Safe Patient Handling 
Gold Rollboards 
A Breakthrough Antimicrobial Scale Engineered for Accessibility, Safety, and Modern Clinical Environments
McCook, IL – February 18, 2026 – Pelstar LLC, the manufacturer of Health o meter® Professional Scales, proudly announces the launch of the ADA Compliant 2920KL-AM Antimicrobial Wall-Mounted Fold-Up Wheelchair Scale, a next-generation solution designed to meet the latest Medical Diagnostic Equipment (MDE) Standards for Accessible Equipment.
The 2920KL-AM has been awarded Platinum Certification from Corada, providing independent third-party verification that the scale complies with the U.S. Access Board’s standards for medical diagnostic equipment, specific to stand-on weight scales. This certification offers facilities added confidence and peace of mind when selecting accessible equipment.
The 2920KL-AM offers a unique combination of ADA compliance, antimicrobial protection, and space-saving engineering. Equipped with a 32” x 40” oversized platform, the scale accommodates virtually any wheelchair size. A 2” front edge guard prevents mobility devices from rolling off the platform, while the dual on/off ramps also feature 2” edge guards and a 1:8 gentle slope, ensuring safe, smooth, and accessible entry and exit.
Key Features and Advantages
- Antimicrobial Surface: Built-in antimicrobial protection enhances infection control and supports safer clinical environments.
- Space-Saving Fold-Up Design: Folds to just 4.7 inches from the wall—ideal for high-traffic or smaller facilities.
- Caregiver-Friendly Functionality: Easy-to-lift weighing platform with a recessed handle for smooth and safe operation.
- EMR Connectivity: Standard USB connectivity with optional Pelstar® wireless technology for streamlined data transfer.
- High Capacity: Accurately weighs patients up to 1,000 lb / 454 kg.
- Flexible Display Mounting: Digital display can be installed on either the left or right side to meet situational or facility needs.
Using fully compliant equipment is essential not only for patient safety but also for regulatory protection. The 2920KL-AM aligns with ADA and MDE standards enforced by the Department of Justice, helping facilities prevent accessibility-related violations and ensuring inclusive patient care.
Scott Gottman, Senior Director of Marketing and Product Development at Pelstar LLC, emphasized the product’s mission-driven design: "The 2920KL-AM was engineered to support clinicians while dramatically improving the weighing experience for wheelchair users. Its antimicrobial features, space-saving profile, and ADA compliance reflect our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that enhance safety, accessibility, and efficiency across all types of healthcare settings."
