There are various types of monitor carts on the market, and how to choose a suitable monitor cart has become a common problem for equipment managers.
Firstly, we should consider the core functions of the monitor cart, such as load-bearing capacity, as the monitor itself has a certain weight and may require the placement of other accessories, so load-bearing is the foundation. Then, size and compatibility are also important. Different brands and models of monitors have different sizes, and the trolley needs to be matched to avoid being unable to fit or unstable
Next, mobility and stability. The trolley needs to move flexibly in scenarios such as hospital wards and emergency departments, so the quality of the wheels is crucial, such as whether it comes with brakes, whether it is silent, and whether the material is suitable for different floors such as tiles and flooring. At the same time, do not shake when moving, otherwise it will affect the use of the monitor and even damage the equipment.
Next is the structural design, whether there is sufficient storage space, such as placing cables, sensors, recording paper and other accessories, so as to facilitate access by medical staff. Is the layered design reasonable, can the height be adjusted to accommodate medical staff of different heights, or different usage scenarios (such as bedside or transportation).
The material aspect is also very important. The medical environment needs to be cleaned and disinfected, so the material of the trolley should be resistant to disinfection, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, ABS plastic, etc., which are easy to clean and not prone to bacterial growth. Durability should also be considered, as the material needs to be sturdy and wear-resistant due to frequent use and movement.
Safety is also a key factor, such as whether there are guardrails to prevent the monitor from slipping, whether the wire management is reasonable, to avoid tripping medical staff or patients, whether the braking system is reliable, and to prevent accidental movement of the trolley.
In addition, special requirements such as compatibility with defibrillators, infusion pumps, and other devices, portability (snow folding design), and anti-static function (for certain precision equipment).
It may also be necessary to consider usage scenarios, such as ICU, general ward, emergency department, transportation, etc. Different scenarios have different requirements for carts. For example, during transportation, more lightweight and reliable braking are required, while ICU may require more storage space and compatibility with more equipment.
In summary, choosing a monitor cart requires comprehensive consideration from aspects such as load-bearing capacity, size compatibility, mobility and stability, structural design, materials, safety, special requirements, brand after-sales service, and cost. It is necessary to provide detailed explanations of these points, so that users can choose step by step according to their own needs.
