Advantech Delivers Faster and More Flexible Medical Computing Platforms(Slim Point-of-Care Terminals: POC-S155 /S175)Date: 3/24/2006
 Advantech has upgraded POC Slim Series panel computers to help medical personnel care for patients in a faster and safer way. The 15” POC-S155 and 17” POC-S175 now feature a choice of processors up to Pentium M 1.4 GHz for more responsive applications thatsave time. Upgraded models have an optional built-in uninterruptible power supply that provides 30 minutes of operational power for safer data storage and graceful shutdown of applications.
Fast and Flexible
The Pentium M 1.4 GHz processor in the POC-S155 and POC-S175 makes them the fastest slim medical point of care terminals in their class. Optional Celeron M 1.0 GHz or Pentium 1.1 GHz processor, 802.11b/g wireless LAN module with antenna, touchscreen, and 4100 mAh battery pack are available to satisfy a wider range of eHeathcare applications. These clinical information system applications include mobile nurse stations and bedside terminals.
Lean, Clean, Quiet, and Dependable
 The speed and flexibility of the POC-S155 and POC-S175 fits into a 3.28” slim chassis that weighs just 6 or 7.2 kg respectively (including battery). These panel computers are designed for low thermal emission, so there’s no need for noisy fans that attract and trap contaminants inside the chassis. The front panel is IP65 sealed and the rest of the chassis is IPX1 sealed, so dust and fluid-borne contagion can easily be removed with alcohol. Apart from being cleaner, this fanless design is quieter for patients and medical personnel. If main power is lost, the optional built-in lithium-ion battery pack provides operational power for 30 minutes. This feature along with the fanless and sealed design makes the POC-S155 and POC-S175 a dependable solution for medical applications.
