The whole process is automatic, from scanning the patient's ID with a barcode reader to ultrasonic measurement of height and weight.

The CHARDER MS4980 is a verified (class III) patient height and weight measurement station.
The whole process is automatic, from scanning the patient's ID with a barcode reader, through ultrasonic measurement of height and weight, to data transmission, which eliminates manual data entry errors and reduces the workload of medical staff.
Measurement data are also shown on the scale's colour touchscreen.

The CHARDER MS4980 measurement station has been manufactured since November 2021. It was designed to automate the measurement of patient weight and height without close contact with medical staff, and to automate data processing so that the measured parameters can easily be integrated with the electronic patient record in any standard used by the hospital. Its advantages: fast, hands-free and accurate measurement of patient weight and height with easy entry of patient data (barcode reader), accurate CONTACT-FREE measurement of weight and height, and easy transfer of data to the medical facility's system.


Comparison with other products: there is no medical scale on the market that assigns the measured parameters to patient data previously read from a medical ID. This feature saves time and eliminates the error of assigning a measurement to the wrong patient (as of 20 March 2022).


Its unique electronic height rod allows fully automatic measurement (there is no need to lower the head piece onto the patient's head) and immediate transfer of the measurement to the facility's IT system.
Together, these features (barcode reader, ultrasonic height rod, automatic data transfer) make the device innovative and, in this form, a genuine novelty on the market.
The Poznań Salmed 2022 fair showed this product for the first time in Europe!
Despite their top build quality and innovation, Charder products are usually cheaper than competing products.

A patient is measured with the CHARDER MS4980 station in the following steps:

  1. Give the patient an ID (e.g. on admission to hospital) so that the device can quickly scan and save results during the measurement procedure.
  2. Sterilise the platform and, if necessary, enter a weight deduction before the measurement.
  3. Scan the user's and patient's IDs, or enter the data manually on the touchscreen.
  4. Weight and height are measured automatically.
  5. Send the measurement data to the medical facility's IT system.
  6. View the results in the system and compare them with previous measurements to analyse trends. The software is free.

Charder has already received the following awards:

  • German iF Product Design for a CHARDER medical baby scale,
  • German iF Design Award for the CHARDER MG4800 dynamometer,
  • Taiwan Excellence 2021 Award for the CHARDER MA801 body composition analyser.
