Automated Weight Adapter for Medical Stretchers
There are many emergency situations when it is critical to know the patient’s weight in order to administer proper medication dosages, and at the same time not move the patient to a separate scale. Emergency personnel often have to guess the patient’s weight, rely on reports of others, or move the patient to another scale in order to weigh them. Most existing ambulance stretchers do not have a weight measurement device built into them. The ones that do and are available commercially are prohibitively expensive for most municipalities and ambulance services.
49% of all medication errors in hospitals are a result of wrong weights estimates of patients.
WEIT4U is a cost effective adapter that can be attached to any existing medical stretcher or wheelchair that does not have its own capability to measure patient weight.
Completely wireless operation including charging.
Customers can perform a self-install or have it installed as a service on site.
