New Touchmonitors Certified For Healthcare Applications
TE Connectivity has added to the Elo TouchSystems family of devices built to help support the unique needs of healthcare environments: the 18.6-inch 1919LM and the 24-inch 2400LM touchmonitors.
In healthcare applications, where simplification of complex systems is essential and accuracy is a must, a touch interface is the fastest, easiest way to interact with technology – and the most direct and natural. TE Connectivity's Elo TouchSystems is a leading brand in touch products and technologies.
The new models are designed for use in situations where exceptional touchscreen visibility and electrical safety requirements are necessary. For applications like point-of-care, mobile medical carts and point-of-service, these touchmonitors feature high quality display panels with wide-viewing angles and a high contrast ratio for exceptional screen clarity and contrast – even in the brightest environments. Each model is available with either IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave or AccuTouch five-wire resistive touchscreen technologies, with the 1919LM also supporting APR (acoustic pulse recognition) touchscreen product technology. Touch technologies have various operating characteristics, and Elo TouchSystems has a choice of technologies to deliver an optimal response to the specific conditions of each application.
Additional features include a USB/Serial combination touch controller, DVI, VGA and built-in speakers. Models also come equipped with a removable base and mounting features, including a VESA mount as well as wall- and arm-mounting options, and provide installation flexibility for almost any architectural configuration. Power and monitor control functions can be locked-out to prevent tampering, and speakers are built-in to enrich the audio experience.
They meet UL60601 and IEC60601 safety certifications and have an IPX1 drip-proof rating: the touchscreen is protected against dripping water. More specifically, the units are compliant with EN 60950-1 and EN 60601-1 for safety and EN 60950-1, EN55022, EN55024, and EN 60601-1-2 for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). These standards are recognised by most public health authorities as the safety standards for medical electrical equipment.
