Your Weight Scale
Rapid weight gain can be an early sign of fluid retention. Weighing yourself daily helps your care team identify changes before you begin feeling worse.
How often should I check my weight?
• Weigh yourself at least once daily, or as instructed by your provider.
• For the most consistent results, weigh yourself at the same time each morning.
• Try to weigh yourself after using the restroom and before eating or drinking anything.
A note about these guidelines
The information included reflects our most common recommendations. Your provider or care team may give you specific instructions that are different — always follow their guidance first. If you have questions about how or when to take your readings, call the care team.
For The Most Accurate Readings
Weigh yourself at the same time each day, preferably in the morning.
Wear similar clothing each time you weigh yourself, or ideally, weigh yourself before getting dressed at all.
Follow any weight guidelines provided by your care team and contact them if you notice a significant or unexpected change in your weight.
Capturing Your First Reading
Read your owner’s manual for all safety and use information.
Insert batteries into your iScale and wait for it to pair. While you are in the battery compartment, double-check that the unit measurement is set correctly to lbs or kg.
Place your iScale on a flat surface near an exterior door or window. Note: Please do not place your iScale on carpeted floors.
Tap the scale with your foot to wake up the device and allow it to calibrate.
When you see 00, your iScale is ready to take your reading. Step on the scale to take your first reading.
Wait for the on-screen confirmation message “oH” or “oK”.
You’re done! Your results are automatically sent to your provider.
