Description
The Doran DS500 Flat Digital Scale turns on with a single tap of its tempered glass platform. A 2 in backlit LCD shows the reading at a glance, and the low 0.75 in profile stores almost anywhere. Home health nurses and small clinics that need a quick, dependable floor scale get 400 lb of capacity in a footprint barely larger than a floor tile.
- Tap Auto-On – One tap wakes the scale, so weighing starts without bending to find a switch.
- Heavy Duty Tempered Glass – The 12 in by 12 in glass platform supports up to 400 lb and wipes clean in seconds.
- Mother Baby Weighing – A dedicated mode weighs a baby held in a caregiver arms, which extends the scale to infant checks.
- Two Inch Backlit Numerals – Large lit digits read clearly in dim rooms, which helps early morning rounds.
A Low-Profile Floor Scale for Fast Daily Weigh-Ins
The DS500 keeps setup to a single tap, then holds an accurate weight up to 400 lb in 0.2 lb graduations. Its tempered glass platform sits just 0.75 in high, so patients step up with almost no lift and staff can slide the scale under a counter or bed between uses. Two AAA batteries power about 3,000 weighments, which means months of daily checks before a battery change. The display switches between lb and kg from the same unit, so home health documentation in either unit stays simple. For visiting care and compact exam spaces, this flat scale delivers a full-size reading from a minimal footprint.
Features and Benefits
Everyday Operation
- Auto-On Platform – The scale wakes when a patient taps the glass, which removes a step from every weigh-in.
- Backlit LCD Display – The two inch numerals stay readable in low light, which supports early and late visits.
- Lb and Kg Display – Staff switch units on the scale, so charts in either system match the reading.
Design and Power
- Tempered Glass Platform – Heavy duty glass forms the 12 in by 12 in weighing surface and resists stains and moisture.
- Battery Life of 3,000 Weighments – Two AAA batteries are included, and the long cycle count stretches service intervals.
- Slim 0.75 in Height – The low step-up is gentle for patients with limited mobility, and storage takes minimal space.
