Determining and rating
body mass index (BMI)
Body mass index relates height and weight to one
another and consequently allows more accurate infor-
mation than ideal Broca weight, for example. A toler-
ance range is quoted which is considered ideal for
health.
The device has three memories for height. You can
enter and save the height of specific patients. Alterna-
tively, you can save different start values and thus set a
patient's actual height more quickly.
1. Ensure that the scale has no load.
2. Switch on the scale.
