In the design of industrial tablet computers, the long-term consideration points will be requested, such as a wide temperature operation environment, long-term stable operation requirements, etc. And due to many medical devices need to connect to various equipment, they need to support many interface protocols. The common interfaces are serial port, USB, LAN, LPT, and the expansion interface includes PCI, PCIe, mini PCIe. And it also has a variety of display interfaces, such as VGA, LVDS, HDMI, DVI, etc. Because of the particularity of medical equipment, it also requires that the industrial tablet PC should be built-with anti-shock, anti-static, and other special designs.
Industrial tablet PCs can be used in many kinds of medical instruments, such as life information and supporting equipment, clinical detection equipment, digital ultrasound equipment, radiation imaging, etc.
In the smart medical and healthcare applications, the industrial tablet PCs suitable used for embedding into other medical equipment, playing the role of touching control and displaying function, and the screen resolution should be very high for displaying clear, high-quality medical parameters for the doctors. Besides, it usually adopts the Android operating system for providing a better human-machine interactive operation experience.
Some specific medical applications for the industrial Android tablet PC are as below.
1. Life information and supporting equipment: various monitors, multi-parameter monitor, central monitoring system, anesthesia machine, ventilator, dynamic electrocardiogram machine, health all-in-one machine, intelligent ward, etc.
2. Clinical detection: blood cell analyzer, near-infrared tissue blood oxygen parameter non-destructive detector, biochemical analyzer, electrolyte analyzer, etc.
3. Digital ultrasound: color desktop / portable ultrasound instrument, black and white ultrasound instrument, etc.
4. Radiation imaging: digital X-ray imaging system (DR), magnetic resonance imaging system (MRI), CT machine, etc.
In addition to being used in medical equipment, industrial tablet PCs are also widely used in industrial control, industrial automation, instrumentation, traffic control, information systems, financial terminals, self-service terminals, digital networks, power, and other fields.
