Ergo Dock – why?
Power*OTG have discovered that the health care facilities personnel is unsatisfied with some functionality elements of the Powered Medical Carts.
- Most hospital have deployed mobile electronic devices, medical record computers, IV pumps, vital sign data acquisition systems and similar on a mobile carts.
- Many of these carts use chargeable batteries to supply power to the on-board device(s).
- The discipline to ensure full charging of batteries, the status of the charge as well as the knowledge of a carts location often become problematic.
