Bedside terminal reduces cross-contamination in hospitals

The need to prevent avoidable infections and cross-contamination in hospitals is a growing priority for IT procurement managers. In response to these concerns, Arbor Technology (UK) has announced an upgrade in front-bezel design and touch screen for its 18.5” M1858C bedside infotainment terminal, to offer improved resistance to bacteria and thus reduce cross-contamination. 

The M1858C features a noise-free fanless design, an IP65 rated front panel with waterproof and anti-bacterial characteristics, as well as a flush front bezel to minimise cross contamination risks. In addition, the terminal is compliant with IEC60601-1 (3rd edition), EN60601-1 (3rd edition) and EN60601-1-2 standards to support user safety.

The M1858C is based on the dual-core Intel Atom processor N2800 at 1.86GHz with Intel NM10 express chipset, and a 1366×768 (WXGA) TFT LCD display with a 1000 nit backlight that delivers the sharpest quality image. The terminal’s user-friendly GUI with a 10-point flush-mounted projected capacitive screen offers a high-quality image display. This gives medical staff bedside access to patient and hospital information, which increases work efficiency.

To further enhance security and safety, the terminal is equipped with a smartcard slot and a 5.0MP front-facing camera that includes a privacy cover to protect sensitive assets and safeguard a patient’s personal information. Optional features include a 1D/2D barcode scanner and an integrated RFID reader that helps to restrict access to sensitive patient data. Moreover, the M1858C comes with an optional remote controller to enable patients, via a call button, to alert the healthcare professional in an emergency. Nurses or caregivers can also communicate with patients faster through the M1858C’s WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities, and provide or collect real‐time patient information.

Supported OSs include Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WS7P) and Linux: Ubuntu/Fedora. The M1858C is available worldwide with power configuration to meet individual country requirements.
