Detecto In-Bed Scales

The Detecto In-Bed Scales are specifically engineered for use in demanding medical environments where precise weight monitoring is critical. They are an ideal choice for high-acuity settings, including:

• Intensive Care Units (ICU)
• Coronary Care Units (CCU)
• Geriatric Wards
• Surgical and Burn Care Environments

These scales incorporate key features essential for critical patient safety and infection control:

• Enhanced Safety: Stability is maximized using locking rear casters and a robust base widening stance during operation and patient transfer.
• Hygienic Design: The stretcher uses Thermoplastic Staph Check™ fabric to facilitate improved infection control and easy cleaning.
• Accurate Readings: The advanced LCD digital indicator features a motion detector to stabilize readings, ensuring accuracy even if the patient moves.

The Detecto In-Bed Scales are engineered with several integrated features specifically designed to maximize patient stability and operator safety during critical monitoring:

• Base Widening Stance: This mechanism allows the scale’s footprint to be expanded, significantly enhancing stability during patient transfers and weighing.
• Locking Rear Casters: These casters firmly secure the scale in position, preventing any accidental shifting or movement while the scale is in use.
• Hydraulic Lift Mechanism: Provides smooth, controlled lifting and lowering, which minimizes sudden movements that could compromise patient comfort or safety.
• Motion Detector: The advanced digital indicator includes a motion detection feature to help stabilize the display and lock in accurate weight readings, even if the patient exhibits slight movement.

The Detecto In-Bed Scales feature an advanced LCD digital indicator designed to enhance efficiency and accuracy in critical care settings. It includes several robust functions for comprehensive patient monitoring:

• Motion Detector: Ensures stable and accurate readings even if the patient moves slightly.
• Zeroing Control: Provides controls for auto/manual zero to ensure quick and precise preparation before use.
• Display Management: A lock/release display function allows clinicians to easily hold and record the patient’s final weight.
• Power Saving Modes: To conserve energy, the indicator automatically utilizes auto sleep mode and auto power shut off.

The indicator is standardly powered by six “D” cell alkaline batteries, with an optional 115 VAC power adapter available for continuous operation.

The Detecto In-Bed Scales are built for professional medical environments and offer two robust maximum weight capacity options:

• 500 lb
• 800 lb

These high capacities ensure the scales are suitable for demanding critical care settings, including intensive care, coronary care, geriatric, surgical, and burn care units, providing accurate measurements for a wide range of patients.

Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scales primarily operate on six “D” cell alkaline batteries, providing the flexibility required for mobile use in intensive and critical care environments. This portability is a key benefit.

For stationary use or continuous power, a 115 VAC power adapter is available as an optional configuration.

The digital indicator also includes features designed to maximize battery life:

• Auto sleep mode
• Auto power shut off

Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scales utilize a specialized, hygienic fabric crucial for critical care environments. The scale features Thermoplastic Staph Check™ stretcher fabric.

This material is specifically designed to meet stringent clinical hygiene standards, promoting infection control in settings such as intensive care, coronary, surgical, geriatric, and burn units. Its durable construction also ensures ease of cleaning and maintenance.

Yes, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity are available as optional features, depending on the specific model configuration selected.

The availability of these modern connectivity options allows for easier data management within critical care environments.

When ordering, you can configure the scale based on other needs, including:

• Capacity: Choose between 500 lb or 800 lb maximum weight capacity.
• Leg Style: Options for adjustable or fixed legs.
• Power: You can include the optional 115 VAC power adapter (the scale primarily runs on 6 ‘D’ cell alkaline batteries).

Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scales are designed with flexibility in mind and are available in different configurations regarding the leg style.

Shoppers can choose models with either:

• Adjustable Leg Style
• Fixed Leg Style

This option allows you to select the model best suited for the stability and setup requirements of your specific clinical setting.

Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scales are specifically engineered for critical care environments, integrating multiple features to ensure maximum patient and operator safety.

Key stability and safety features include:

• Maximum Stability: The scale is designed with a base widening stance to ensure superior stability, particularly crucial during patient transfers and the weighing process.
• Secure Positioning: It utilizes locking rear casters to fully immobilize the scale, preventing any unwanted movement when the patient is being weighed.
• Controlled Weighing: The system employs a reliable hydraulic lift mechanism combined with an adjustable weighing arm for smooth and controlled operation.
• Infection Control: The stretcher uses Thermoplastic Staph Check™ fabric, which is essential for maintaining stringent hygiene standards in acute care settings.
• Accurate Measurement: The digital indicator also features a motion detector to maintain reading integrity even if the patient moves slightly.

Yes, the Detecto In-Bed Scale is designed with a hydraulic lift mechanism and an adjustable weighing arm.

This system is integrated to ensure smooth and controlled operation, which is critical for the safe and gentle weighing of patients in intensive, coronary, surgical, and burn care settings.
