Hygienic Medical Computers

Tangent Writing Team

Cleanliness remains a top priority for hospitals everywhere. Since the introduction of handwashing into the medical field, efforts to curb disease spread in the hospital have been largely successful. Still, medical institutions must remain vigilant in their hygienic practices to ensure that the risks to patients are minimized. Hospitals need quality medical computers that help to create a safe and clean environment for both staff and patients.

Why Medical Computer Hygiene Matters

Your doctors and nurses are constantly moving from one room to the next in your hospital. Throughout their busy day, they visit numerous different patients and co-workers. While they may not directly come into contact with each other, they no doubt all use the same medical computer in any given room. These computers become a breeding ground for harmful pathogens as staff use them throughout the workday. 

But not all medical computers are afflicted by this issue. Many of them feature an antimicrobial coating to help protect against microbes. 

Antimicrobial Coatings Add A Layer Of Protection

An antimicrobial coating mitigates the growth of pathogens on whatever surface it is spread on. These coatings work along the same lines as naturally occurring antimicrobial materials, like copper. Antimicrobial materials  interrupt a bacteria cell’s respiratory and metabolic functions. Over a brief period of time, this leads to the cell being unable to create energy and proliferate.

Medical computers like the KW15 from Tangent feature an antimicrobial coating across its surfaces. The KW15’s enclosure mitigates the growth of pathogens, which helps create a safer hospital environment overall. The cast aluminum enclosure is also built to last, and features a fanless cooling system. The KW15 also features other sanitary features, such as a washable touchscreen to help make it even more hygienic.

Washable Medical Computers

Doctors and nurses routinely wash their hands throughout a shift to minimize the risk of spreading pathogens around the hospital. Likewise, medical computers should be routinely cleaned to minimize disease transmission. Computers from Tangent feature antimicrobial enclosures to help mitigate this transmission. But they also sport IP rated touchscreens as an added layer of protection.

The Medix 22 from Tangent features an IP65 rated touchscreen that can be easily cleaned. This touchscreen can withstand standard cleaning agents without damage to the screen. Doctors and nurses can give their computers a quick cleanup before and after use. Combined with its antimicrobial layer, the Medix 22’s IP65 rated touchscreen can give medical staff peace of mind about the sanitation efforts being employed.

Keeping Essential Employees Safe At Work

As more employees return to work, keeping them safe should be the top priority of every business. But as the pandemic continues on, it is becoming increasingly difficult to properly protect essential workers. Facemasks, regular handwashing, and social distancing efforts are key to protecting your essential employees, but there are other steps you can take to ensure their safety. By using antimicrobial, medical grade computers in place of traditional computers, your employees can feel safer knowing that they are using safe and sanitary computers.

Medical Grade Computers: Safe And Sanitary

How many employees touch a computer on any given day? If your employees work at a grocery store, chances are they share checkout lanes with each other throughout the day. Regularly cleaning these POS computers is a great way to stop the spread of germs, but employees may forget to clean their computer as regularly as they do the conveyor belt or customer card reader. With an antimicrobial computer at their side, employees can feel safe knowing that their computers take care of the disinfecting.

Antimicrobial medical grade computers from Tangent are computers that are specifically designed for use in high-germ scenarios. In today’s world, they double as a precautionary measure against the pandemic. Medical grade computers from Tangent are treated with an antimicrobial agent that makes their enclosure fully antimicrobial. Pathogens quickly die off on the surface of these devices, and their spread is mitigated.

With a fully washable touchscreen as well, antimicrobial medical grade computers from Tangent are easy to use. Just like your employee’s smartphones or tablets, medical grade computers from Tangent can be operated with just fingers. There’s no fancy system for employees to learn either as medical grade computers from Tangent use Windows 10 as their operating system, more than likely the same operating system employees use at home.

Medical grade computers like the E24B from Tangent or the M24T from Tangent are fully mountable in nearly every situation and can be easily fitted with your POS software of choice.
