For weight measurements and nutritional screenings in nursing homes, class III approved medical grade scales should be used, as per the NAWI Directive. These scales are calibrated precision instruments that provide the most accurate weighing of patients. To be certain that they keep precision over time and that you can rely on the acquired weighing results, annual calibration testing is necessary. Only accurate scales ensure a proper weight and nutrition monitoring, as well as precise dosage of medication.

Smooth and interruption-free testing procedure
seca Engineers search independently for all scales at your location and coordinate the inventory. seca personnel are aware of the sensitiveness of care home settings, they are all covid vaccinated, DBS-checked and carry MIA ID cards. Each scale will undergo a five-point calibration test (up to at least 100kg) with calibrated weights, that are certified by a UKAS Approved Lab. If the reading is out of tolerance, the scale will be recalibrated and reverified. Onsite repairs can also be performed by our experienced team.
The whole process is performed without interruption for your daily care work. Infection control measures are undertaken, and all devices will be cleaned and disinfected. For each device you will receive a certificate and a service report in our online service portal. That’s what world class service looks like!
