Scale accuracy MBSC-55

[Guest guest]

I'm working with infants who are <2 pounds while they are still admitted to the

nursery where I have a scale with an accuracy of 2 grams.

The specs for the MBSC-55 state it is accurate to .5 oz (15 grams) for objects

between 2-55 pounds.

An accuracy within 15 grams is not adequate for pre and post feed weights.

Here are the product specs:

Product Description

The ULTRASCALE MBSC-50 is designed to be the ultimate scale for home, office or

small business. Whether you're weighing newborns, toddlers, pets, foods,

postcards, letters, parcels, envelopes, mailing tubes, padded packs, small

boxes, medium boxes or even large boxes, this scale has been designed to suit

your needs perfectly. The MBSC-55 dual range design allows accurate reading of

small letters in 0.1oz increments for 0-2 lbs, while larger packages are read in

0.5oz increments for 2-55 lbs. You no longer need one scale for letters and

another for boxes. This is an asset for any home or office. The wide angle LCD

offers a detachable and wall mountable readout on a flex-cord is perfect for

installing in your nursery or office. Additional features include a HOLD feature

(to lock in a weight while the infant is moving), TARE feature (to zero out the

weight of a tray or item), adjustable auto off times and much more. Includes AC

Adapter. Batteries not included.
