Step up to a faster and easier way to weigh patients with the Model DS5100 Digital Scale with Height Rod. The ideal  medical scale for a busy physician's office, the DS5100 displays the patient's weight in just three seconds after they step on the large 15" x 13" low profile platform.  There is no need to press the power button to turn on the scale, thanks to the Auto Start-up feature. Stepping on the platform turns on the DS5100, and the electronic scale automatically shuts off when not in use.  The height rod measures from 2 ft 7 inches to 6 feet 10 inches.  The sturdy aluminum column houses the EZ-Slide height measurement rod. Enter the height using the scroll buttons, press the BMI button and the patient's Body Mass Index is instantly displayed in the right LCD.
