Marsden TP-2100 Printer, High-Resolution Thermal Printer for Medical Scales
- High-resolution thermal printer for Marsden scales with DP-3810 indicators, generating time-stamped printed weight records including patient weight, height and BMI for NHS drug dosing documentation, CQC Regulation 17 clinical audit trails and care home medication management records.
- Compact high-speed thermal printing produces an immediate clinical weight slip at the point of patient weighing, eliminating manual transcription of weight readings and the associated transcription errors that represent a known risk in drug dosing calculation chains.
- Supports CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) clinical record-keeping by generating a contemporaneous, dated, timed weight record at the point of weighing, creating a physical audit trail that documents the weight reading used in clinical decision-making.
- Compatible with the Marsden TP-2110 thermal print roll consumable, with no ink, toner or ribbon required, minimising ongoing consumable management to a single roll stock item for NHS procurement teams and care home equipment managers.
Marsden TP-2100 Printer: High-Speed Thermal Printer for Clinical Weight Record Documentation
The Marsden TP-2100 is a compact high-speed thermal printer for Marsden medical scales fitted with DP-3810 indicators, generating printed patient weight slips at the point of weighing for NHS drug dosing documentation, clinical audit trails and care home medication management records. The TP-2100 prints weight, height and BMI (where the clinician has entered height data) alongside the date and time of the weighing, creating an immediate contemporaneous clinical record that eliminates the manual transcription step between scale reading and patient record entry.
Eliminating transcription removes a documented risk point in drug dosing workflows: a manual transcription error between scale display and patient record can result in a drug dose being calculated from an incorrect weight, a medication safety incident category that printed weight records directly prevent.

Regulatory and Clinical Compliance
CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) requires that regulated providers maintain accurate, contemporaneous clinical records that are accessible and support safe patient care. Printed weight records from the TP-2100 satisfy this requirement at the point of weighing, creating a dated record that is immediately available for filing in the patient record or medication administration record without delay. In NHS settings, the printed weight slip provides the reference document that prescribing clinicians and clinical pharmacists use to verify the body weight used in dose calculations, supporting NHS medicines management governance frameworks and the patient safety culture that reduces weight-related prescribing errors. No ink, toner or ribbon is required: the sole consumable is the thermal print roll, simplifying procurement and eliminating the multi-consumable management overhead of inkjet or laser printing solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Marsden scales are compatible with the TP-2100 printer?
The TP-2100 printer connects to Marsden scales fitted with the DP-3810 indicator. This indicator is fitted across a range of Marsden's premium clinical scales including high-specification chair scales, floor scales, bed weighers and column scales where the printer is offered as an optional add-on. If you are ordering a new Marsden scale and want TP-2100 printer compatibility, confirm DP-3810 indicator fitment at the point of order. If you already own a Marsden scale and wish to add the TP-2100, confirm the indicator model on your existing scale before ordering: the printer will not connect to scales fitted with other indicator models.
Does the TP-2100 printer require its own mains power connection?
Yes. The TP-2100 has its own power supply separate from the scale adaptor. Both the scale indicator and the printer must be powered for the combined weighing-and-printing clinical station to function. In fixed ward or clinic locations where both the scale adaptor and printer power lead are connected to mains sockets, the combined station operates continuously without battery management considerations. The printer does not have a battery backup: if mains power is interrupted, the printer will not function until power is restored, though the scale continues to display the weight reading on the indicator for manual recording in the interim.
