MEDICAL KEYBOARD Infection Control(Begins (Interface Technologies

Infection Control Begins Now there's an alternative to conventional keyboards Computer keyboards are everywhere in healthcare facilities. Today, smarter prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are the driving need for an infection-control keyboard: a new generation designed specifically for medical environments. Typical healthcare keyboards have many users, so cross-contamination from and to patients can result in fatal consequences—particularly if transient bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) exist. Strong arguments for improved infection-control...

Combats Cross-Contamination The Medigenic solution cleans easily while offering healthcare professionals a high data rate versus conventional keyboards. The Medigenic keyboard is designed for use in medical environments. Unlike conventional computer keyboards that can harbor reservoirs of harmful bacteria, this state-of-the-art device promotes cleanliness to combat cross- contamination. In just seconds, the Medigenic keyboard's smooth non-porous surface can be clinically cleaned by utilizing a hospital-approved germicidal spray or wipe, including alcohol-based compounds. There are no raised keys...

Prevention starts with the Medigenic keyboard. Get hospital acquired infections under your control. Governmental, social, and business pressures are driving the need for better prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections. There is wide agreement amongst epidemiologists and hospital infection-control staff that the rates could—and should— be cut sharply. Since computer keyboards are a frequently identied source of cross-contamination—as a result of point-of-care communications and automating patient records—we suggest you start at the entry level when you look to prevent and control...

Conventional computer keyboards spread more than words The colonization rate for computer keyboards and mouse with potentially pathogenic microorganisms is greater than that of other user interfaces in a surgical ICU. These fomites may be additional reservoirs for the transmission of microorganisms and become vectors for cross-transmission. Source: The Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing. Information presented at the 15th annual Scientic Session of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America highlighted results of a study designed to determine the ability of bacteria to survive...
