Cleaning and Care
Cleaning:
For use with multiple patients or multiple locations, we recommend cleaning all equipment each time the
scale is used. We recommend using SaniZide Spray (#694800 - 2oz bottle) as it kills a broad spectrum of
bacteria. Dampen a paper towel or soft cloth with the SaniZide Spray and wipe clean. Never submerge an
electronic device in water.
Protection:
When using this scale in the eld, we recommend a carry tote for protection and cleanliness. Be careful
not to drop or impact the scale in any way to avoid damage to the electronics. You can also use this tote to
carry cleaning supplies as well as patient literature. For your convenience, a bundled Hopkins® EZ Carry
440LB Digital Scale and Three Pocket Tote (#683297) is available.
How to Use Your Scale
Operation Instructions For Healthcare Professionals
1. Select the measurement units to either pounds (lb), stone (st), or killograms (kg) using the switch on
the back of the scale.
2. For both safety and accuracy, lay the scale on a smooth and level surface.
3. To activate your scale, tap anywhere on the platform with your foot. The scale must be calibrated every
time it is moved or turned over. To calibrate, tap the scale as usual, wait until the LCD display reads “0.0”
and then wait for the scale to turn off automatically.
4. Have your patient step up onto the platform and remain stationary until after the LCD display stops
ashing. Any movement by the patient while weight is being measured will result in an inaccurate reading.
If being used by a single patient repeatedly, have them try to stand in the same place every time for best
accuracy. If the patient’s weight is more than 440 lbs an error message of “ERR” will be displayed.
Changing the Batteries
Turn the scale over and lift up the battery cover. Replace the batteries with new AAA alkaline batteries only,
and make sure their polarities (+/-) are in the correct position. Clean the contacts in the scale and on the
batteries before inserting them. Do not mix new and old batteries or regular batteries with rechargeables.
Properly dispose of batteries in accordance with local waste management procedure.
Never try to open the scale body or repair it yourself! If you have any problems with your scale, please call
Hopkins Medical Products at 1-800-835-1995 M-F 8:30am to 5pm EST.
