What the AI looks for in Medical Carts
- Locking
- Crash carts use numbered breakaway seals; medication carts use key, keypad or electronic locks Code carts need instant access with tamper evidence, while medication carts need controlled access.
- Drawer layout
- Plan drawer count and depths against your protocol's supply list before buying Restocking errors increase when supplies do not fit a consistent drawer map.
- Casters
- Large casters with brakes on at least two wheels Small casters snag on thresholds and elevator gaps, and a cart without brakes rolls during compressions.
- Construction
- Powder-coated steel or aluminum bodies with sealed seams that tolerate hospital disinfectants Porous or cracked surfaces cannot be disinfected.
- Accessories
- Check that the cart takes a defibrillator shelf, CPR board holder, oxygen tank holder and IV pole Crash carts need these mounts, and retrofitting them is awkward.
