What is a medical keyboard?
Medical keyboards provide an easy to clean, wipeable surface that can be decontaminated quickly during normal use, reducing the chance of infections spreading in high-risk areas to vulnerable patients.
Why are medical keyboards important?
Medical keyboards help create an additional barrier of protection against harmful bacteria easily collected on a keyboard surface. Keyboards are considered a high-risk area as multiple users frequently interact with them throughout the day. ioniTOUCH Medical Keyboards provide the user with a surface that can be rapidly cleaned, enabling healthcare facilities to avoid the spread of germs that cause infection outbreaks.
What does the Antimicrobial coating do?
By combining an antimicrobial additive into the silicone over moulding and coating, we create an additional layer of protection for the user. The antimicrobial additive helps inhibit bacterial growth on the surface of the device. Our BPR approved antimicrobial additive has PASSED Antimicrobial Efficacy testing against E.coli, MRSA & K.Pneu.
Do Medical Keyboards assist with Infection Control?
Yes, by introducing an ioniTOUCH Medical Keyboard within a healthcare setting and performing regular cleaning, infection control practices are made easier and more efficient due to the keyboard’s easy-clean design. Our ioniTOUCH Medical Keyboards have been trialed in ward areas at Manchester University hospital and several healthcare professionals recognise ioniTOUCH Medical Keyboards as a valuable Infection Control product.

Do ioniTOUCH Medical Keyboards contain Latex?
No, none of our medical keyboards or mice contains Latex.
How does the On/Off cleaning mode button work?
All ioniTOUCH Medical Keyboards come with an On/Off Cleaning Mode button. This allows the keyboard to be switched off for cleaning purposes without disconnecting so that no key presses appear on the screen.
To activate the cleaning mode simply hold down the button for 5 seconds, wash or wipe down the keyboard and then deactivate cleaning mode by holding the button again for another 5 seconds.
