The Marsden M-210 is the most widely specified chair weighing scale in NHS hospitals across the UK, combining dual-interval precision, ease of clinical use and high mobility in a durable, long-life package. With 50g graduations below 150kg, the M-210 is particularly valued in dialysis units, oncology wards and weight management clinics where detecting small but clinically significant weight changes between sessions is a core monitoring requirement under NICE guidelines.
Rechargeable battery power, integrated wheels and brakes, and hinged patient access allow the M-210 to be used as a mobile weighing solution across multiple clinical areas without infrastructure dependency, making it the default chair scale specification for NHS trusts running multi-ward patient monitoring programmes.

Class III approval under the NAWI Directive confirms the M-210 is authorised for patient monitoring, diagnosis and treatment in NHS and regulated care settings. Dual-interval graduation, with 50g precision below 150kg, is a direct clinical advantage for NHS renal units where fluid management targets require inter-session weight accuracy to the nearest 100g or better, and for oncology wards where accurate weight is required for chemotherapy dose calculation. The Hold function supports stable readings for patients with tremor or involuntary movement, supporting CQC Regulation 12 requirements for accurate clinical data capture.
Why is the M-210 specified so widely across NHS trusts?
The M-210 is the NHS default chair scale because it combines the three things NHS procurement values most: Class III clinical accuracy, genuine multi-ward portability and long-term reliability under high-frequency use. The dual-interval graduation at 50g below 150kg adds clinical precision that matters in dialysis, oncology and paediatric-adjacent environments. The 8-year warranty, rechargeable battery and Marsden's service and calibration network make it a low total cost of ownership choice for NHS procurement teams managing large scale contracts.
Can the M-210 connect directly to NHS EPR systems?
Optional Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity modules allow the M-210 to transmit weight data wirelessly to compatible systems. Marsden provides connection support and can assist with initial system setup, though EPR-specific integration software is managed by the trust's clinical informatics team. Printed records via the optional TP-2100 printer provide an immediate paper audit trail where direct EPR integration has not yet been established on a particular ward or clinical area.
