The Marsden M-510 is a premium portable floor scale combining the clinical precision of Class III and MDD dual approval with a separate remote indicator that positions the weight display discreetly at clinician level, away from the patient's sight line. With a 250kg capacity, 100g graduation and 40-hour rechargeable battery in a 6kg portable package, the M-510 is specified across NHS hospital wards, outpatient departments and community health settings where accuracy, portability and patient privacy are simultaneously required.
The M-510's higher capacity and 100g precision relative to the M-425 make it the preferred choice for clinical environments where patients in the 220kg to 250kg range require accurate weight capture with the discreet display benefit of a remote indicator.

Class III and MDD dual approval confirm the M-510 meets both NAWI Directive precision standards and EU Medical Device Directive manufacturing and safety requirements for clinical use. The 250kg capacity and 100g graduation make the M-510 appropriate for NHS outpatient and weight management settings where patients up to and including the higher end of the healthy adult range must be weighed accurately. Optional Wi-Fi connectivity supports NHS Digital EPR integration standards for community and outpatient weight data, and the printed audit trail from the optional TP-2100 printer supports CQC record-keeping requirements in regulated care settings.
How does the M-510 differ from the M-425 and when should each be specified?
The M-425 has a 220kg capacity with 50g graduation below 150kg, while the M-510 has a 250kg capacity with 100g graduation throughout. The M-425 is more precise in the lower weight range, making it better suited to child measurement and eating disorder settings. The M-510's higher capacity makes it more appropriate for general adult clinical use, outpatient departments and weight management services where patients over 220kg need accurate weighing with a discreet display. Both share the remote indicator format and similar portability characteristics.
Can the M-510 be used for community nursing home visits as well as hospital wards?
Yes. The M-510's 6kg weight, integrated carry handle and optional carry case make it fully portable for community deployment. The optional carry case is specifically designed for transport between home visits and protects the platform and indicator during vehicle transport. At 40 hours on a single charge, the M-510 handles multiple community rounds without mid-session recharging. For community nursing teams with established EPR systems, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity removes the need for paper-based weight recording during home visits.
