Marsden M-610: Class III and MDD Approved Portable Wheelchair Weigh Beams for NHS and Care Settings
The Marsden M-610 is the best-selling portable wheelchair weighing solution in UK healthcare, combining Class III and MDD Approved clinical accuracy with a compact two-beam design that can be set up in any room, corridor or clinical area within minutes. With 300kg capacity and built-in ramps, the M-610 is the standard portable wheelchair scale specification for NHS hospitals, care homes and community health teams requiring reliable clinical-grade weighing without a fixed platform installation.
Easy-grip handles allow single-person transport between clinical areas, with most manual wheelchair types rolling directly onto the beams via the integrated ramps without any setup adjustment, making the M-610 the lowest-friction portable wheelchair weighing solution available at Class III certification level.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
Class III and MDD approval confirm the M-610 meets NAWI Directive precision standards and EU Medical Device Directive requirements for clinical patient weighing. Preset Tare is the critical clinical function on a wheelchair scale: NHS renal units require accurate patient weight to within 200g or better for fluid management targets, and the Preset Tare function eliminates the wheelchair weight from the reading without manual arithmetic, removing a significant source of clinical error in high-frequency weighing environments. The M-610's portability supports multi-ward deployment in NHS trusts that manage shared equipment pools across clinical areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Preset Tare work on the M-610 for wheelchair weighing?
The wheelchair's weight is first weighed empty on the beams and stored as the Preset Tare value in the indicator. When the patient is then transferred into the wheelchair and rolled onto the beams, the stored wheelchair weight is automatically deducted, displaying only the patient's weight. Once the wheelchair weight has been stored for a specific chair, it does not need to be re-weighed at each session, making the process fast and suitable for high-volume renal and ward weighing rounds where multiple patients use the same scale.
Is the M-610 suitable for use in renal dialysis units where frequent weighing is required?
Yes. The M-610 is widely specified in NHS renal units for precisely this purpose. Dialysis patients are typically weighed at every session, which may be three times per week, and accurate wheelchair weighing is essential for calculating ultrafiltration targets and managing fluid removal during dialysis. The M-610's Class III precision, Preset Tare function and rapid setup make it practical for renal unit workflows where weighing many patients efficiently while maintaining clinical accuracy is a daily operational requirement.
