A wall docking system that converts medical carts and vital sign monitors into cord-free chargeable devices is now available from Astrodyne TDI. MediParc eliminates power cords from mobile medical devices, while improving safety and ergonomics. Designed to comply with UL498, and integrate into UL60601-3rd Ed mobile powered carts, the system is easy to use and makes charging carts effortless. 

The wall docking system is a patented pending technology that is suitable for use with a variety of portable devices including vital sign monitors, ultrasound machines, hospital beds and electrical stretchers. The system’s design adapts to both OEM and after market applications.

The wall mount features a 12x3.5” 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. The wall docking system can be installed in a metal raceway, through the wall or as part of a new electrical installation.

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.”

“Often, 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,” added DeLuca.
