The Marsden Adaptor Carry Case is a padded mountable case for Marsden scale power adaptors, addressing the common NHS ward issue of adaptor loss and misplacement that occurs when adaptors are stored separately from their scales in clinical drawers, equipment bags or shared storage areas. By mounting directly to the scale, its trolley or adjacent clinical furniture, the Adaptor Carry Case physically co-locates the adaptor with its designated scale at all times, eliminating the asset management overhead of tracking separately stored adaptors across busy ward clinical areas.
For NHS trusts managing multiple Marsden scales and adaptors across a ward or department, the Adaptor Carry Case is a low-cost operational efficiency measure that reduces replacement adaptor ordering, prevents scale downtime from missing adaptors and simplifies equipment checks at the start of each clinical shift.
| Specification | Detail |

| Compatibility | Universal, fits standard Marsden scale adaptors |
| Mounting | Attachable to scale, trolley or clinical furniture |
| Interior | Padded for adaptor protection |
| Clinical Benefit | Prevents adaptor loss, eliminates misplacement in shared areas |
| Asset Management | Co-locates adaptor with designated scale |
NHS clinical equipment asset management frameworks require that scales and their associated components are tracked and maintained as complete working units. Adaptors stored separately from their scales in shared clinical areas frequently become misassociated with the wrong scale model (which may use a different voltage or connector specification), lost during ward moves or temporarily unavailable when the scale requires mains power for a specific clinical deployment. The Adaptor Carry Case eliminates these scenarios through physical co-location, ensuring that each scale's correct adaptor is always present and accessible, supporting CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) equipment management requirements and NHS trust clinical equipment audit processes.
Does the Adaptor Carry Case fit all Marsden scale adaptor models?
The Adaptor Carry Case is designed as a universal case compatible with the range of standard Marsden scale adaptors. If your scale uses an unusually large or non-standard adaptor configuration, confirm dimensions with Marsden before ordering. For the majority of standard Marsden scale adaptors, the universal case provides the correct fit and appropriate mounting attachment for co-location with the scale or trolley in a standard NHS clinical environment.
What mounting options are available for attaching the case to clinical furniture or scale trolleys?
The Adaptor Carry Case includes attachment hardware for mounting to standard clinical surfaces including scale trolley rails, examination couch frames and clinical furniture edges. The mounting method does not require permanent fixing and can be repositioned or removed without tools in most configurations, allowing the case to be transferred between scale locations during ward reorganisation. For specific mounting queries related to unusual clinical furniture configurations or infection control surface requirements, contact Marsden's clinical equipment team for guidance on the appropriate attachment method for your environment.
