Use Cases

ePrescribe Environments

Supports multifactor authentication workflows used in DEA-compliant electronic prescribing environments.

Healthcare Workstations

For shared nursing stations and clinical desktops requiring secure authentication, rapid user transitions, and habitual disinfection support.

Shared Enterprise Workstations

Designed for organizations requiring secure desktop authentication across high-traffic enterprise environments.

Key Challenges Addressed by the Product

Healthcare organizations often face two challenges at the same workstation:

Secure access to patient information

Shared workstations need fast, reliable authentication without relying on separate peripheral devices. An optimal solution combines badge-based access and fingerprint authentication in one form factor to support multifactor security in environments where patient information must be protected.

Infection prevention

Traditional keyboards have crevices that collect dirt and germs and are difficult to disinfect thoroughly. Healthcare needs an optimized solution that discourages buildup of dirt and germs, supports regular cleaning, and helps prevent cross-contamination.

Integrated authentication in one device

The keyboard includes an embedded rf IDEAS WaveID® Plus contactless proximity card reader and HID® TouchChip TCET Module, giving healthcare organizations an integrated path to multifactor authentication at the desktop.

Designed for routine disinfection

The keyboard’s impervious, crevice-free silicone surface can be disinfected with wipes, sprayed with cleaners, and scrubbed with soap, making it a practical fit for shared clinical spaces.

Enables software-guided, habitual user cleaning

The LinkSmart cleaning button temporarily disables keys, allowing staff to disinfect the keyboard without generating accidental input. Cleaning is user-friendly and becomes habitual, prompted by San-a-Key® scheduled cleaning popup reminders.

Supports infection control compliance

Optional San-a-Key® software guides users through the cleaning process with an onscreen keyboard that tracks progress in real time. Onscreen keys change color as they are wiped, ensuring full-coverage, thorough cleaning, followed by a timed dwell period to allow disinfectants to take effect before reactivating the keyboard.

Full-size usability for clinical productivity

Provides a standard full-size layout with full-travel keys, supporting efficient data entry in clinical environments.

Accommodates cart-based workflows

The keyboard fits mobile cart keyboard trays for providing convenient bedside patient care.

Supports ePrescribe-ready environments

The KSI-2000 SX HFFFB-21 is ePrescribe-ready and provides the first factor of two-factor authentication for meeting DEA-mandated electronic prescription requirements.

Acts as a Desktop Endpoint Security Hub

Consolidates authentication and access control into a single device at the workstation — reducing reliance on separate peripherals while strengthening security at the endpoint.

Helps reduce desktop clutter

Instead of relying on separate external authentication devices, this model consolidates keyboard, card reader, fingerprint reader, and cleaning control into one endpoint. The detachable USB connection also supports convenient removal without disturbing the cabling bundle.

Conserves thin and zero client ports

All integrated functions — keyboard input, RFID badge reading, and biometric authentication — are routed through a single USB connection, helping to preserve limited ports on thin and zero clients while reducing the need for additional external devices.

The KSI-2000 SX HFFFB-21 is a disinfectable medical-grade keyboard designed for healthcare organizations that need both infection prevention and secure desktop access. The keyboard integrates a dual-frequency contactless proximity card reader, biometric fingerprint sensor, and cleaning button into a single full-size keyboard.

Its covered silicone design supports routine disinfection, while the LinkSmart button helps staff clean the keyboard safely without accidental keystrokes and reinforces habitual cleaning. Optional San-a-Key software can extend this workflow with onscreen cleaning guidance, reminders, and monitoring tools.

By combining badge authentication, biometrics, and a cleanable keyboard surface in one device, the KSI-2000 SX HFFFB-21 offers a practical alternative to traditional keyboards and separate add-on peripherals in shared healthcare environments.
