We've tried carts by NAWare and were very pleased. They are light weight, move well, and the monitors will rotate 180 degrees in either direction. Our nurses loved them. They will customize them in any way, battery life is long and you can custom your colors too.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== I was asked to post the responses I received. I am just in search of the perfect cart :) Personally I use Stinger carts but I think RiouxVision is a close second. They are much sturdier that Ergotron I think and better support post sale. We use Ergotron carts for eMAR/BMV (laptops) and would be happy to discuss our selection and satisfaction with you. Please note I'm not familiar with Rioux. Thanks and good luck. Just a little word to the wise...Be careful in selecting carts with built in technolgy I know Rioux is not interchangable with other vendor products so if technolgy changes and you need to upgrade laptops or devices then you are stuck with one vendor. Our facility leased Riouxvision 2.5 years ago, both carts and wallmounts. The lease is expiring and we are now replacing them with the Ergotron carts. We use Ergotron carts. They have a narrow wheel base, so fit in rooms well, but are still very stable when moved. Battery life is good (with the large battery in the base of the cart) and they are user friendly except for the positioning and retractability of the power cord. If we were to redesign the cart, we would have the cord exiting at the top of the cart base and it would not be retractable. Otherwise it's a nice cart--functions well and looks good! We use Rioux in our EDM, we are not LIVE with EMAR/BMV yet, they like those carts in EDM. They do have downtime (breakdown, or other issues, battery?) but the users like that device much better than the 45-60 Stinger carts we have on the nsg units. I saw you post on the L about your nurse carts. We purchased 7 ergotron carts last year to use with PCS and in less than a year have had to send 3 of them back to the manufacturer which we had to fight with them to cover them because they said we were mishandling them. We are constantly having maintenance work on them because they get so tight or stuck that they won't move up or down. Hopefully others haven't had this trouble, but we don't recommend them!

If you are using either of these carts for Nursing-specifically for BMV documentation, can we contact you?
