Element’s All-in-One Medical Devices for Healthcare Efficiency
Although healthcare is far removed from retail and hospitality, there are key parallels
Element’s panel PCs and washable healthcare peripherals are perfect for a medical setting
Together, items in the range can offer an all-in-one solution
Far from the world of retail and hospitality, Element’s focus on design, quality, and purpose fits well in a special place: healthcare. Even with the differences, there are still similarities between these settings, both have a fast pace and need for efficiency. The customer experience in healthcare is crucial, because the “customers” are the patients and those receiving care.
Element provides a full range of medical-grade products. This includes touchscreen panel PCs and Washable keyboards and mice. All products meet strict certification standards. Element’s healthcare hardware is made from special plastics with silver nanotechnology and is carefully designed for hospitals, where controlling infections is very important.
Constant use of eMR (electronic medical records) is essential in healthcare today, so quick access is crucial. Having a terminal available whenever and wherever needed is imperative. This is especially true when hospital staff are always short on time and resources. Having the computing power to get results, enter patient data, and track their health is key to meeting health goals.
The Element K95A and K959 are touchscreen panel PCs designed for portability and ease of use. Both units have optional RFID readers. This lets clinicians use their ID cards to log into their accounts. Their desktop and work environment will be ready to use right away on the terminal.
One of the key features of both the K95A and K959 is convenient side-mounted battery access. This design allows for smooth, secure hot-swapping of batteries, minimising strain and ensuring reliable connections.
The feature allows easy access for quick battery replacement. Even when on a cart, it works for users of all heights. This makes power replenishment faster, safer, and more comfortable.
On battery power, the K95A and K959 can run continuously for up to 12 hours. Both units have a built-in power supply unit (PSU). This means you can easily plug them into a powered cart or wall socket for power.
The K95A and K959 both feature an optional onboard camera to facilitate video consults, while their 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Tiger Lake processor ensures plenty of headroom for medical applications.
To reduce noise for patients, the K95A and K959 are fanless medical PCs. This allows staff to work quietly at night. Each of these units also has an LED reading light mounted on its lower edge to illuminate a keyboard or hardcopy medical information without the need to switch on brighter overhead lights and disrupt the sleep of patients.
The Element M24-HC clinical review monitor is great for diagnostics. It shows medical images clearly and accurately. This includes X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRIs.
The monitor is DICOM calibration compliant, meaning that if clinicians share patient files between hospitals, for example, they can be sure they are seeing exactly the same thing as what anyone else with a DICOM-compliant monitor is seeing. This LCD digital display comes in touch and non-touch versions. You can use it on a cart or at an imaging centre. Perfect for any place that needs a high-quality medical monitor.
Powerful peripherals
The Element ECT-105 is an exceptionally cost-effective but feature-rich medical-grade keyboard. Its small form factor makes it easy to keep on a cart, without compromising on a full 104-key layout.
It supports multiple ways to connect. You can use a USB cable, Bluetooth, or WiFi, and it has an IP68 rating. This means you can easily clean it by washing it in a disinfectant solution.
The Element ECT-409 wireless washable mouse mouse has very quiet buttons and a scroll wheel. Perfect for medical settings where noise should be low to avoid disturbing patients. The design includes an actively sealed battery compartment, allowing you to sterilise it in a dishwasher.
For medical scanning applications, Element offers the P50BT cordless companion scanner. A Useful feature of this unit is that it can connect directly to a tablet or PC using Bluetooth. It can also connect with its charge and communication cradle. You can carry the scanner unit around as it is not permanently fixed and will easily pair with different cradles when needed.
Light enough to hang on a lanyard around a healthcare worker's neck, it uses a green laser for scanning. This is better than a red laser, which can remind people of blood in a hospital. The P50BT also features night mode with haptic feedback to avoid waking patients with audio alerts. It reads all mainstream barcodes and QR codes, including those from a mobile phone screen.
Putting it all together
Element’s healthcare range offers a purpose-designed all-in-one solution to transform healthcare delivery, with a strong focus on staff efficiency and, equally, patient experience. The K95 series can be mounted on a powered or unpowered medical cart, and connected to the washable ECT-105 keyboard via Bluetooth, cable or WiFi.
Paired with an ECT-409 wireless mouse, the system is easily cleanable, reducing the risk of infection. Adding a P50BT provides the necessary functionality for scanning medicines, pathology samples and the like, and together, these products represent a complete technology suite to meet all the needs of a healthcare setting.
Thousands of these units are already used in hospitals across Australia and are reliable tools for bedside patient care. Contact Element today to learn more about how we can create an all-in-one healthcare solution to suit your requirements.
