National Healthcare Facilities & Engineering Week

October 23rd through 29th, 2022 is National Healthcare Facilities & Engineering Week. At the end of October each year, this week is meant to highlight the critical work of healthcare facilities professionals and engineers through events and outreach. The theme of this year’s event is “Collaboration is Key,” emphasizing the importance of working together in the healthcare industry to achieve the best outcomes for patients. 

We at Befour celebrate these professionals year round through our commitment to providing highly functional and efficient healthcare scales. Our reliable scales are made with accuracy and convenience in mind to support consistent patient care, as well as assisting healthcare professionals in their work on a daily basis. Below, we explore some of the aspects of Befour scales that put them a grade above the rest. 

Arrival & Set Up

When a scale or any other type of medical equipment requires a complicated and time-consuming set up process, there are many downfalls that ensue. In addition to costing the hospital money, a frustrating set up will take time away from other important endeavors, work tasks, and even time with patients. 

Befour’s commitment to convenience for healthcare professionals starts with the simplified arrival and set up process for our medical scales. Most scale models will arrive fully assembled, simply screw in the provided leveling feet to the platform and insert the four D-cell alkaline batteries. Then you are ready to weigh! As a convenience, a set of batteries are included with every scale model.  

Routine Maintenance

In addition to a streamlined approach to set up, Befour scales are designed to be easy to use and maintain. We have engineered all Befour scales to maximize convenience and reduce unneeded downtime. For example, the battery tray is located in the display console at waist height. Battery replacement does not consist of turning the scale over to access the bottom of the platform as other brands might require. 

Additionally, if you find that you require support or troubleshooting with your Befour scale, your team can contact our senior engineers. We offer one-on-one complimentary assistance with the purchase of all of our medical scales. This extra support is not limited to a set duration in time, but rather, for the life of the scale.    

Access To Repairs

In addition to minor troubleshooting needs, Befour is committed to providing healthcare staff with convenient access to repairs if needed. First, for increased peace of mind, we offer warranties that are 3 years in length, as opposed to the standard 1 or 2 you will find from many other medical scale providers. 

In the rare event that you do encounter a problem with one of our scales, you can simply remove the display console and ship it to us. This approach differs from most medical equipment providers who require shipment of the entire device, a costly and time-consuming endeavor. In our scales, the main programming components, such as calibration, are all located in the display console.

Superior Longevity

Last but not least, our scales are designed and built to last. On average, our scales experience 20 years of efficient use. This is why we can offer extended warranties and access to so many support options. Our scales are engineered for longevity even when used continuously, on a daily basis, in robust environments.

You can rest assured that a Befour scale is a solid investment for your hospital or clinical setting. With attention to detail and care in construction, a Befour scale will last longer, are easy to use, and simple to maintain. Additionally, less time spent fixing and servicing your scales equates to less downtime for healthcare facilities staff and bio-med teams.
