How To | Eleganza 5 - Scale
Read on to learn more about how to operate the Eleganza 5 in bed Scale.
The Eleganza 5 has made weighing in-bed patients easy, with its in-bed scale.
Start the weighing process and erase all memory of the weight recorded:
- To erase all memory the patient must be out of bed.
- Press and hold the ZERO and WEIGHT CLEAR buttons simultaneously until the new patient icon appears and the countdown is complete, to reset the Eleganza 5 Scale.
- Press any green GO button to zero the scale, with the patient still out of bed.
- Check that standard linens and equipment are in place.
- Press and hold the ZERO button again on the iBoard panel of the Eleganza 5 until a beep is heard and the weight indicator flashes on the display.
- Release the button, then press again until a second beep is heard, and allow the patient on the bed.
- Wait for the stability indicator to become solid green to record the weight.
Attach or remove bed accessories without changing the patient's weight:
- Press the freeze button, until the hold icon appears on the display.
- Once the required accessories have been added or removed, the stability indicator should be solid green before pressing the freeze button again to display the original weight again.
Note: The Eleganza 5 can save up to nine different values of the patient's weight.
When saving the patient's weight for the present/current day:
- Press and hold the memory “M” button until a beep is heard. Note: The newest value will always be saved as M1 while other values will be moved further down with saving weight.
- Change the M1 value within the same day, press and hold the memory “M” button until the beep, release the button, and press again to confirm.
- To display the saved values, press the memory “M” button once for M1 or repeatedly for other saved values, if available.
Cancel zeroing, saving the weight, or displaying the saved value:
- Press the WEIGHT CLEAR button while the weight indicator flashes.
