Press release, November 16; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Friday 16 November 2007]

Kontron recently introduced its first lightweight, plastic-housed panel PC specially designed for medical equipment OEMs.

Kontron's MediClient offers medical OEMs a highly reliable platform with flexible mounting options and the longevity required by the medical industry. Kontron's scalable x86 CPU boards and a range of I/O options are assembled into a complete medical human machine interface (HMI) with a light and cleanable plastic housing made in accordance with the OEM's individual corporate design.

The 15-inch touchscreen offers graphics on a high contrast 1024×768 TFT display. It is usable with gloves and stylus pens and is resistant to disinfectants and detergents. The front panel of the Kontron MediClient offers IP65 protection against dust and liquids and allows the cleaning of fluid-born contaminants with alcohol. The extremely tough, light and cost-effective plastic housing (ABS UL94V0) is scratch-proof, corrosion resistant and chemical resistant for long life and easy cleaning. Mounting options include traditional panel mounting as well as VESA arm mounting.

In addition to its mounting options, the Kontron MediClient offers flexible and scalable processor performance up to 600MHz with the Intel Celeron M processor. The dual LAN, dual USB 2.0 and serial RS232 (RS422/RS485 optional) interfaces add to the MediClient's versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of medical applications.
