FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Stadiometers and Height Measuring Rods
What is a stadiometer?
A stadiometer is used for the precise measurement of body height or body length in newborns, children and adults. The KERN range includes both standalone mechanical height measuring rods and measurement solutions that can be combined with selected baby scales or medical personal scales.
Which solution is suitable for measuring body length in babies?
For newborns and infants, special mechanical length measuring devices for use in a lying position are recommended. KERN offers portable height measuring rods as well as measuring rods that can be attached to selected baby scales.
Are there height measuring rods for baby scales?
Yes. The MBC-A01 height measuring rod can be attached to selected KERN baby scales and enables precise body length measurement for newborns and infants directly at the baby weighing station.
Which solution is suitable for measuring body weight and height in adults?
For adults, medical scales with an integrated or attachable height measuring rod are an efficient solution. KERN offers selected medical personal scales that allow body weight and height to be recorded at a single measuring station.
Are there personal scales with an integrated height measuring rod?
Yes. KERN offers selected medical personal scales with an integrated height measuring rod, such as the KERN MPE-HM and KERN MPN-H. These solutions allow body weight and body height to be measured conveniently in a single workflow.
Which stadiometers and height measuring rods are medically approved?
The MSB 80, MBA-A01, MSC 100 and MSF 200 models are approved as medical devices in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and are suitable for professional use in healthcare environments.
What measuring range do KERN stadiometers cover?
Depending on the model, KERN stadiometers and height measuring rods cover measuring ranges from 7.5 cm to 205 cm. This provides suitable solutions for newborns, infants, children, adolescents and adults.
What should be considered when choosing a stadiometer or height measuring rod?
Important factors include the age group, measuring range, installation location and whether height measurement should be performed independently or in combination with a scale. In healthcare facilities, it is also important to determine whether a medically approved model is required.
When is a standalone height measuring rod the best choice?
A standalone height measuring rod is ideal when body height needs to be measured independently of a scale. Portable models are particularly suitable for paediatric practices, hospitals, nursing facilities and mobile healthcare applications.
What is the difference between a height measuring rod and a stadiometer?
A height measuring rod is a specific type of stadiometer. Both are used to measure body height or body length, but they may differ depending on the application, patient age group and whether they are used as a standalone device or in combination with a scale.
Which healthcare facilities use KERN stadiometers and height measuring rods?
KERN stadiometers and height measuring rods are suitable for hospitals, medical practices, paediatric clinics, nursing homes and rehabilitation centres. They support professional height and length measurement for babies, children and adults.
