Midmark 9A428001 - Shelf Swing Arm PC Work f/647 Table Ea
The Midmark 9A428001 Shelf Swing Arm PC Workstation is designed to transform the Midmark 647 examination table into a fully integrated clinical documentation environment. This accessory provides a stable and ergonomic mounting solution for computer workstations, allowing clinicians to access electronic medical records, imaging, and patient documentation directly at the point of care. By positioning the computer within arms reach of the provider, the swing arm workstation supports efficient workflow while maintaining patient interaction and comfort.
Constructed to match the durability and aesthetic of Midmark equipment, the shelf swing arm integrates seamlessly with the exam table structure. The arm moves smoothly and locks securely into position, ensuring stability during data entry while remaining easy to reposition between examinations. This allows providers to quickly adapt the workspace to different clinical scenarios without interrupting the patient visit.
The design emphasizes hygiene and space optimization. The workstation keeps computers elevated and off countertops, reducing clutter and supporting proper infection control practices. In busy exam rooms where space is limited, the ability to store computing equipment directly on the table structure significantly improves room efficiency.
Key Benefits
The swing arm workstation improves workflow efficiency by allowing providers to document findings in real time without turning away from the patient. This supports better communication, increased patient trust, and improved accuracy of medical records. Clinicians can maintain eye contact and conversation while entering notes, reducing the disconnect often experienced with traditional computer placement.
Its ergonomic positioning helps minimize strain on the neck, shoulders, and wrists. The adjustable reach and angle allow users of varying heights to comfortably access the keyboard and monitor. By supporting proper posture, the workstation contributes to staff comfort during long clinic hours and reduces fatigue-related errors.
The secure mounting system prevents accidental movement or vibration while typing. The durable construction ensures consistent performance in high-traffic medical environments such as primary care clinics, specialty practices, and outpatient centers. The workstation also helps protect computer equipment from accidental spills or patient contact.
Compatibility and Applications
This shelf swing arm workstation is specifically engineered for use with the Midmark 647 examination table. It integrates directly into the table structure without requiring extensive modifications or separate floor stands. The design ensures proper balance and does not interfere with table positioning or patient accessibility.
It is ideal for exam rooms transitioning to digital documentation, telehealth integration, or imaging review. Clinics using electronic health record systems benefit from having the workstation positioned directly at bedside. The accessory is suitable for family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, cardiology screening rooms, and specialty clinics where frequent documentation is required during the examination process.
The workstation also supports remote consultation workflows by enabling easy screen sharing between provider and patient. This improves patient education and helps clinicians explain imaging results or treatment plans clearly.
Usage Guidelines
The workstation should be installed according to manufacturer mounting instructions to ensure correct alignment and secure attachment. After installation, users can adjust the swing arm by gently repositioning it to the desired working angle. The arm is designed to hold position once set, allowing stable typing and viewing.
Computing equipment placed on the shelf should remain within recommended weight limits to preserve balance and mechanical integrity. Providers should position the monitor at eye level and keep the keyboard within comfortable reach to maintain ergonomic posture. After completing documentation, the arm can be moved aside to create full patient access to the table.
Routine checks should be performed to confirm that locking joints remain properly tightened and that the arm moves smoothly without resistance.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The workstation is manufactured to align with medical equipment durability expectations and clinical environment safety practices. Materials used in construction support frequent cleaning with standard healthcare disinfectants. The mounting system is engineered to maintain structural integrity during repeated daily movement in patient care environments.
The design also supports safe cable management, preventing trip hazards and reducing wear on power or data connections. By keeping equipment securely mounted, the workstation helps minimize accidental falls or equipment damage within clinical areas.
Comparison with Competitors
Unlike mobile computer carts that occupy floor space and require constant repositioning, the Midmark swing arm workstation remains integrated with the exam table. This eliminates workflow interruptions and improves room organization. Wall mounted computer stations often require providers to step away from the patient, while this solution keeps documentation directly within reach.
Generic mounting arms may lack the balance and durability required for repeated clinical use. The Midmark unit is engineered specifically for compatibility with the 647 table, ensuring proper weight distribution and stable operation. This tailored design provides greater reliability compared to universal mounts.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
The workstation is ideal for physicians, nurse practitioners, and medical assistants who perform frequent patient documentation during examinations. Clinics with high patient turnover benefit from the reduced movement and faster charting process. The accessory is particularly valuable in practices that emphasize patient engagement and bedside education.
In telehealth enabled exam rooms, providers can quickly pivot the screen to involve patients in virtual consultations. Pediatric and geriatric care settings also benefit from improved visibility and communication during treatment explanations.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Clean the shelf and arm regularly using approved medical disinfectants to maintain hygiene standards. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials that may damage protective finishes. Inspect moving joints periodically and tighten hardware if needed to maintain smooth operation.
Ensure cables remain organized and secured to prevent strain on connectors. When not in use, position the arm away from patient entry areas to prevent accidental contact. Maintaining proper equipment placement extends product lifespan and preserves safe operation.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This accessory is intended for professional healthcare environments and should be installed by qualified personnel familiar with clinical equipment mounting procedures. Users must follow facility safety protocols when integrating computing devices into patient care areas. Equipment placed on the shelf should comply with applicable electrical safety standards.
The workstation should only be used with compatible exam tables and within recommended operational parameters to ensure stability and patient safety.
