New Downtime Workstation Data Input Devices Help Hospitals and Mission-Critical Facilities Keep Running When Computer Systems Fail or Need Maintenance
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 10, 2014 -- The new downtime workstation keyboard and mouse set from WetKeys Washable Keyboards is easy to identify and keeps services running during a system crash or maintenance repair. The E Cool w/Cool Connect Downtime Workstation Medical Grade Red Keyboard, a Man & Machine product, is colored red to let staff immediately know which workstation is working during planned or emergency server outages.
“A recent report from Infection Control Today discusses keyboards as fomites*, highlighting the importance of regular disinfection of any hospital workstation. Disinfection and preventing cross-contamination is especially important in an emergency situation where several healthcare professionals need to use one computer for multiple patients. By making this medical keyboard and mouse set available to our customers, it allows them to ensure their hospital is safe, even in an emergency situation,” stated David Malo, COO of WetKeys Washable Keyboards.
The fully sealed, waterproof medical keyboard and mouse set is engineered to be compatible with award-winning EPIC healthcare EMR software and other mission-critical operating systems. In addition, the new waterproof keyboard and mouse set is equipped with TruLock convenience allowing users to wipe and clean during use without unplugging the equipment, allowing for hospitals to decrease the opportunity for cross-contamination.
The washable keyboard provides assurance to IT teams for any hospital, power plant control rooms, data recovery sites, and disaster management facilities offering the ability to enter data or issue commands, even if other systems fail. Enhanced with Cool Connect, IT teams can also create their own applications to alert or identify if the keyboard’s USB has been disconnected to prevent a user from installing a standard keyboard at the downtime workstation.
For maximum effectiveness, the new downtime workstation keyboard can be paired with a red Petite Mouse, also available from WetKeys Washable Keyboards along with several other Man & Machine products that are ideal for healthcare or industrial environments. The E Cool with Cool Connect Downtime Workstation Medical Grade Red Keyboard is one of the many keyboards made in the U.S.A. that WetKeys offers.
