Marsden Weighing Group Wins Weighing Review Award For Best Medical Scale 2014
Marsden Weighing Group, the UK's leading manufacturer of medical weighing scales is delighted to have won Best Medical Scale 2014 in the prestigious Weighing Review Awards.
- (1888PressRelease) March 27, 2014 - Nominations were received from 31 countries, 48 products were put forward and votes came from 51 countries. Among the other nominees and award winners were Mettler Toledo, HMB, Siemens and Rinstrum.
Products were stringently judged on functionality, innovation and application.
The Marsden M-430 portable adult scale has added Bluetooth technology to enable the scales to send weight and bmi to either a new Marsden App or to be paired with innovative data collection devices increasingly being used in GP surgeries and hospitals to monitor the health of patients in their homes. The application of this new technology is fundamental to the Department of Health's Three Million Lives programme which seeks to reduce visits to GPs and admissions to hospitals. Marsden M-420 and M-430 scales are the UK's first Class III medical scales to use Bluetooth.
Managing Director, Richard Black, says that 'We are honoured to receive this award. The product idea came from customer feedback and assimilating this with technological advances within the health service. The scale will have a wide appeal to health visitors, hospitals and GP surgeries, who will all benefit from its lightweight construction, infection free mat and keyboard and its tap on facility. However, we are working closely with two important providers of telehealth devices and software and both are keen to add Marsden scales as peripheral devices to their systems. We believe that care for the patient within their homes will become increasingly important over the next few years and the innovation of a Class III approved scale with Bluetooth will enable us to participate in early stage development in this market.'
The Rotherham based company, runner up in last week's Medilink Business Awards Export Achievement category, has already sold the M-430BT to its distributors in the EU and has received enquiries from the Middle East, which has readily embraced the concept of telehealth.
