Upgraded third-generation point-of-care carts now available for hospitals, clinics.
St. Paul, MN (PRWEB) May 16, 2007 -- You asked. We listened--and delivered--a point-of-care cart that delivers even more caregiver efficiency, patient safety and quality care. Ergotron, the proven leader in point-of-care computing, according to a survey conducted by Healthcare IT News in July 2006, is pleased to announce the much anticipated third-generation StyleView Carts are now available. Introduced at this year's annual HIMSS conference in New Orleans, the latest version of StyleView Carts received extremely enthusiastic industry-wide attention.
Embedded with the same unparalleled features of the original StyleView, the new carts--available in powered and non-powered versions for both LCD and Notebook use--now provide an additional five-inches of independent monitor height adjustment that increases comfort and productivity for personalized viewing of medical data. Other new features on the latest version of StyleView Carts include:
| | - StyleLink software (Windows Vista compatible), which offers battery cycle count, e-mail alerts and free software updates to improve power system management and extend battery life on all powered carts.
- Secure, programmable auto-locking drawer controlled by an electronic keypad--perfect for medication delivery--for enhanced patient safety.
- Rigid keyboard platform for easier mousing and typing.
- 12-degree negative-tilt keyboard tray so wrists remain in a neutral position during data entry, helping healthcare workers avoid repetitive-stress injuries.
- Easy-to-clean external 10-foot coiled cord with all powered carts, and an enclosed cable management storage area that makes it easy to keep cables concealed and organized.
