Hoffmann + Krippner, an innovative German company, has developed an answer to the ever-present problem of Hospital-Aquired Infections (HAI’s) and other communicable diseases. Hoffmann + Krippner took two concepts in which they have demonstrated expertise for over 35 years – customized input devices and membrane foil printing – and combined them to create the keywi MediBoard.
Hoffmann+Krippner uses a special membrane foil coated in Microban and surrounds it in a completely sealed, beautifully designed exterior housing that is scratch and chemical resistant and withstands common disinfectants. The super flat outer surface of the keyboard is splash-proof according to IP 65 [NEMA 4X] standards, making it quick and easy to clean – an important factor in busy hospital environments. The keywi Mediboard also has individually domed keys, creating excellent tactile response even with gloved hands and has an optional integrated mouse pad. Hoffmann + Krippner’s confidence in the antimicrobial technology is evidenced by the fact that they offer a 10-year warranty on the antimicrobial effect of the keywi MediBoard. If you have any problems with the MediBoard antimicrobial effect or the functionality of the keys, Hoffmann + Krippner will gladly replace the keyboard at no expense to your organization.
Antimicrobial keyboards are advantageous for use in any area that will benefit from consistent protection against bacterial contamination but especially in Hospital Emergency, Operating, and Clean Rooms where the need for hygienic surroundings are most vital. The sense of urgency that hospital employees must have in order to give patients appropriate attention cannot be at the expense of quality of care and patient safety. The keywi MediBoard can be completely cleaned and disinfected without ever unplugging!
Using an antimicrobial PC keyboard, like the keywi Mediboard, is a significant step forward in the drive to tackle Hospital-Acquired Infections and cut the number of cases of MRSA and other communicable diseases and illnesses.
