Marsden M-800: Class III Approved Bariatric and Geriatric Floor Scale for NHS and Care Settings
The Marsden M-800 is a specialist weighing platform designed for patients who require physical support when standing, including those on NHS bariatric pathways and elderly residents in CQC-regulated care homes. Its 300kg capacity, dual-interval precision and purpose-engineered patient access design position it as a primary reference product for NICE obesity pathway compliance and bariatric clinical assessment across UK healthcare.
Specified by NHS trusts, weight management clinics and residential care facilities, the M-800 addresses the specific challenge of weighing patients with significantly reduced mobility while maintaining clinical accuracy and patient dignity throughout the weighing episode.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
Class III approval under the NAWI Directive confirms the M-800 is legally authorised for patient monitoring, diagnosis and treatment across NHS and regulated care settings. The handrails are structurally independent of the load cell platform, carrying the patient's full weight without affecting accuracy, a requirement for LOLER-compliant patient handling. The Hold function and multi-screen indicator support CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) requirements for accurate clinical data capture, while optional wireless connectivity supports NHS Digital EPR integration standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the M-800 handrails bear a patient's full weight without affecting scale accuracy?
Yes. The twin handrails are structurally isolated from the weighing platform and engineered to carry the patient's full body weight independently of the load cells. Scale accuracy is fully maintained regardless of how much the patient leans on the handrails, which is essential for LOLER-compliant clinical weighing of bariatric and geriatric patients who require significant physical support.
Does the M-800 calculate BMI without manual arithmetic?
Yes. Height is entered via the numeric keypad before the patient steps on. The indicator then calculates and displays BMI automatically on the three-screen display alongside weight and height, with no separate calculation required. This supports NICE obesity pathway documentation and care home clinical assessment records efficiently within a busy ward workflow.
