What Is the 5 kg Infant Spring Scale Used For?
The upper hook is hung from a door frame, beam or tripod and a sling or weighing trouser goes on the lower hook. With the empty carrier attached, the health worker resets the scale to zero, places the baby in it and reads the weight once the pointer steadies, typically within three seconds. The 25 g graduation is fine enough to follow small changes in newborns, which is why this range is favoured for birth-weight and early growth checks rather than for older toddlers.
Before each session, hang the scale with nothing attached and confirm it returns to zero; a known test weight gives a quick field check between formal calibration checks. Programmes writing laboratory equipment tenders in India for outreach kits often pair this scale with a sling for lying newborns. Wipe the body after use and store it dry to protect the spring mechanism.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of scales needed per clinic or outreach team.
- The carrier for the lower hook: the Sling for use with Scale for lying newborns or the Weighing Trousers for seated infants.
- Whether the 0–25 kg x 100 g spring scale is also needed for children beyond the 5 kg range.
- The delivery location in India or abroad.
