Doran Handrail Scale

Yes, the Doran Handrail Scale is designed to be EMR-ready (Electronic Medical Record) to facilitate accurate and seamless data transfer into clinical systems. The available connectivity options depend on the specific model:

• Standard Wired Connectivity: EMR-ready models, including the DS7040 and DS7060, come standard with RS-232 and USB ports for reliable data output.
• Optional Wireless Connectivity: WiFi capability is available as an option on the DS7040 model for wireless EMR integration.

Yes, the Doran Handrail Scale is specifically engineered with patient safety and stability as primary design features, making it ideal for clinical settings where patients may be ambulatory or require assistance. Safety is ensured through several key components:

• Secure Handrail: The handrail is robustly constructed and positioned at an ideal height, providing reliable support for patients throughout the weighing procedure.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: The use of durable materials, such as painted steel and aluminum, ensures the scale provides a stable, dependable foundation.
• Non-Skid Platform: On select models (like the DS7040 and DS7060), the platform surface is covered edge-to-edge with a high-quality non-skid surface to maximize foot grip and prevent accidental slips.
• Weight Lock Technology: Doran’s exclusive feature guarantees measurement reliability by stabilizing the reading and compensating for patient movement, ensuring an accurate weight is locked and displayed, even if the patient is unsteady.

Yes, the Doran Handrail Scale is specifically engineered for high durability and exceptional portability in demanding clinical settings. It features a heavy-duty design to ensure longevity.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: The scale is built to withstand rigorous daily use, utilizing materials like painted steel and aluminum (depending on the model variant).
• Effortless Portability: Transporting the scale between rooms is simple. It includes two built-in, non-marking wheels. You only need to tilt the unit back to engage the wheels and roll it safely without damaging floors.

Yes, an integrated BMI calculator is available on select models within the Doran Handrail Scale series.

This feature allows for the immediate calculation of the patient’s Body Mass Index (BMI). When using this functionality, the scale supports height inputs in both:

• Imperial Units: Feet/Inches (FT/IN)
• Metric Units: Centimeters (CM)

This calculator helps to streamline clinical workflows and ensure comprehensive patient data documentation.

The Doran Handrail Scale is a heavy-duty medical device designed for demanding clinical environments that require reliable accuracy and enhanced patient support. It is ideally suited for:

• Hospitals and Clinics: Its exclusive “Weight Lock” feature guarantees accurate readings even if the patient moves, enhancing clinical reliability.
• Long-Term Care and Rehabilitation Centers: The securely placed handrail offers essential stability, making the weighing process safer for frail or unsteady patients.
• Urgent Care and Physician Offices: Provides a durable and professional solution for consistent data capture.

This scale’s heavy-duty construction ensures durability, and its built-in, non-marking wheels allow for easy portability between rooms.

The Doran Handrail Scale is engineered to provide precise, reliable measurements in demanding clinical settings. Key features include:

• Exclusive Weight Lock Technology: This is the scale’s primary accuracy safeguard. It filters out patient motion, locking in a consistent and accurate reading even if the patient is unsteady or moving during the process.
• Sturdy Support: The integrated, heavy-duty handrails provide essential balance and stability for patients, helping them stay centered and still during the weigh-in.
• Non-Skid Platform: The edge-to-edge non-skid surface ensures the patient feels secure and stable while standing on the scale.
• Clear Visibility: The 1-inch tall, high-contrast LCD display allows for easy, accurate reading of the results, reducing the likelihood of human error.

For seamless clinical workflow, the scale also supports EMR integration via RS-232 and USB (with optional WiFi on select models) to minimize manual data entry errors, and provides an integrated BMI calculation function for comprehensive patient assessments.

Yes, the Doran Handrail Scale offers versatile configurations tailored to various clinical needs, focusing on safety, accuracy, and data integration. This adaptability is a primary selling point.

Key configuration options and features include:

• Connectivity (EMR Ready): Standard EMR-ready communication is available via RS-232 and USB. For wireless data transmission, optional WiFi capability is offered on select models (like the DS7040).
• Assessment Tools: Configurations support comprehensive patient assessment through an integrated BMI Calculator (accepting FT/IN or CM input) and the option for an integrated Height Bar.
• Design Options: The scale offers various handrail configurations, including Waist High Handrail and different construction materials, ranging from painted steel to aluminum and painted steel combinations for heavy-duty use.
• Accuracy Technology: All versions feature Doran’s exclusive Weight Lock function, which ensures stable and accurate readings even if the patient moves during measurement.
• Portability: The design includes two built-in, non-marking wheels, allowing for easy relocation between rooms.

Yes, all models of the Doran Handrail Scale come equipped with an AC adapter for reliable power in clinical settings. Select models (such as the DS7040 and DS7060) offer additional flexibility by supporting battery operation, allowing for use in areas where a wall outlet is not easily accessible.

The Doran Handrail Scale is proudly made in the USA, ensuring high-quality manufacturing and reliable performance.

To ensure the longevity of your scale, you can maintain the platform using standard medical equipment cleaning protocols.

• Keep it dry: It is important to keep the weighing platform dry to protect the internal sensors.
• Safe surfaces: The unit features an edge-to-edge non-skid surface designed for durability, which is compatible with typical clinical cleaning solutions used in high-traffic healthcare environments.
