Designed for fast, accurate and heavy-capacity patient weighing, the Detecto IB600 scale features a flame retardant, antibacterial, self-deodorizing stretcher which is placed under the patient and hydraulically lifted inches from the bed. The touch of a button gives a digital readout of the patient's weight. Dual tare functions let the user subtract the weight of bedding. Safety features include locking casters and lockable base widening stance for stability. The scale comes with the new 758C digital weight indicator that includes a standard serial port for data output to a printer or a PC-based EMR (electronic medical record) software program. With the new time/date feature, the scale can send the weight, time, date, BMI (Body Mass Index) and height directly to a printer or a PC.
