Detecto 7150-AC — ADA-Compliant Wheelchair Scale

The Cardinal Detecto 7150-AC is a roll-on wheelchair scale built around two priorities: accessibility compliance and legal-for-trade accuracy. With updated ADA accessibility standards carrying an August 9, 2026 compliance deadline, facilities upgrading their diagnostic equipment need a scale that satisfies accessibility requirements without giving up clinical precision — and the 7150-AC is NTEP certified for exactly that reason.

Accessibility starts at the ramp. Gentle 1:8 slopes rest flat on the floor so patients can roll on without a lip or lift, and the 40-inch platform gives ample room to position a chair squarely before weighing. Integrated side guide rails help keep the chair tracking straight and add reassurance during entry and exit, while the low 2-inch platform height keeps the step-up minimal for ambulatory patients as well.

Day to day, the 7150-AC keeps things simple. Single-pass weighing with push-button tare lets staff subtract the chair and capture the patient weight in one motion, BMI calculates on board, and RS232, USB, and optional Ethernet or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth push results straight into the EMR. The 19-key color-coded sealed membrane keypad and large 7/8" weight digits keep operation readable and quick in a busy hallway.

When the scale isn't in use, the column collapses with a quick-release lever and the frame folds down to just 11.4 inches deep, rolling out of the way on two integral transport wheels. It arrives 90% assembled, so setup is measured in minutes rather than hours.
