Detecto MB130 Digital Pediatric Scale – Convertable Infant & Toddler High-Precision Medical Scale

Detecto MB130 Digital Pediatric Scale – Convertible High-Precision Infant and Toddler Weight Scale for Neonatal Intensive Care Units, Pediatric Clinics, and Well-Baby Stations

In pediatric healthcare practices, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and public health clinics, tracking subtle weight fluctuations in newborns and infants is critical for assessing nutritional intake, growth velocity, and early identification of dehydration or failure-to-thrive conditions. Conventional infant scales often lack the fine resolution required for accurate weight gain measurement, or they feature rigid, non-removable trays that become useless as infants transition into toddlers who prefer standing. Healthcare providers and clinical equipment buyers need a versatile, high-accuracy pediatric scale that adapts seamlessly to growing children while maintaining strict clinical precision.

The Detecto MB130 Digital Pediatric Scale solves this clinical adaptability challenge through a convertible 2-in-1 design featuring a contoured, comfortable infant tray that removes easily to reveal a low-profile standing toddler scale base. Engineered for precision weight tracking, the MB130 delivers exceptional dual-range accuracy (up to 0.005 kg / 0.1 oz for newborns) with built-in digital filtering to stabilize weight readouts even when active babies move. Equipped with an easy-to-read backlit LCD display, length measuring tape integrated into the tray, and dual power options (battery or AC adapter), this medical-grade scale equips pediatric teams with an efficient, long-lasting growth monitoring tool.

Key Benefits:

• 2-in-1 Convertible Design: Smoothly converts from a contoured infant scale to a standing toddler scale by removing the ergonomic baby tray.
• High-Precision Dual-Range Accuracy: Measures in fine 5-gram (0.1 oz) increments for infants up to 22 lbs, and 10-gram (0.2 oz) increments for toddlers up to 44 lbs.
• Movement Compensation Filtering: Advanced digital filtering technology stabilizes weight measurements rapidly, compensating for wriggling infants to ensure instant, reliable readouts.
• Integrated Length Measuring Tape: Features a built-in measuring ruler directly on the infant tray surface, allowing simultaneous length and weight assessment during wellness checkups.
• Clear Backlit LCD Display: Large 1-inch high digital numerals with blue backlighting provide high readability from any angle in busy clinical exam rooms.
• Dual Power Flexibility: Operates on a standard 9V battery for cordless mobile clinic use or via the included AC adapter for stationary examination room deployment.
• Hygienic Easy-Clean Surface: Smooth ABS plastic tray and base allow rapid wipe-down disinfection between patient visits using standard healthcare surface cleansers.
