Medical
German term or phrase: Mischwaage
Bei einer Vollblutspende mittels *Mischwaage* wird das angestrebte Blut/ Antikoagulansverhältnis von 1:6 erst am Ende der Spende erreicht.

There are apparently Mischwaagen and Hebelwaagen... But I can't for the life of me picture this or figure out what kind of scale this could be, if a scale at all.

neutral  Andrzej Lejman: Die deutsche "Mischwaage" bedeutet sowohl Blutmischwaage, als auch Farbenmischwaage. As for mixing scales, I could find links only for the painting industry or laboratory scales. "Blood mixing scale" gives 0 results.
