Bytec Medical has launched “the next generation” of its easy-clean, wireless, USB keyboard designed for improved infection control and functionality for hospital/medical environments.
The latest Medi-Key keyboard offers improved key response and feel, a wider touchpad with gesture response, and optional numeric keypad. The wipeclean IP65-rated keyboard incorporates a silver ion antibacterial agent as “a secondary defence” against infection spread and cross-contamination, and can be programmed to advise when cleaning is necessary. Entering “disinfect mode” avoids the need to switch off the computer during cleaning. The addition of a PC-based application enables reprogramming for easy on-site upgrades without special programming equipment. With a minimum 6-hour operating life, battery life is further preserved with a 15 minute “sleep” mode, and “auto shutdown” after 48 hours.
