Creating Healthier and Safer Computing Environments for Government Employees

No one wants to have to work in an unsanitary environment, especially when it comes to the spread of germs. This is why Unotron has developed a line of input and security devices that are washable and easy-to-disinfect. Our keyboards, and soon to be introduced SmartCard readers and fingerprint readers, all employ our SpillSeal® technology, which enables them to be washed and disinfected.

PC keyboards and other input devices all hotspots for bacteria. PC keyboards harbor more than 3000 microbes per square inch - as compared to toilet seats' 49. Yet most government organizations do little or nothing to remedy the situation - leaving employees susceptible to infection and illness.

The problem is a result of two things:

• Most people are unaware just how "dirty" keyboards are.
  Individuals are conditioned to wash their hands after using the bathroom, or to wash food preparation materials when handling raw meat, but the general population isn't educated about keyboard contamination. Recent research is changing that awareness.
• Keyboards typically aren't conducive to cleaning.
  Most people consider running fluids across the surface of their keyboards as dangerous - that liquid may "short out" their computer. As a result, keyboards are left unopposed to breed an increasing amount of bacteria. Even so-called spill-resistant keyboards are limited in their protection against fluids.

Washable keyboards from Unotron are just that: washable. More than just a damp cloth across the surface of the keys, Unotron keyboards can withstand being run under a faucet. They are the first mass market PC keyboards certified washable to international IP66 and NEMA4X standards.

Features:

• Washable & easy-to-disinfect:
  Unotron keyboards and secutiry products can be sprayed with a disinfectant and then then rinsed thoroughly under running water.
• Full-travel keyboard:
  Unlike washable keyboards with a one-piece design, Unotron keyboards have standard, full-travel keys for the tactile response you are expect.
• Surprisingly affordable:
  Unotron keyboards are a quarter of the cost of other sealed keyboard designs.

Benefits:

• Expand your Infection Control Program:
  Fully disinfecting keyboards can now be part of your program to reduce Hospital Acquired Infections.
• Standard feel keyboard:
  Give your doctors, employees and patients keyboards with the performance they expect.
• Save money:
  Stretch your budget by buying smart.
