February 15, 2022 – DETECTO manufactures two stretcher scale models for ED, Dialysis, Long-Term Care, and Nursing Homes, available in models 8500 with remote indicator and 8550 with column-mounted indicator. The stretcher scales feature a spacious, low-profile platform that accommodates all common stretcher types, two integral wheels and guide handles for mobility, and steel construction for optimal durability.
These high-capacity digital scales provide precision weighing for patients in stretchers, gurneys, or wheelchairs. The scales feature 800 lb/360 kg capacity, optional Wi-Fi for EMR/EHR, two-way built-in ramps for accessibility from both sides, spacious 60 in x 32.5 in/152 cm x 83 cm platform, clinical-grade accuracy to 0.2 lb/0.1 kg, battery or AC power, and up to 99 tares (optional) to store stretcher weights for efficient patient weighing.
The single-pass weighing feature saves time by allowing you to enter the stretcher or wheelchair tare weight using the numeric keypad on the indicator. You may also use the convenient pushbutton tare feature to remove the stretcher or wheelchair weight if you don’t know the weight already.
