Think Power when Purchasing Computer Carts

Think Power when Purchasing Computer Carts

I've been in the mobile computing cart business for eighteen years. With that kind of experience you might think I've heard or seen every mistake someone made in buying carts. While carts can be a great way to connect with patients, at the point of care, there are a number of real issues to consider when purchasing replacement computing carts, or buying new, for your facility.

Don't Charge Them in Hospital Hallways

Forget the fact that local fire marshals, those who enforce the guidelines of the ADA, Jacho review, and other governing agencies may find you guilty of a myriad of violations, it just doesn't make good sense to take up hallway space as a bad place to charge batteries on carts.

There are solutions for charging in hallways but one of the best is from Scott-Clark Medical in Burnet, TX. Scott-Clark's 24/7 power solution allows healthcare facilities to continually use mobile carts without plugging them in. What's good about this solution is that it's available for many brand name carts or can be purchased turn-key from the manufacturer.

If your in an industrial warehouse, or shipping, setting, the Scott-Clark solution is perfect for your mobile carts. When you need power 24/7 you can't compromise on quality. The Scott-Clark battery is made in the United States by Ultralife Corporation of Newark, NY.

Hospital Dirt Clogs Up Batteries

Most non-removable batteries are housed in the bottom of the mobile cart. Some have a fan which keeps the compartment cool, since it also houses electronic equipment for charging and maintaining the battery. That fan sucks up dirt from the floor and deposits it in the battery department.

If you're in a hospital setting you immediately understand the introduction of pathogens in an area that can't be disinfected. Not only the introduction of pathogens, but the cultivating of them in an area where they are being blown into the local atmosphere by a fan should be a concern.

Scott-Clark has a mountable battery that can be completely disinfected. There are no fans near the floor to introduce dirt and other unwanted substances into an non-cleanable area of the cart. If you are in industry, you understand how dirt build up can be a catalyst to equipment break down.

Scott-Clark's battery system is perfect for healthcare and industry in that it can be removed and cleaned.

How can you Hedge Against Future Improvements?

One very good way is to introduce Scott-Clark's power solution into your business. Scott-Clark designed the mobile cart around the battery in the same way that Tesla designed their vehicle around battery power. LiFEPO4 removable batteries with 35AH of power are the most robust and long-lasting of any battery designed for this purpose.

There are imitation batteries, but if the battery says Scott-Clark on it then you have confidence that it is the best in the industry. For more information contact me at:
