Description
The Doran DS5100 Digital Physician Scale starts itself the moment a patient steps onto the platform. Touchless Start captures a weight in as little as two seconds, and the built-in height rod turns that weight into a BMI on the spot. Busy physician offices that move patients through intake all day get height, weight, and BMI from one aluminum column station.
- Touchless Start – The scale activates when the patient steps on, so intake takes as little as two seconds per patient.
- Built-In BMI Calculator – Enter height with the scroll buttons and the index appears on the right-hand LCD, which closes the chart loop.
- Integrated Height Rod – The aluminum column houses a rod that pulls up for adults and pushes down for children.
- EMR Ready USB Port – Weight data transmits through the included USB port, which cuts manual transcription errors.
Touchless Weighing with Height and BMI at One Station
The DS5100 reads up to 500 lb in 0.1 lb graduations on dual one inch LCD displays. Four C batteries power roughly 20,000 weighments, so the scale runs for years of clinic days between battery changes. The height rod adjusts from 2 ft 7 in to 6 ft 10 in, covering child and adult measurement at the same column. Between patients, the right-hand display works as a 12 or 24 hour clock, and the scale resets itself the moment the patient steps off. For offices that chart BMI at intake, this station delivers the full measurement set without a second device.
Features and Benefits
Measurement Workflow
- Touchless Start – Stepping on the platform starts the weighing, which keeps gloved hands free and intake fast.
- BMI with Height Entry – Scroll buttons enter the height in ft/in or cm, and the BMI button shows the index instantly.
- Dual LCD Displays – Two one inch displays show weight and BMI side by side, which simplifies recording.
Design and Data
- Aluminum Column Height Rod – The rod extends for adult heights and lowers for children, so one rod serves the full panel.
- USB Data Port – The scale is EMR ready through its standard USB connection for direct record transfer.
- 20,000 Weighment Battery Life – Four included C batteries deliver long service, which reduces battery stocking.

Why Choose the DS5100 Physician Scale
Many digital physician scales make staff press buttons, wait for zero, and calculate BMI at a desk. The DS5100 removes those steps with Touchless Start and an on-scale BMI readout, and Doran backs the station with a three year warranty.
- Two Second Weighments – Touchless Start holds an accurate weight almost immediately, which keeps intake lines moving.
- Three Year Warranty – Coverage runs three years, a longer term than most physician scales in this class.
- Clock Display Between Patients – The idle display shows the time in 12 or 24 hour format, which adds utility at the station.
- Height Range for All Ages – The rod spans 2 ft 7 in to 6 ft 10 in, so pediatric and adult visits share one scale.
