Clinical weighing scales used for medical decisions must comply with the Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments Directive and hold Class III approval. The Marsden M-410 meets these requirements for paediatric weight data. CQC expects accurate paediatric weight records as part of growth monitoring and nutritional screening. Scales should be calibrated per the manufacturer's recommended schedule.
Why does a baby scale need Class III approval?
Class III approval certifies that the scale meets the accuracy standards required for medical weight data. Paediatric medication dosing, growth trajectory monitoring, and nutritional assessments rely on precise weight measurements. Non-approved scales may have accuracy tolerances too wide for clinical use, potentially affecting treatment decisions.
How often should this scale be calibrated?
Calibrate per the manufacturer's recommended schedule, typically annually or after any impact, relocation, or suspected inaccuracy. Maintain calibration records for audit. If readings appear inconsistent, withdraw the scale from clinical use until recalibrated by a competent service provider.
