Advantech releases the PIN-M106 fanless mini-PC and the PDC-190, a 19” high resolution LCD display. Together they are designed to facilitate patient care and assist diagnosis by medical personnel. The system is suitable for medical environments such as the surgical room where high brightness displays and visibility from a wide range of angles is important. The mini-PC supports 1600 x 1200 dual displays, and a variety of I/O connections. It has a fan less design for quiet operation, and its slim housing is ideal in space-conscious environments. The mini-PC is equipped with three gigabit LAN, two RS-232, four USB, DVI-I and DVI-D ports, connecting conveniently to a wide range of medical equipment. The graphics chip supports dual displays operating in an independent, extended, or mirrored mode.

The PDC-190 is a high resolution and high contrast display with a 19” MVA-type LCD flat panel. It outperforms the competition, with a 1000:1 contrast ratio, high brightness setting, and wide angle view (85°/85°/85°/85°). The display’s 600 cd/m2 brightness setting delivers easily viewable, precise quality medical images and is suitable for image intense applications such as digital radiology. The PDC-190 is IP65-certified with a dust-tight and water resistant front panel, and both are IPX1-certified with water resistant enclosures. In addition, UL60601-1/EN60601-1 certifications for lower electrical emissions allow the system to be operated near the patient bedside, and without fear of causing interference with other medical equipment.
