Without them, healthcare staff would require significantly more time to review\/update patient records and many of the now standard medical procedures would be impossible to perform. For the safety of patients and staff who interact with medical equipment, computers in a hospital should be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/teguar.com\/eu\/medical-computers\/\">medical-grade PCs<\/a>. The most critical features of a medical-grade computer are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-ul-en-60601-1-medical-certification\">1. UL\/EN 60601-1 Medical Certification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to ensure that a medical device will not adversely interact with surrounding electrical equipment, computers are tested against rigorous regulatory standards. The UL\/EN 60601-1 certification is the core certification that you should look for when selecting a hospital computer system\u2026especially if the computers are being placed near to sensitive equipment or to patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-anti-bacterial-unit-housing\">2. Anti-bacterial Unit Housing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preventing the growth and spread of dangerous germs is a top concern for hospital staff. So-called \u201csuperbugs\u201d present one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/teguar.com\/eu\/blog\/hidden-dangers-of-hospital-stays\">greatest risks to patients during their hospital stay<\/a>. To help limit the ability of superbugs to form at healthcare facilities, look for hospital computers that have an anti-bacterial unit housing. These protective plastic housings significantly reduce the ability of germs to settle on them and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-isolated-input-output-ports\">3. Isolated Input\/Output Ports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/teguar.com\/eu\/patient-monitoring-computer\/\" title=\"Patient Monitoring Computer\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"25\">computers are used to monitor patients<\/a>, administer medications, or perform procedures, they must be designed in a way that will not put the patient at risk. An electrical surge presents a serious risk to patients that are connected to the computer device. The best way to mitigate this risk is to ensure the input\/output ports connected to the patient are outfitted with 4kV isolation. This serves to protect the patient and\/or medical staff from a power surge travelling through the hospital computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-tpm-encryption-processor\">4. TPM Encryption Processor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Medical grade touchscreen bedside computer\" src=\"https:\/\/teguar.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/medical-bedside-computer.jpg\" style=\"float:right\">Cyber security is of vital importance to hospitals, as patient information and medical records are required to be protected under multiple government standards. Most hospitals utilize a software-based solution for protecting <a href=\"https:\/\/teguar.com\/eu\/electronic-medical-records-computer\/\" title=\"Electronic Medical Records Computer\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"26\">electronic medical records<\/a> (EMRs), but this only solves part of the problem. To ensure a fully secure computing environment, hospitals should purchase computers that come equipped with a trusted platform module (TPM). The TPM serves as a hardware authentication tool to be used in conjunction with software-based security solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-medical-grade-hospital-computer-solutions\">Medical-grade Hospital Computer Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teguar offers a wide selection of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/teguar.com\/eu\/?s=medical+touchscreen\">medical-grade touchscreen PC<\/a>&nbsp;options for nurse stations, medical carts, bedside terminals, medication mixing stations, and operating rooms.
