78 devices · GMDN 38267

A stand-on floor scale is a mechanical device placed on the floor to measure a patient’s total body weight by having them stand on it. Clinically, these scales are used in settings like hospitals, clinics, or home care to track weight changes for monitoring health conditions, assessing nutritional needs, or evaluating progress during treatment.

These devices are typically regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and risk level, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as standalone units, designed for durability and ease of use in clinical or home environments, with some requiring periodic maintenance to ensure accuracy.
