Description
The Doran DS8150 Digital Chair Scale rolls to the patient on four full-swivel casters, then locks all four corners in place. Most chair scales lock only two casters, and the four corner system is what keeps this chair planted during transfers. Units weighing patients who cannot stand get a 550 lb chair with flip-up armrests and footrests for side entry.
- Four Corner Locking System – All four swivel casters lock, which exceeds the two-caster locking common on chair scales.
- Anti-Tip Bar – A bar at the footrest base prevents the chair from tipping forward as patients enter, exit, or lean.
- Flip-Up Armrests and Footrests – Arms and footrests fold away, so patients can slide in from a bed or wheelchair side.
- WiFi Configuration Available – The WiFi build sends weight and BMI to the EMR without a cable.
A Chair Scale That Locks Down at All Four Corners
The DS8150 seat measures 22 in wide, and its powder coated steel frame carries patients up to 550 lb in 0.2 lb graduations. Staff roll the chair to the bedside, press the caster locking arms down, and weigh the patient where they already are. Weight Lock holds the reading through patient movement, and Reweigh captures a second value with the patient still seated. BMI calculates on the indicator from scroll-entered height, and USB plus RS-232 ports carry results to the record. Battery operation returns about 30,000 weighments, the longest battery service in the Doran scale line.

- Hinged Footrests – Footrests fold up for entry and exit, then support the patient feet during the reading.

Why Choose the Four-Corner Locking DS8150
A chair scale that creeps during a transfer is a fall risk at the exact moment the patient is most exposed. The DS8150 locks all four casters, adds an anti-tip bar, and rolls to the patient instead of moving the patient, backed by a two year warranty.
- Weigh at the Bedside – The rolling chair comes to the patient, which removes a transfer to a platform scale.
- Two Year Warranty – Doran covers the DS8150 for two years of clinical service.
- Longest Battery Service – 30,000 weighments per battery set keeps the chair in service across the ward.
- Side Transfer Access – Flip-up arms and footrests open the chair side, which matches bed and wheelchair transfer technique.
