Irvine, California, May 18, 2011 – Advantech, a global embedded computing leader, is happy to announce a new generation of the MICA-101 mobile clinical assistant. The new MICA-101 (Version C) has the same integrated features and ergonomic design as its predecessor, but the new release has been enhanced to provide better imagery, faster storage, and better power, making it even more robust. MICA-101 mobile clinical assistant is suitable for EMR, HER, and Nursing Information Systems (NIS). It is a fanless system that is lightweight, portable and quiet to use, and it streamlines workflow while increasing productivity.
Feature-Enhanced, Fanless System for the Healthcare Environment
MICA-101’s fanless design and Intel® Atom™ processor are well suited to the healthcare environment. It is easy to clean and the sealed device fights infection control. It operates noiselessly—an absolute requirement near patient bedside. And with its lightweight, ergonomic design, it is easy for medical staff to carry while on rounds throughout the hospital or clinic. The new MICA-101 comes with an LED backlit display (providing a 600:1 contrast ratio with a brightness of 340 cd/m2), has greater dynamic image contrast, and uses 20~50% less power. The LED design is slimmer and easier on the environment. The new MICA-101 has double the storage capacity at 120 GB, with higher data transfer rates of 3 GB/second as compared to the 100 MB/second of its predecessor. And the new system features a two-way power design, meaning it supports battery power supplied while attached to the VESA cradle. MICA-101 also meets medical certifications for UL60601-1/EN60601-1, CE, FCC Class B, and CCC listings.
Designed to Meet the Demands of Mobile Point-of-Care Users
MICA-101 is designed for portable use anywhere it’s needed. It has a dual function touchscreen, with stylus and software keyboard, and an easy to use dashboard. Battery life is 5 ~ 6 hours with a charging station available to ensure a fresh battery is ready at a moment’s notice. The battery’s hot swap design allows the battery pack to be changed with the MICA-101 in sleep mode which keeps the unit in service longer. It comes with the flexibility of integrated I/O device connectors and a USB port. Medical professionals find MICA-101 reliable, convenient, and intuitive to use.
The new MICA-101 (Version C) mobile clinical assistant is available now. For more information about the MICA-101, information about other Advantech Medical Computing products, or general information, please contact an Advantech sales representative, or visit the website at: www.advantech.com.
