Waterproof Keyboards and Pointing Devices
for Medical Applications
Sealed Computer Peripherals for the
Healthcare Industry
Imaging Solutions’ range of cleanable, liquid-proof medical keyboards
and pointing devices are manufactured by iKey, a leading brand founded
on the principles of superior quality, service and innovation.
Keyboards used in medical environments present a constant threat for
cross-contamination. Waterproof and washable designs ensure patients
and caregivers are protected in this environment. Low-profile keys
and a completely sealed design make cleaning a quick and efficient
process - simply spray or wipe down on location. With features such as
backlighting for low-light environments, wireless models to avoid cord
entanglements and small-footprint designs for installation on carts, iKey is
a preferred provider of medical keyboards in hospitals around the world.
iKey’s medical keyboards are a perfect fit for our
healthcare target market.

Specific Advantages for Medical
Environments
Medical environments offer unique challenges for keeping keyboards
and other technology free of infectious viruses and bacteria. By
preventing cross contamination, iKey products protect patients and
caregivers from MRSA, HIV, Hepatitis, and other deadly diseases.
Other specific product features include:
• Compact design with low-profile keys for easy cleaning
• Models with backlit keys for working in low-light environments
• Tough Silicone rubber keys and ABS polycarbonate case for
superior durability and ease of use
• Cleanable, liquid-proof designs for use with all normal hospital
cleaning agents
• Wireless operation models
Studies by the University of Arizona, Northwestern Memorial Hospital in
Chicago, and others have shown that bacteria such as deadly MRSA and
VRE can survive on computer keyboards and mice. Viruses like influenza
can endure on such surfaces as long as 72 hours.
Disinfecting equipment can be a vital step in preventing the spread of
infection, and iKey’s sealed, easily-sterilized devices withstand bleach,
hospital-grade disinfectants, and other harsh chemical agents.
