Is this scale appropriate for professional medical office?

I hope so, my doctor's office uses them. One of the reasons I bought this for home use. It gives consistent readings. It also gives accurate readings (sigh).

It seems very accurate, weighs up to 350 lbs (not sure if that's enough) and the hand held readout makes it easier than a floor scale. As a patient it would not be off-putting for the nurse to ask me to step on one of these, so I would say yes. It also weighs in decimals of a pound, not just full pounds. I've had it nearly a couple years and it hasn't needed a new battery yet and I have had no problems of any kind as of yet.

We have not calibrated the monitor in a physician's office, but my husband and I feel that ourreadings are on track with the values we expect based on recent office visits. The readings are also consistent when taken multiple times.

I don't know about the "medical grade", but yes you can use it on adults. I've owned many thermometers, but I literally threw out others and kept this. It's incredibly easy and accurate. I use it on me, my husband, and our children.

scale will measure accurately to less than 1/10 mg. as scale is sensitive do not use in drafty areas.

I don't know that it would be accurate enough for a postal scale, depends on how small. I'd look for a food scale that goes up to the lbs you need but that will do ounces for small packages. Most bathroom scales are not accurate under like 20-30 lbs.

I am not too sure. My guess is that is would be fine. It's a very Nice scale... My daughter comes over once a week to weigh her self - she doesn't like the one that they have at the house...

Mine was 7 higher then the one in the Doctor's office. I may be wrong but it is my understanding the calibration is to take it somewhere like your doctor's office and have them use their monitor and then your monitor so you know the difference and then YOU keep in mind the difference. If you find out that I am wrong, then please send a message back to me. I wish they were the same, too.

Yes but I don't recomend this scale. You have to adjust it back and corth EVERY TIME!!

I have had no problem with it. I would try recalibrating one more time and if that does not work, call the manufacturer. I saw where many people who did previous reviews called the manufacturer, and received excellent results. As an aside, I use this scale and it as accurate as the physicians.

No, the scale will not give accurate readings if placed directly on carpet. However, since there is carpet in our bathroom, I placed the scale on a spare shelf from a small bookcase which rests directly on the carpet. Having done this, the scale gives accurate readings. . .which correspond to the scale in my doctor's office.

You may also want to ask the postal employee if the lobby scale is calibrated. Often the one in the lobby may read differently from the one at the desk (surprised to discover one day!)

This scale is very slim, slightly under one inch. It should work nicely for you. I really like mine.

This scale volume is loud enough and I do believe someone with impaired hearing should be ale to hear it. I have had no problems with my scale.

I assume that it is very accurate. When my wife or I visit the doctors and they use their professional equipment, it never varies from our readings at home.

I would say so. It is a very accurate little scale. I don't know what you weigh the soap in, just make sure your container is not so large that it covers the digital readout. I use this scale for packaging feta cheese in 8-oz. deli containers and it works beautifully.

Opinion only. Yes, but or maybe. Rug would be fine. Is there a pad underneath and how deep and soft would that be? My scale is on an old wood floor with flexible boards. With my scale there is a slight [10th of a pound] variance if I rock back and forth. Basically nothing. The balance mechanism is all internal, nothing to do with the floor. When you put this scale in any place, there is an adjusting screw on the left of the balance, so you zero the scale to fit its existing environment, temperature, et cet. That's why it's so accurate. Also it has no springs - which vary depending on temperature, and even vary when you step on a bathroom scale more than once. This is the exact same scale. make and model, as in my doctors' offices in Kaiser Permanente - if that's a recommendation.

Not sure on that. I use mine to sell produce. You would need to see a States weight and measure person to see. They are the people who certifies . it is a nice scale.
