Frequently asked questions
Does this scale have a high weight capacity?
Yes, the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 Oversized Wheelchair Scale offers a high weighing capacity of up to 1,000 lb (454 kg). This allows it to accommodate a wide range of patients.
What are the oversized platform dimensions?
The oversized platform measures 28.25” x 29.25” x 3.25” (72 cm x 74 cm x 8.3 cm). This substantial size, combined with its low-profile and stable design, provides exceptional accessibility for patients seated in wheelchairs or standing, helping to minimize the risk of falls during use.
Is the scale portable and cordless?
Yes, the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 features a cordless, portable design suitable for flexible use across various clinical settings.
Powering options depend on the configuration chosen:
- Cordless Use: It can be operated entirely on six (6) D alkaline batteries.
- AC Power: The scale can also use a medical-grade, UL-listed external power supply, which is included in specific configurations that utilize a power cord.
Is the oversized platform wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 is specifically designed for high accessibility and safety, making it ideal for weighing patients in wheelchairs or those with limited mobility. The scale accommodates both seated and standing individuals.
Key features that maximize accessibility include:
- Oversized Platform: Measuring 28.25” x 29.25”, the platform provides generous space for standard and oversized wheelchairs.
- Low-Profile Design: The low-profile, stable platform (only 3.25” high) is designed to facilitate easy roll-on access and enhance patient safety by helping to prevent falls.
- High Capacity: It features a robust 1,000 lb (454 kg) weighing capacity, making it suitable for high-volume clinical settings and bariatric patients.
Is the weight display bright and selectable?
Yes, the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 is equipped with a high-visibility display designed for quick and accurate readings in clinical settings.
- Display Type: The scale utilizes a large, bright light-emitting diode (LED) display for excellent visibility.
- Unit Selection: Clinicians can easily select the unit to display the weight in either pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg). An indicator light confirms the unit currently selected.
- Resolution: The scale provides precise measurements with a factory default resolution of 0.1 lb (100 g).
Are there different configurations?
Yes, the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 offers several configurations tailored to fit specific clinical workflows. These options are available across three main feature areas:
- Weight Units: You can select models that display weight in both Pounds (Lb) and Kilograms (Kg) or those that display in Kilograms Only (Kg).
- Power Source: Choose between cordless Battery Power (runs on six D alkaline batteries) or continuous operation via the medical-grade external power supply (Power Cord).
- Data Output: Configurations can include a Data Port for integration, an Integrated Printer for hard-copy documentation, or neither of these options.
Does the scale streamline patient weighing?
Yes, the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 is specifically designed to maximize operational efficiency and maintain continuous patient flow in demanding clinical environments.
Key features that streamline the weighing process include:
- Continuous Weighing: The scale never requires zeroing, allowing immediate and continuous patient weighing without setup time.
- Quick Recall: It retains the last weight reading in memory even after the patient has left the platform, simplifying documentation.
- Fast Reweighs: Clinicians can perform rapid reweighs while the patient remains on the low-profile platform.
- Clear Readout: Measurements are displayed on a large, bright LED display with selectable units (pounds or kilograms) and a high default resolution of 0.1 lb (100 g).
Are handrails included with the scale?
No, the safety handrails are not included with the base unit of the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702.
- Handrails (part #60224) are an optional accessory and must be purchased separately.
- The scale is designed for accessibility and stability, featuring a low-profile, stable platform with integrated ramps to enhance patient safety and help prevent falls.
Which clinical settings use this scale?
The Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 is specifically engineered for demanding clinical settings that require high-capacity, highly accessible patient weighing. It is designed to maximize patient safety and clinical efficiency, making it ideal for environments such as:
- Hospitals and Bariatric Units: Handles patients up to 1,000 lb (454 kg), accommodating large or wheelchair-bound individuals.
- Rehabilitation Centers: The oversized, low-profile, stable platform minimizes fall risks and ensures easy access for patients with limited mobility.
- Long-Term Care Facilities: Features like cordless portability and the Quick Recall function (retains the last reading) streamline patient throughput and allow for efficient care management.
Operational benefits, such as never requiring zeroing and allowing quick reweighs while the patient is still on the scale, further support busy clinical workflows.
Is this scale designed for portability?
Yes, the Welch Allyn Scale-Tronix 6702 features a cordless, portable design suitable for flexible use and movement within clinical environments.
Its operational flexibility is supported by:
- Cordless Operation: The scale is designed to function without being tethered to a wall outlet.
- Dual Power Source: It can be powered efficiently by six D alkaline batteries or via the included medical-grade external power supply (AC adapter).
