- Class III Approved, 600kg or 1500kg capacity with 200g or 500g graduations, manufactured from clinical-grade stainless steel with IP68-rated waterproof load cells for infection-controlled environments requiring regular chemical washdown.
- IP68-rated waterproof construction meets NHS infection control policy requirements for decontamination between patients, supporting HACCP protocols in critical care units, A&E departments and high-dependency wards.
- Available in three platform sizes to accommodate standard hospital trolleys, bariatric trolleys and a range of double castor bed configurations, with Preset Tare, Hold and BMI calculation as standard clinical functions.
- Indicator mounts on column or wall for workflow integration into fixed clinical areas, with optional printer and data connectivity for EPR record keeping and NHS audit compliance.
Marsden M-920: Class III Approved Stainless Steel Bed Weigher with IP68 Washdown Rating
The Marsden M-920 is the clinical choice for environments where regular decontamination between patients is mandatory, including A&E admissions areas, surgical preparation units and ICUs. Manufactured from hospital-grade stainless steel with IP68-rated waterproof load cells, the M-920 withstands repeated chemical washdown without compromising weighing accuracy or structural integrity, meeting NHS infection control policy requirements that standard mild steel platforms cannot satisfy.
With 600kg or 1500kg capacity options and three available platform sizes, the M-920 is configurable for standard NHS trolleys through to heavy-duty bariatric bed configurations, with all clinical weighing functions included as standard.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
Class III approval under the NAWI Directive confirms the M-920 is authorised for clinical diagnosis and treatment in NHS and regulated settings. IP68 load cell waterproofing is a distinct compliance advantage over standard mild steel bed weighers: NHS infection control guidance requires thorough decontamination of medical equipment between patients, and the M-920's washdown capability ensures this can be completed without risk of moisture damage or scale malfunction. HACCP-compliant cleaning is supported by the fully sealed load cell construction and stainless steel surface, which resists chemical cleaning agents and prevents bacterial harbouring in surface joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the stainless steel construction of the M-920 clinically significant?
Stainless steel resists corrosion, bacterial adhesion and the chemical cleaning agents used in NHS decontamination protocols far more effectively than mild steel or powder-coated surfaces. In environments such as A&E, ITU and surgical prep areas where scales are cleaned multiple times daily between patients, stainless steel construction extends operational life significantly and supports compliance with NHS Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPs).
What does IP68 mean for the M-920 and why does it matter in clinical use?
IP68 is an international standard indicating that the load cells are sealed against continuous immersion in water, the highest common waterproofing rating for industrial and clinical equipment. In practical terms, this means the M-920 can be thoroughly hosed down or steam cleaned without risk of moisture entering the weighing mechanism, which is a significant advantage over scales with IP54 or IP65 ratings that only offer splash protection and are not suitable for full chemical washdown.
