Cord-Free Charging for Mobile Medical Stations

Astrodyne TDI now offers a wall docking system that converts medical carts and vital sign monitors into cord-free chargeable devices. MediParc eliminates power cords from mobile medical devices, while improving safety (nothing to trip over) and ergonomics (no bending down). Designed to comply with UL498, and integrate into UL60601-3rd Ed mobile powered carts, this unique wall docking station is easy to use and makes charging carts effortless. MediParc's wall mount features a 12" wide by 3.5" deep connection for safe and flexible docking that easily adapts to a building's existing infrastructure. The system is rated for 10A at 125V and offers an integrated GFCI for added safety.

Joe DeLuca, vice president marketing and sales, Astrodyne TDI said, “With MediParc’s revolutionary design, the charging process is activated by simply pushing a cart or a vital sign monitor against a wall and engaging it into the docking station. That’s it. No fuss.”

MediParc is a patented pending technology that is designed for use with a variety of portable devices including vital sign monitors, ultrasound machines, hospital beds and electrical stretchers, as well as other medical devices that require a more user friendly solution for battery charging. Its design adapts to both OEM and after market applications.

“Oftentimes, with the hustle and bustle of the healthcare environment, the task of plugging an AC line cord into a wall outlet is overlooked. This not only limits the cart’s operational time, but may render it inoperable because there is no battery power left. The MediParc system solves this problem,” said DeLuca.

Three different configurations include a metal raceway installation where the wall mount is connected to an outlet outside the wall; through the wall installation having all wiring for the wall mount hidden behind the wall; or as part of a new electrical installation.
