The Marsden CC-400 is a showerproof padded carry case compatible with the M-400, M-410 and M-300 baby scales, designed for NHS community health visitors and community midwives who transport baby scales between home visits in all weather conditions. The showerproof outer fabric protects the scale from rain during outdoor transit between a parked vehicle and a patient's front door, a routine exposure in UK community health practice that standard padded cases without water resistance cannot adequately address without compromising the scale electronics over repeated wet-weather use.
Compatibility with the three most commonly deployed Marsden community baby scales gives NHS community health service procurement teams a single carry case specification for their entire Marsden baby scale fleet, simplifying procurement and ensuring consistent protection across mixed-model deployments.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Compatible Scales | Marsden M-400, M-410, M-300 baby scales |
| Weather Protection | Showerproof outer fabric |
| Impact Protection | Padded construction for transport impact and vibration |
| Deployment | Community health visitor and midwifery home visit use |
| Clinical Benefit | Maintains scale calibration and electronics in community use |
NHS community health service equipment policies require that clinical scales are maintained in a condition that preserves their Class III calibration accuracy between uses. Moisture ingress to baby scale electronics during transport in wet weather conditions can compromise calibration and reduce the operational life of the scale, creating an unplanned replacement cost and a gap in service delivery. The CC-400's showerproof outer fabric provides the first line of weather protection that maintains scale electronics integrity across a typical UK community health deployment, complementing the padded impact protection that addresses the vehicle transport and bag handling stresses of daily community use.
Is the CC-400 case fully waterproof or only showerproof?
The CC-400 is showerproof rather than fully waterproof. It protects the scale from the brief rain exposure typical of walking between a vehicle and a patient's home, or carrying the case in light to moderate rainfall during outdoor transport. It is not designed to withstand sustained heavy rain exposure, immersion or the conditions encountered in prolonged outdoor events. For community practitioners working in consistently wet or exposed rural environments, additional protection such as a waterproof outer bag over the CC-400 may be advisable during particularly severe weather conditions.
Does the CC-400 case also fit the M-320 baby scale?
Yes. Marsden's accessory documentation confirms the CC-400 as compatible with the M-320 in addition to the M-300, M-400 and M-410. The M-320 product page lists the CC-400 as the recommended carry case option for community deployment, making the CC-400 the single carry case specification for most portable Marsden tray-based baby scales used in NHS community health visitor and midwifery roles. Confirm with Marsden for any models not listed here, as the accessory compatibility list may be updated as new scale models are released.
