It's time for our next FAQ!

Question: What is movement compensation, and why is it important?

Answer: Movement compensation is technology within a medical scale that helps deliver an accurate weight reading even if the patient shifts or moves slightly during the weighing process.

This is especially important when weighing pediatric, elderly, or unsteady patients who may have difficulty standing completely still. DETECTO scales with movement compensation help ensure consistent, reliable measurements while improving safety and workflow efficiency in clinical environments.

FAQ: Can DETECTO scales interface with EMR/EHR systems?

Answer: Yes, many DETECTO scales are designed to integrate with electronic medical record (EMR) systems, allowing patient weight data to be transmitted directly into digital records via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HL7, and serial output.

This helps reduce manual data entry, supports accurate documentation, and improves workflow efficiency for clinical staff. Integration options vary by model and software environment, so DETECTO offers multiple connectivity solutions to fit different healthcare systems.

Up next in our ongoing FAQ series:

FAQ: Why are handrails important on medical scales?

Answer: In many healthcare environments, handrails are required or strongly recommended to support patient accessibility, especially for individuals with limited mobility or balance challenges.

Regulations and accessibility standards for patient-use medical equipment increasingly emphasize features that help all patients use devices safely and independently. Including handrails not only supports compliance efforts, but also creates a safer, more accessible weighing experience for patients and caregivers alike.

As we wind down 2025, we’re proud to reflect on a truly special milestone – DETECTO’s 125th anniversary. 125 years of precision, durability, and trust.

From our roots in Brooklyn, NY, to today’s manufacturing home in Webb City, MO, this year was about honoring where we’ve been and the people who helped get us here. Over the past 125 years, DETECTO has grown from mechanical dial scales to industry-leading medical and commercial foodservice solutions trusted around the world.

This milestone year wouldn’t have been possible without our employees, reps, and customers who continue to believe in what we build and why we build it. As we wrap up 2025, we’re proud of the legacy behind us and energized for everything still ahead.

Here’s to 125 years strong - and continuing to move forward with the same commitment to accuracy that started it all in the new year!
