February 27, 2025- Pelstar LLC, the manufacturer of Health o meter® Professional Scales, announces the latest addition to its extensive line of wheelchair scales, the new 2620KL Digital Wheelchair Scale with Dual Ramps and Extra-Large Platform. The only wheelchair scale in the market that meets the new MDE Standards for Accessible Medical Diagnostic Equipment. The scale includes critical features that meet ADA safety requirements such as a large 32” x 40” platform, a 2” high platform front edge guard, and dual 1:8 sloped ramps with 2” edge guards.
In addition to the new scale, Health o meter® Professional Scales also developed an ADA compliant retrofit kit, available as 2600ADAKIT, for facilities that already utilize 2600KL or 2610KL series scales. The kit provides new components to modify an existing scale and bring it into compliance with the new MDE standards. Utilizing these new scale products not only provide a safer and more comfortable patient weighing experience, they also ensure compliance with ADA rules that mandate facilities utilize equipment that meets certain accessibility standards, which is enforced by the Department of Justice. The new 2620KL and 2600ADAKIT are available for purchase exclusively through Health o meter® Professional Scales authorized distributors.
