Abstract: Mass scales are weighing equipment essential for an array of products and processes, as well as medicine in hemodialysis treatment. In this procedure, the patient’s weight is critical for a correct dialysis prescription, along with the patient's liquid loss. This study aims to utilize Rozenfeld et al.’s (2006) Referential Model for Product Development Process to develop a prototype of an equipment for weighing patients, to continually control the liquid loss of patients throughout the hemodialysis procedure. To achieve that, a prototype was developed in CAD and its mechanical behavior was simulated in CAE before fabricating a functional prototype to be utilized in a dialysis clinic, and have its operation analyzed. The prototype produced satisfactory results that justified the production of further units.
