THE REQUIREMENTS
The most important consideration for every hospital and every clinic is the well-being of the patients. One aspect that must be present is technology that is fault-free and that works every time. From this standpoint, it was not without reason that, when choosing PC keyboards to deploy in their operating theatres, the County Hospital at Buchen decided to go for the MediBoard product from the keywi company.

The requirements that the hospital demands from the keyboards are particularly challenging: they must be easy to clean, they must have an antimicrobial surface that meets the highest hygiene standards, they must fit all commonly used PCs and must be quick and easy to use.

THE SOLUTION
The keywi MediBoard from Hoffmann + Krippner combines all these requirements in an attractive, antimicrobial and easy-to-operate keyboard.

Its surface is antimicrobial and reliably kills off many viruses and bacteria. With an IP rating of 65, the keyboard is resistant to water splashes, making cleaning easy and fast.

The ultra-flat housing delivers a product that is not only resistant to all common disinfectants but one that comes in at a weight of just 900 grams.

The tactile lenticular keycaps in innovative GT technology, developed using a registered process, together with the resistive mouse pad, guarantee good tactile sensation and easy operation -
with and without protective gloves.

The keyboard has a full speed USB 1.1 hub with 3 integrated USB ports. This allows the connection of other devices such as a mouse or Trackball. With a working life of more than 1 million keystrokes, the MediBoard is not just functional, it is also very durable.

THE RESULTS
"The keywi MediBoard from Hoffmann + Krippner is the ideal keyboard for deployment in workplaces with challenging hygiene requirements, such as those in our operating theatres", says Wolfgang Bleyer, Technical Director of the Buchen County Hospital. "Our medical staff is very happy with this keyboard".
