Ultimate Portability for Community Weighing
The Marsden M-300 has been developed with portability as a central priority, making it the most compact and lightweight baby scale in the Marsden range. Specifically designed to meet the day-to-day requirements of midwives and community health visitors, it supports accurate infant weighing across a wide variety of care environments, including home visits, clinics, health centres, and postnatal wards. With a total weight of just 3.1 kg, the M-300 is easy to lift, carry, and position, helping to reduce physical strain for healthcare professionals who are frequently on the move.
To further enhance convenience, the M-300 is available with either a dedicated carry case or a rucksack. These transport options allow the scale to be carried comfortably while keeping it protected between appointments. This practical design ensures the scale is always ready for use, even when travelling between multiple locations throughout the day. Its compact footprint also allows for easy storage in vehicles, cupboards, or clinical bags without taking up unnecessary space.
Advanced picostrain technology plays a key role in the M-300’s portability by delivering exceptional power efficiency. The scale operates on just two standard AA batteries while providing over 600 hours of use. This long battery life minimises the need for frequent battery replacements, ensuring uninterrupted service during busy clinical schedules and making the scale especially well suited to community-based care where access to power sources may be limited.
Extreme Accuracy for Clinical Confidence
Accurate weight measurement is essential in infant care, and the Marsden M-300 offers precision down to 2 g. This high level of sensitivity enables healthcare professionals to identify even the smallest changes in a baby’s weight, which can be critical for monitoring growth, feeding progress, and overall health. Such accuracy makes the M-300 suitable for both routine weighing and more critical clinical monitoring where precise data is required.
Consistent, reliable readings support confident clinical decision-making and effective long-term tracking of infant development. The M-300 helps ensure that weight measurements are dependable, reducing uncertainty and supporting best practice in neonatal and postnatal care. Its accuracy is particularly valuable when monitoring vulnerable infants, where small weight variations can have clinical significance.
The integrated Tare function further enhances measurement accuracy and ease of use. This allows carers to quickly deduct the weight of blankets, nappies, or swaddling, ensuring that only the baby’s true body weight is recorded. By eliminating the need for manual calculations, the Tare function saves time and reduces the risk of error, supporting efficient and accurate weighing in both clinical and home environments.
Simple and Practical Operation
The Marsden M-300 is designed to be straightforward and intuitive, allowing healthcare professionals to use it confidently with minimal training. Its clear display and simple controls make it easy to read measurements at a glance, even in environments with limited space or less-than-ideal lighting. This ease of operation is particularly beneficial during home visits, where speed, clarity, and reliability are essential.
The scale’s compact design allows it to be placed on a variety of stable surfaces, offering flexibility across different care settings. Whether used in a clinic or a patient’s home, the M-300 delivers consistent performance without the need for complex setup or adjustment.
Built to Last in Professional Environments
Durability is a key consideration in the design of the Marsden M-300. Engineered for regular professional use, the scale is constructed from high-quality materials that ensure long-term reliability, even in demanding healthcare environments. Its robust build supports frequent transportation and repeated daily use without compromising accuracy or performance.
Marsden reinforces this build quality by supplying the M-300 with an 8-year warranty as standard. This extended warranty provides long-term assurance and reflects the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s durability and performance. It also makes the M-300 a cost-effective investment for healthcare organisations seeking reliable equipment with a long service life.
For added reassurance, a Marsden service contract is available. This helps ensure the scale continues to operate within recommended guidelines throughout its lifespan, supporting ongoing accuracy, compliance, and reliability.
