Warranty: 2 Years - Workmanship and Defects.

The digital height rod will measure up to 6'7” and scale is EMR/EHR ready with a RS232 serial port. With high capacity and safety features, this scale will easily suit needs for weighing unsteady and obese patients. 

The powerful MedVue digital weight indicator is connected to the Digital Bariatric Scale with Height Rod and features metric conversion, auto shut-off, selectable sleep-mode, selectable filtering, 99 tare storage, serial input/output, USB device port, 200 stored transactions, and 14-digit patient ID. Data displays in the form of nearly 1"-high readouts.The attached digital height rod is fully automatic and will display patient height as rod is being lifted to measure patient height. There are no keys to push, or operations to memorize; this scale is fully automatic and will display height, weight, and BMI on the 1LOOK LCD screen.

Transmitting data with the MedVue can be done via optional Wi-Fi (not included), RS-232 port, or USB port. Connectivity through means of Wi-Fi, RS-232, or USB ports transmit data from the scale to devices in seconds; send weight, time, date, BMI, height, and patient ID directly to a printer, PC, tablet, network, bar code scanner, or mobile phone. Use ports simultaneously, and connect to printers via serial port and PCês via USB while another device is connected via Wi-Fi. Ability to work with the Detecto P50 Thermal Tape Printer (#809161188400) for quick printouts.

Wi-Fi and serial ports are not the only means for data transmissions, the Welch Allyn WACONNECT connectivity kit (#809161189209 / not included) connects Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitors and integrated wall systems with the MedVue to transfer data directly to EMR.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The Detecto Digital Bariatric Scale is designed for high-capacity weighing and offers two available configurations:

  • 1,000 lb (450 kg): This is the maximum capacity model, providing high-precision measurements with a readability of 0.2 lb (0.1 kg).
  • 600 lb (270 kg): An alternative capacity model is also available.

Both versions feature a robust painted steel construction, a non-skid platform, and padded handrails for exceptional patient safety and stability.

Is the digital height rod measurement automatic?

Yes, the integrated digital height rod on the Detecto Bariatric Scale is fully automatic.

This feature significantly improves efficiency, as it measures height simply by being lifted, requiring no manual key input from the operator.

Key specifications of the height rod:

  • Maximum Measurement: Up to 6 feet 7 inches.
  • Display Integration: Height, weight, and calculated Body Mass Index (BMI) are all displayed concurrently on the 1LOOK MedVue screen.
Is the Detecto Bariatric Scale EMR/EHR compatible?

Yes, the Detecto Digital Bariatric Scale is EMR/EHR ready for seamless data transfer. It features RS-232 serial and USB device ports for direct connectivity. Additionally, optional Wi-Fi is available for wireless integration with electronic medical records and other devices.

Does the 1LOOK MedVue display readings simultaneously?

Yes, the Detecto scale utilizes the exclusive 1LOOK MedVue indicator to boost efficiency by providing a simultaneous display of all three critical patient metrics:

  • Weight
  • Height (captured automatically by the digital height rod)
  • Body Mass Index (BMI)

This feature ensures comprehensive data is available at a glance. Furthermore, the weight readout uses large LCD digits (0.875” high) that are viewable from an impressive distance of up to 30 feet (10 meters), enhancing visibility and ease of use in clinical settings.

Does the scale use flexible power options?

Yes, the Detecto Bariatric Scale offers flexible power options, ensuring it can be used continuously in a fixed location or mobilized throughout a facility (aided by integral wheels).

The scale supports two primary methods:

  • Battery Power (Portability): The scale operates on six “C” cell batteries (Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH, not included). This provides excellent longevity for high-volume use:
    • Up to 10,620 weighments if the display backlight is off.
    • Up to 7,560 weighments if the display backlight is on.
  • AC Power (Continuous Use): For clinical settings requiring fixed, continuous power, an optional 12 VCD 1.25A wall plug-in AC adapter (part # WV1PWR) can be used.
How long does the battery last in weighments?

The scale is designed for long operational life and requires six “C” cell batteries (Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH—not included).

The estimated battery life depends heavily on the use of the screen backlight:

  • Backlight Fully ON: Approximately 7,560 weighments.
  • Backlight Fully OFF: Approximately 10,620 weighments.

For continuous powered operation, an optional AC adapter is available.

Does the scale have patient safety features?

Yes, the Detecto Bariatric Scale is engineered with multiple features to ensure patient safety and stability, especially for unsteady or obese patients:

  • Non-Skid Platform: The platform surface is non-skid, providing secure footing.
  • Padded Handrails: The robust steel handrails include padded grips for the patient to hold onto, offering reassurance and support during the weighing process.
  • Robust Construction: The entire structure is made of painted steel, ensuring stability and durability for bariatric use.
How many weight readings can the scale store?

The Detecto 1LOOK MedVue indicator features robust internal memory to manage data efficiently. It can store two types of information:

  • 200 stored transactions: These records include the complete weight reading, height, BMI, time, date, and patient ID.
  • 99 tare storage locations: This allows for quickly accessing and applying frequently used tare weights.
Is the scale made from durable steel?

Yes, the Detecto Bariatric Scale is constructed from durable, painted steel. This robust construction is designed to ensure longevity, stability, and enhanced patient safety during use in demanding medical environments.

Does the scale offer wireless connectivity?

Yes, the Detecto Bariatric Scale offers optional Wi-Fi connectivity, in addition to standard RS-232 and USB ports. This allows for seamless data transfer to EMR/EHR systems and other devices.
