DORAN
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DORAN from 3G Electric.
What is the readability of DORAN physician scales like the DS5200 and DS6200?
The DORAN DS5200 and DS6200 digital physician scales offer a readability of 0.2 lb or 0.1 kg. This means the smallest increment displayed is 0.2 pounds or 0.1 kilograms, depending on the selected weighing unit. Both models feature a 14-inch wide by 18-inch deep weighing surface and include a column-mounted or corded remote indicator. The DS5200 includes a rechargeable battery, while the DS6200 includes a USB cable. These scales are designed for clinical environments where precise patient weight measurement is required.
Are DORAN bench scales suitable for washdown environments?
Some DORAN bench scales, such as the 7050XL/12, carry an IP69K rating, which indicates protection against high-pressure, high-temperature washdown. This makes them suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, or other hygienic industrial environments. The 7050XL/12 features a 12 by 12 inch stainless steel weighing surface, 50 lb capacity, and 0.01 lb or 5 g readability. It also includes an RS-232 port for data communication. Other DORAN bench scales may not have an IP rating, so buyers should verify the specific model's specifications for their application.
What connectivity options do DORAN scales offer for data integration?
DORAN scales provide various connectivity options depending on the model. The DS5250 and DS6200 physician scales include USB cables for data transfer. The DS6150 includes a corded remote indicator and AC adapter. Industrial bench scales like the 7050XL/12 and 1200-MSP2250 feature RS-232 ports, which allow connection to computers, printers, or other peripherals for data logging and integration into existing systems. These options facilitate electronic medical records (EMR) compliance for physician scales and process data collection for industrial applications.
What is the difference between DORAN mechanical and digital physician scales?
DORAN mechanical physician scales, such as the DS2100, use a traditional beam and sliding weight mechanism to measure weight, offering 100 g readability and a 10.5 by 14.5 inch platform. They do not require batteries or power. Digital physician scales, like the DS5100, DS5200, DS5250, DS6150, and DS6200, use electronic load cells and provide digital readouts with finer readability (0.1 lb or 0.05 kg on some models). They may include features like rechargeable batteries, USB or RS-232 connectivity, and EMR compliance. The choice depends on the required precision, data output needs, and power availability.
What are the weighing surface dimensions for DORAN physician scales?
DORAN physician scales come with various weighing surface dimensions. The DS5100 has a 13 by 15 inch surface. The DS5200, DS5250, and DS6200 feature a 14 by 18 inch surface. The DS6150 has a 15 by 12 inch surface. The mechanical DS2100 has a 10.5 by 14.5 inch surface. These dimensions accommodate different patient sizes and clinical space constraints. Larger surfaces provide more room for patients, while smaller surfaces may be suitable for pediatric or space-limited settings. Buyers should consider the intended patient population and available space when selecting a model.
Do DORAN scales meet EMR standards?
Several DORAN digital physician scales, including the DS5100, DS5200, DS5250, and DS6200, are listed as meeting EMR standards. This indicates they are designed to facilitate integration with electronic medical record systems, often through USB or RS-232 connectivity. The DS6150 is CE certified. Buyers should verify the specific compliance requirements of their facility and confirm that the chosen model's features align with those needs. 3G Electric provides datasheets and specifications to assist in this evaluation.
