Physician Scale Health o meter 349KLX 400 lb Capacity 0.2 lb

Description

Product Overview

The Health o meter 349KLX physician scale is engineered for clinical environments where accuracy, reliability, and ease of use are paramount. With a maximum capacity of 400 lb and a resolution of 0.2 lb, the device delivers consistent measurements that meet the stringent standards of medical practice. The platform measures 12 by 12.5 inches, providing a stable surface for patients of varying sizes while maintaining a low profile that fits comfortably on most examination tables or countertops. Constructed from high‑impact polymer, the scale resists scratches, dents, and the wear typical of busy healthcare settings. The digital display uses large, backlit characters that remain legible under bright examination lights, and the intuitive interface requires only a single button press to power on, zero‑calibrate, and display weight. Powered by six AA batteries, the scale operates without the need for a wall outlet, offering flexibility for mobile clinics, home visits, or temporary setups. The device complies with industry safety standards and has been validated for use in physician offices, hospitals, and outpatient facilities.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of clinical scenarios, the 349KLX excels in routine patient examinations, bariatric assessments, and pediatric weight tracking. Its precise 0.2 lb resolution enables physicians to monitor subtle weight changes that may indicate disease progression or treatment response. The compact footprint allows the scale to be positioned beside examination chairs, in exam rooms, or in portable health kits for home health professionals. Battery operation ensures uninterrupted performance during power outages or in locations lacking reliable electricity. The scale’s quick response time—displaying weight within seconds—minimizes patient wait time and streamlines workflow. It is also suitable for use in research settings where consistent, repeatable measurements are essential. The platform’s non‑slip surface reduces the risk of patient movement during weighing, enhancing safety and measurement accuracy.
