599KL Health-O-Meter scale is an accurate, reliable, and repeatable medical scale used for weighing
patients in a hospital, clinic, or even in gyms, where people want to monitor their weight quite actively. This digital medical
scale features a large base, swivel display with a large 1" LCD, wheels for easy mobility & RS232 interface to connect the
medical scale to a computer. There is also a 500 pound maximum weighing capacity that increments 0.2 pounds.
599KL digital medical scales include a BMI function for quickly finding a patient's body mass index. If you
require a mobile waist high physician scale, the 599KL operates by 6 "C" batteries (batteries not included) or an AC adapter which
is included. Combined with the wheels, this waist-high scale becomes a portable solution for places such as hospitals
or clinics, where a physician scale may need to be transported around a large building.

PLEASE NOTE
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) technology is supported by the 599KL medical scale from Healthometer, but the EMR software itself is not included, and requires a specialist to configure. Precision Weighing Balances cannot offer these setup services. It is the responsibility of your own facility to hire a 3rd party consultant, or have an in-house professional perform the installation. Software setup is too complicated for the average computer user to install.
Transferring the weight of the patient to a computer requires serial communications software that needs to be installed on a computer and does not come with the scale. If you don't have EMR you could purchase WinWedge 32 Standard RS232 software allowing you to export patient's weight into an Excel spreadsheet for ease of documentation.
