The WS 1204 Wheel Chair Scale provides a lightweight, portable and wireless alternative to weighing wheelchair-bound patients. To weigh a patient, a health-care provider simply places a small weighing pad in front of each wheel and rolls the wheelchair onto the four pads. The pads send data wirelessly to the remote display, which combines the measurements from each pad, subtracts the weight of the wheelchair and displays the resulting patient weight.
