Marsden DP-3800 Adaptor, Power Supply for DP-3800 Indicator and M-4xx Scales
- Medical-grade mains power adaptor for Marsden DP-3800 indicator and compatible M-4xx baby scales, enabling fixed-location mains operation in neonatal units, health visitor clinics and paediatric settings where continuous baby scale power is a clinical operational requirement.
- Matched to the DP-3800 indicator electrical specification, maintaining Class III and MDD weighing accuracy for M-400 and M-410 baby scales in fixed clinical locations, where mains operation is more reliable than battery management for high-frequency neonatal weighing.
- Eliminates battery interruption in busy neonatal and baby clinic settings, where the M-400 series scale may be in continuous use across morning and afternoon clinic sessions and battery replacement mid-session disrupts the clinical weighing workflow.
- Recommended for NHS neonatal units, health visitor base clinics and paediatric departments operating M-400 or M-410 scales as fixed weighing stations, with mains operation providing uninterrupted clinical availability throughout the working day.
Marsden DP-3800 Adaptor: Medical-Grade Mains Power Supply for DP-3800 Indicator and M-4xx Baby Scales
The Marsden DP-3800 Adaptor is the manufacturer-approved mains power supply for Marsden scales fitted with the DP-3800 indicator, including the M-400 and M-410 baby scales used in neonatal units, health visitor base clinics and paediatric departments. Mains operation from the DP-3800 Adaptor provides uninterrupted clinical availability for fixed-location baby weighing stations where battery management creates operational overhead and the risk of mid-session power loss during a busy neonatal clinic or paediatric assessment session.
Matched to the DP-3800 indicator's electrical specification, this adaptor maintains the Class III and MDD Approved weighing accuracy of the M-400 series scales throughout mains-powered clinical operation.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
The M-400 and M-410 baby scales fitted with the DP-3800 indicator are Class III and MDD Approved clinical devices under the NAWI Directive. Using the manufacturer-specified DP-3800 Adaptor maintains the device's certified clinical performance and MHRA medical device compliance. In NHS neonatal settings where infant drug dosing depends on accurate weight readings from the M-400 scale, operational continuity of the scale is a patient safety consideration: the DP-3800 Adaptor eliminates the battery-related interruption risk that could delay an urgent neonatal weighing session where weight is required for immediate drug dose calculation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should the M-400 baby scale be operated on mains or battery power in a fixed neonatal unit?
For fixed neonatal unit use where the scale remains in one location and a mains socket is available, mains operation via the DP-3800 Adaptor is the recommended approach. It eliminates battery management, ensures the scale is always powered at the start of each shift without a battery check, and removes the risk of a depleted battery interrupting a weighing session at a critical clinical moment. Battery operation remains appropriate for community and portable use where mains access is unavailable between home visits.
Is the DP-3800 Adaptor compatible with the M-400-80D scale with the digital height rod?
Compatibility depends on the specific indicator fitted to the M-400-80D variant. The DP-3800 Adaptor is specified for scales using the DP-3800 indicator: if your M-400-80D uses this indicator model, the adaptor is compatible. If the M-400-80D is fitted with a different indicator model (such as the DP-3810), a different adaptor is required. Confirm the indicator model on your specific scale before ordering, or contact Marsden with the scale serial number for a definitive compatibility confirmation.
