Critical Care Areas
In a fast paced environment, like an emergency department or ICU, with high contact and numerous spills and messes, many possible fomites are overlooked. (Fomite: any object or substance capable of carrying infectious organisms.)
Multiple studies have found colonies of bacteria on computer keyboards. Due to the threat of its potential spread to patients, Henry Ford's Information Technology and Infection Control departments recommended exchanging traditional keyboards in the Emergency Department for washable, silicone rubber models. � ScienceDaily.com � June 3, 2010
Important Considerations for a Critical Care Area:
-
Fully Sealed Keyboard to increase infection control in high traffic areas
- Low Profiled Keys & Smooth Coating to facilitate high speed cleaning
- High Speed Cleaning increases ease of use with a Spray & Wipe protocol
- Easily bagged to further infection control
- Separate keyboard and mouse allows ease of use with gloved hands
