SAN JOSE, Calif., March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbor Solution announces an upgrade in front-bezel design and touch screen for its M1858C, an 18.5-inch bedside infotainment terminal. The M1858C is designed not only as a patient entertainment platform, but also as an effective clinical tool. The new flush front bezel presents a flat surface, which is easier to clean compared to a traditional bezel design that has crevices where dirt and germs can get caught.

The M1858C is based on the dual-core Intel® Atom™ processor N2800 at 1.86 GHz with Intel® NM10 express chipset, and a 1366 x 768 (WXGA) TFT LCD display with a 1000 nit backlight that delivers the sharpest quality image. Its user-friendly GUI with a 10-point flush-mounted projected capacitive screen complements the high-quality image display.

"The M1858C terminal gives medical staff bedside access to patient and hospital information, which increases work efficiency," said Brian Yurkiw, vice president of Arbor Solution. "In addition, it provides patient entertainment such as Internet access, video/TV watching, access to games/social networks, and a webcam to relieve anxiety during their stay."

There is no doubt that a safe and clean environment is vital for patient care. The M1858C features a noise-free fanless design, an IP-65 rated front panel with waterproof and anti-bacterial characteristics, as well as a flush front bezel to minimize cross contamination risks. In addition, the terminal is compliant with IEC60601-1 (3rd edition), EN60601-1 (3rd edition) and EN60601-1-2 standards to support user safety.

To further enhance security and safety, the terminal is equipped with a smartcard slot and a 5.0 megapixel front-facing camera that includes a privacy cover to protect sensitive assets and safeguard a patient's personal information. Optional features include a 1D/2D barcode scanner and an integrated RFID reader that helps to restrict access to sensitive patient data. Moreover, the M1858C comes with an optional remote controller to enable patients, via a call button, to alert the healthcare professional in an emergency. Nurses or caregivers can also communicate with patients faster through the M1858C's WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities, and provide or collect realtime patient information.

Supported operating systems include Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WS7P) and Linux: Ubuntu / Fedora. The M1858C is available worldwide with power configuration to meet your country's requirements.
