Cellular Weight Scales Compared
A cellular scale sends each weight reading over the cellular network automatically, so patients don't need Wi-Fi, a phone or an app. Daily weights are common in RPM programs, including heart failure monitoring. Here's how the cellular scales we carry compare.
Comparison table
| Scale | Capacity | Power | Notable features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart Meter iScale Plus | 11–551 lb (5–250 kg) | 4 AA batteries | Stores readings if cellular is unavailable and uploads them later; wide non-slip platform |
| Telli Health U30B | 6.6–600 lb (3–272 kg) | Rechargeable lithium-ion, USB | LCD display; no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi needed |
| Transtek TeleRPM Scale Gen 2 | Up to 441 lb (200 kg) | 4 AA batteries | 0.1 kg steps; large LED display; black or white |
| A&D UC-352CEL | Up to 450 lb (200 kg) | 4 AAA batteries (included) | LTE-M/NB-IoT; step-on start; 90-reading memory |
How to choose
- Capacity: the Telli Health U30B (600 lb) and Smart Meter iScale Plus (551 lb) have the highest capacity.
- Coverage gaps: the iScale Plus stores readings and uploads them when the connection returns.
- Batteries vs. rechargeable: AA/AAA models avoid charging; the U30B charges over USB.
