Touch
Technologies and Touch Products for Medical and Health Care Applications
 Wide Range of Touch Technologies
Touch can play an important role
in all aspects of medical instrumentation and equipment. Tyco Electronics' Elo TouchSystems has a
wide portfolio of touch technologies, each optimized for different
operating characteristics and environments. Our touch technologies
are available as components for OEMs or can be integrated into a complete
touchmonitor.
Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR)
 APR combines the ultimate in optical qualities, durability, and stability, with excellent dragging properties. Along with stylus, glove, finger and fingernail activation, APR is well-suited for many diverse applications including public kiosks, patient bedside monitors and medical instrumentation. In addition, its pure-glass surface is resistant to scratches, water and other contaminants on the screen, can be sealed and cleaned with disinfectants, and scaled from 2.5-inch to 42-inch displays.
Resistive
  We
offer AT4 four-wire resistive touchscreens for small form factor applications
(≤10.4")
such as handheld devices, and AccuTouch five-wire resistive touchscreens for displays ranging from 6.4" through 21". Both resistive
technologies can be activated with a finger or rubber-gloved hand,
ID card or stylus; they continue to function despite liquid splashes
on the touchscreen and can be sealed and sterilized.
AccuTouch is the most widely used touchscreen technology for medical
applications.
Infrared
 CarrollTouch infrared touchscreens provide high optical sensor technology
for applications requiring superior imaging performance or operation
in glass-free environments. The display can be protected by a choice
of glass or acrylic overlays optimized for optical clarity or safety.
Well suited for applications such as X-ray equipment, CarrollTouch
touchscreens provide stable, drift-free operation and deliver an extremely
sensitive, accurate touch response.
 Surface Wave
IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave touchscreens provide a picture-perfect, precision
touch solution. IntelliTouch is a widely used touchscreen technology
for non-critical and patient-activated healthcare applications.
Elo Desktop Touchmonitors
 Elo desktop touchmonitors are ideal in medical applications for which
cost, rugged design, and flexibility are key criteria. Packaged in
different form factors, they are designed to be placed on existing
fixtures such as a countertop, reception desk, or bedside, or as a
natural control interface and display. Medical monitor
certifications include UL2601/IEC 60601 and drip-proof IEC 529/IPX1,
which allows the monitor to be sterilized with hospital-grade disinfectants.
 Integrated
options include magnetic stripe readers (MSRs), speakers, and barcode scanners. Peripherals can be ergonomically integrated
into the housing and designed to flow with the refined styling of the
monitor.
 We
also offer customized monitors as well as specialized OEM touchmonitors
designed to be part of complete systems, from the nurses' station
to surgical imaging to the OR.
Elo Kiosk Touchmonitors
 Elo compact kiosk touchmonitors are specially designed to integrate easily
into your kiosk enclosure. These monitors typically include
Elo APR or surface acoustic wave touch technology, both widely used for
kiosk applications due to their resilient pure-glass surface.
Space-Saving Touchcomputers
 Elo all-in-one touchcomputers offer a complete system in the same footprint
as a standard monitor. Silent, fan-less, and with full connectivity,
they offer the ultimate in attractive, space-saving efficiency.
