Why Pick a Digital Stadiometer?

Cost is certainly a factor in picking a digital stadiometer for your clinic. But Dominus continues that the choice of a digital stadiometer reveals something even more complex. He writes, "I said a while back that it is a good idea to get in the habit of assuming that everything is more complex than you imagine. I think there is parallel advice here: assume that bad technical decisions are made rationally, for reasons that are not apparent." This is a great insight when thinking about digital stadiometers, medical equipment, a website, or even just a TV sitcom. The choices you make in your clinic or office when it comes to weighing and measuring devices are important. Visit QuickMedical for the best selection and the widest variety of choices in professional weighing and measuring equipment.

The manual stadiometers were always giving inaccurate readings and that they constantly had to have the service guys in to recalibrate them. The electronic stadiometer, she said, is much more reliable. 'But it's a really expensive stadiometer,' I said." "The service calls on the manual stadiometers were costing us a fortune."
