Detecto's in-bed medical scales are designed to prioritize convenience for medical professionals and comfort for patients. With a weight capacity of 500 pounds, this scale can accommodate most patients with ease. The stretcher slides underneath the patient and a hydraulic cylinder connected to an adjustable weighing arm lift the patient inches above the bed for weighing. Professionals can tare away extra weight, such as bedding, to receive clinically accurate weight readings, allowing them to prioritize assisting the patient throughout the process.
These in-bed scales are easily portable thanks to the carrying strap and easy stow hoops attached to the stretcher component. The scale fits through standard doorways. Full-swivel ball-bearing casters keep the legs of the scale secure, ensuring it won't budget during the weighing process, preventing the risk of injury to the patient.
The scale can connect to EHR/EMR systems through the included RS232 serial port.
The Detecto Fixed Leg Digital Stretcher Scale should not be used as a means of transporting patients. Use the ZERO key to subtract the weight of bedding for more accurate measurements of patient weight. This product is covered by a one-year limited warranty from the manufacturer, with 90 days on parts and service. The durable steel construction maintains the device's functionality even after long periods of extended use so the scale doesn't wear down over time, further fostering patient safety in the process.
