Elo TouchSystems is now offering two products to help support the health care environment — the 18.6-inch 1919LM and the 24-inch 2400LM touch monitors.
The new models are designed for use in situations where touchscreen visibility and electrical safety requirements are necessary, according to a company press release.
"For applications like point-of-care, mobile-medical carts and point-of-service, these touch monitors feature high-quality display panels with wide-viewing angles and a high- contrast ratio for exceptional screen clarity and contrast – even in the brightest environments," the release stated.
Each model is available with either IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave or AccuTouch five-wire resistive touchscreen technologies, with the 1919LM also supporting APR (acoustic pulse recognition) touchscreen product technology.
Additional features include a USB/Serial combination touch controller, DVI, VGA and built-in speakers. Models also come equipped with a removable base and mounting features, including a VESA mount as well as wall- and arm-mounting options. Power and monitor control functions can be locked-out to prevent tampering, and speakers are built-in to enrich the audio experience.
They meet UL60601 and IEC60601 safety certifications and, the touchscreen is protected against dripping water. More specifically, the units are compliant with EN 60950-1 and EN 60601-1 for safety and EN 60950-1, EN55022, EN55024, and EN 60601-1-2 for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). These standards are recognized by most public health authorities as the safety standards for medical-electrical equipment.
