: transmit measured data directly to an electronic medical record system or printer
Key tips
- ·Mounting and securement hardware takes real fatigue from vibration and road shock - inspect it as carefully as the device itself.
- ·Post-call battery and function checks catch transport-induced faults that a scheduled PM would miss for months.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Calibration drift
HighSymptoms: Weight reading inaccurate or fails a known-weight check.
Root cause: Load cell drift or environmental settling.
Load cell / strain gauge failure
HighSymptoms: Erratic, zero, or no reading under load.
Root cause: Overload damage or connector corrosion.
Display fault
MediumSymptoms: Blank, flickering, or partial digit display.
Root cause: Display module or ribbon-cable failure.
Battery / power fault
MediumSymptoms: Won't power on, intermittent shutdown, low-battery indicator.
Root cause: Aged or depleted battery.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Post-call function and battery check
- ·Mounting / securement inspection
- ·Annual full PM and vibration-tolerance check
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Calibration drift
- Confirm the presentation - typically weight reading inaccurate or fails a known-weight check.
- Check the most likely cause first: load cell drift or environmental settling.
- Inspect the affected subsystem against the manufacturer's inspection checklist.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the load cell / strain gauge assembly per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.

- RECALL
It has been determined that the wheels on the baby scale cart can unexpectedly loosen and in the worst case, detach from the cart completely. If this occurs the cart can become unstable and tip over, potentially leading to the scale falling from the cart. If a baby is left unattended in a cart, the baby could fall off the scale and be subjected to several serious injuries.
