Frequently asked questions
What impressive weight capacities are available?
The Detecto In-Bed Scale is constructed from sturdy steel and offers two robust maximum capacity options designed for reliable measurement in clinical environments:
- Standard Capacity: Up to 500 lb (255 kg).
- Heavy-Duty Capacity: Up to 800 lb (350 kg).
These capacities are available across different configurations of the scale (such as fixed or adjustable base models) to meet the needs of various healthcare settings and non-ambulatory patients.
Does the Detecto In-Bed Scale connect to electronic medical records (EMR/EHR)?
Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scale is EMR/EHR ready. It features an RS232 serial port for data integration with computers, printers, or other electronic devices.
Does the scale offer flexible power options?
Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scale offers flexible power options, ensuring usability in various clinical environments:
- Battery Operation: The scale operates using six AA batteries (not included), which provides portability and allows for use where wall outlets are not readily available.
- AC Adapter: An optional AC adapter can be used for continuous, long-term power without the need to rely on batteries.
Is the stretcher on the Detecto In-Bed Scale flame-retardant and antibacterial?
Yes, the stretcher is made from Sure-Check fabric, which is both flame-retardant and antibacterial, ensuring patient safety and hygiene.
Does the included stretcher have antibacterial and flame-retardant properties?
Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scale comes equipped with a specialized Sure-Check stretcher material, designed to meet stringent clinical hygiene and safety standards. The stretcher is engineered with the following key features:
- Antibacterial: The material helps ensure exceptional cleanliness for bed-bound patients.
- Flame-Retardant: This provides an essential safety feature for medical environments.
- Material Details: It is made from durable 44XL fabric and has a length of 72 inches (180 cm).
What is the warranty period for the Detecto In-Bed Scale?
The Detecto In-Bed Scale comes with a 2-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
Is the Detecto In-Bed Scale ideal for bed-bound patients?
Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scale is specifically engineered for weighing patients who are confined to their beds. This design minimizes disturbance to the patient and reduces physical strain on caregivers, making it ideal for hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities.
Does the Detecto In-Bed Scale have locking casters?
Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scale is equipped with locking rear casters for enhanced stability and safety.
Does the Detecto In-Bed Scale feature a hydraulic lift?
Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scale features a hydraulic lift mechanism that allows you to easily raise the stretcher a few inches from the patient’s bed. This design simplifies patient transfer and weighing, reducing strain for caregivers and ensuring comfort for the patient.
What is the necessary under-bed clearance?
The Detecto In-Bed Scale is designed with a low-profile base to maximize compatibility with various patient beds. The minimum required under-bed clearance is 4.8 inches (12 cm). This measurement allows the scale’s base to slide fully beneath the bed structure, ensuring the hydraulic lift mechanism is correctly positioned for safe and accurate patient transfer and weighing.
