Maintaining accurate records of clinical waste from collection to incineration is an important part of providing total traceability for healthcare facility managers. Truck and deck scales are often used to carefully manage the disposal of waste in healthcare facilities, while indicators can be paired with back-office systems for record keeping and analysis.
Overview
Scales and weighing systems are a critical part of the healthcare sector. Weighing plays a big role in facility management, in particular the weighing and management of clinical waste.
Often used in the management of obesity of other medical conditions, patient weighing requires scales are accurate and reliable, robust enough to withstand daily use, and compact enough to transport into and around a hospital or surgery. Our high-resolution scales and systems are precise enough for use in laboratories, taking accurate measurements for tasks like quality control, formulation and sample preparation.
Our weighing systems, paired with sophisticated weighing indicators, can provide accurate data and traceability in hospitals and medical centers.
Weighing patients is a daily activity in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and healthcare centres. Scales must be robust enough to withstand frequent use, be easy to clean down, and compact enough to transport around the building when required. In particular, bariatric clinics are in high demand, meaning weighing systems must operate with minimal downtime for maintenance.
In pharmaceutical laboratories, accuracy is critical for the safety of patients. They use analytical balances and high-resolution bench scales to provide highly accurate measurements for formulation, quality control and sample preparation.
Food waste must be carefully monitored so that healthcare facilities can understand and manage portion control, inventory levels and revenue. Weighing food waste also enables kitchen staff to arrange cost-effective transportation and disposal.
