CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
INTENDED USE
This Health o meter® Professional patient transfer scale is intended to be used in a professional medical environment by trained medical staff. This product was designed to weigh immobile patients who are safely positioned on the scale. Do not modify the product or use it for anything other than its intended purpose.
To prevent patient/caregiver injury or damage to your scale, please follow the
instructions in this user manual very carefully.
When using electrical components under increased safety requirements, always comply with
appropriate regulations.
Inappropriate installation/use will render the warranty null and void. Ensure the voltage marked on the power supply unit matches your mains supply. This device is designed for use indoors. Observe the permissible ambient temperatures for use. The device meets the requirements for electromagnetic capability. Do not exceed the
maximum values specified in the applicable standards.
Batteries should be kept away from small children. If swallowed, promptly seek medical
assistance.
Transfer patient only between surfaces of similar height. The wheels of the stretcher/bed must be locked before use. The distance from bed to bed, or stretcher to bed, must not exceed 8 in/20 cm. The scale must be supported by a minimum of 8 in/20 cm on each bed/stretcher. Do not exceed the weight capacity specified for this scale. For accurate weighing, verify before each use the proper operation according to the
procedure described in this manual.
Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive materials. If the scale becomes damaged, it should not be operated until properly serviced. Ensure that the battery charger and scale do not come in contact with liquids, excessive
temperature, or excessive humidity.
Patient should be lying flat for better accuracy. The Patient Transfer Scale should be used with a slide sheet. Warning: The Patient Transfer Scale should not be used to carry patients.
In no event whatsoever shall Pelstar, LLC be liable for damages or injuries arising from
or connected with the assembly, use, or misuse of its products.

WALL MOUNTING THE SCALE
55” (1400 mm)
24” (610 mm)
You can hang the Patient Transfer Scale on the wall either horizontally or vertically, using the hooks provided. To hang horizontally, your hooks will need to be positioned exactly 55” (1400mm) apart, center to center. To hang vertically, your hooks will need to be positioned 24” (610mm) apart, center to center. It is suggested to hang the scale near a power outlet to be able to easily attach the battery charger.
Use the Patient Transfer Scale and the hooks to determine the positioning of the hooks on the wall, and mark drill holes. Drill holes should be exactly 55” (1400mm) or 24” (610mm) apart, as per above.

RECHARGING THE SCALE
We recommend fully charging the scale before first use. To fully charge the scale, please allow 8 hours. When the low battery indicator on the LCD display indicates that the scale needs recharging, move the scale to a location where it can be charged. You will find the charging port on the underside of the scale.
The port for the charging cable is magnetic. Clip the end of the cable in place and plug the other end of the cable into a power outlet. Please do not use any form of charging cable other than the one supplied with the scale. The scale cannot be used whille recharging.

PREPARING TO USE THE SCALE
1” /
The Patient Transfer Scale should be used in line with your facility’s current moving and handling policies. Essentially, it should be used in the same way you would use a transfer board, taking into account of course that you will need to pause for a few seconds during the transfer process, to allow the scale to capture the patient’s weight.
The Patient Transfer Scale should only be used by trained professionals. Ensure brakes on castors are applied before you begin the transfer process. Ensure that stretcher/bed frames are touching before you start the transfer process. There should be no more than 8”/200mm between mattresses. There should also be
8”/200mm or more of the Patient Transfer Scale on each bed or stretcher before use.
When transferring, the two surfaces must be of similar height. A tilt of less than 3% (one
side raised by around 1”/25mm) is ok; a tilt greater than this will affect the scale’s accuracy. To avoid showing an inaccurate reading, the scale will display an error message if tilt exceeds 3% (see Error Messages).
Patient should be lying flat for better accuracy. The Patient Transfer Scale should be used with a slide sheet. Warning: The Patient Transfer Scale should not be used to carry patients.
Guidance for safe use can also be found on the scale itself.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the MEDICAL SCALE PTS-1000KL is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MEDICAL SCALE PTS-1000KL should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures my be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the MEDICAL SCALE PTS­1000KL.
