Infection-Control Keyboards for Safer Healthcare Facilities

Typical healthcare keyboards have many users, so the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) through cross-contamination from and to patients by healthcare workers can result in fatal consequences—particularly if transient bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) exist.

Esterline Interface Technologies offers infection-control medical keyboards that feature a flat design that can be quickly cleaned in place with hospital-grade disinfectants to combat cross-contamination. Users can touch-type with excellent tactile key response to swiftly document care.

Two Medigenic Keyboard Models

Choose between the Essential or Compliance Medigenic keyboards:
The Essential medical keyboard is a cost-effective alternative to conventional keyboards and covers. The Compliance medical keyboard— available in 101/102-key and 104/105-key layouts—adds an alert system that reminds users to clean the keyboard at regular intervals and provides backlit keys for use in low-light areas.  Over 45 different keyboard variants are available to meet multiple language, size, and feature requirements. 

Medical Keyboard Features

Sanitize in Seconds: flat keyboard design quickly wipes clean with hospital-grade disinfectants. High-Speed Data Entry: full-size keyboard enables healthcare professionals to touch-type with conventional keyboard-like performance. Disinfection without Disconnection: single disable key allows connectivity while keyboard is cleaned. Audio and Visual Alerts indicator will flash and alert will sound at user-defined intervals to help monitor and promote good infection-control practices. Cleaning the keyboard turns off the indicators. Backlit Keys*: keyboard is usable in low-light environments to accommodate data-input accuracy and reduce patient disturbance. * Features available on the Compliance model.   View Medigenic product comparison sheet
