Customised medical display systems are now being delivered by Data Modul. The company says that exact colour reproduction, secure and user-friendly operation as well as easy cleaning are essential key factors to be fulfilled by Panel PCs and monitors in medical environments.

The use of superior industrial colour and monochrome TFT panels ensures reliable image performance. Seamless plastics and aluminium housings avoid dust and dirt accumulations and assure compliance with the latest hygienic standards. All medical Panel PCs meet EMI shielding regulations and are compliant with the standards IEC60601-1, DICOM Part 14 and IEC6868-157.

Using projected the capacitive (PCAP) solution easyTOUCH the standard touch portfolio will be expanded according to the requirements and trends of leading TFT manufacturers. The sensors are characterised by a narrow bezel design especially in the area of the track routing. Even with the sensor’s high resolution, which affects a good multi-touch functionality, the PCAP is not much larger than the outline dimensions of the TFT.

As a partner of ATMEL, easyTOUCH is using the latest generation of Atmel maXTouch controller series. The newest T-generation works with glove and under water operation, which guarantees a safe input for the medical customer. In order to protect the end-use application from outside influences, it is recommended to bond a custom protection glass in front of the TFT/touch unit.

With the advanced in-house liquid optical bonding technology there are almost no limits in thickness, material or outlines of the cover material. Depending on the application the touch performance can be adjusted to the customer requirements.

Due to increasing technical requirements and the demand of customized panel PC solutions, Data Modul has broadened its offering by tailored ARM/x86 embedded baseboard designs. To meet the extensive medical product specifications, various formats and functions, e.g. versions with isolated COM and LAN ports, security settings and extended temperature management can be featured.

During baseboard design phase, stable operation in different medical applications can be considered to create an OEM embedded platform for the customer, guaranteeing long-time availability.
