Use Cases

Clinical Authentication

Supports badge, biometric, and multifactor authentication workflows in healthcare environments requiring secure access to patient information.

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.

Key Challenges Addressed by the Product
Mobility plus limited space

Medical carts and bedside stations need compact devices that don’t interfere with workflow.

Secure access to patient data

Shared workstations must support fast, reliable authentication to protect PHI.

Frequent cleaning

Keyboards must withstand repeated disinfection without degrading usability.

Compact design for mobile clinical workflows

Smaller footprint fits easily on medical carts and bedside workstations, supporting care delivery without sacrificing usability.

Integrated multifactor authentication

Combines RFID badge reading and fingerprint biometrics into a single device, supporting secure logon workflows and protection of patient information.

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.

Designed for routine disinfection

The smooth, crevice-free silicone surface can be wiped, sprayed, or scrubbed, helping reduce cross-contamination risk at shared workstations.

Supports low-light clinical environments

Backlit, laser-etched keys with three levels of illumination allow continued productivity in darkened patient rooms.

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-1802R SX HFFFB-21 is a compact, disinfectable medical-grade keyboard designed for healthcare environments that require both infection control and secure desktop access. The keyboard integrates a dual-frequency contactless proximity card reader, biometric fingerprint sensor, and cleaning button into a single device optimized for mobile and space-constrained workstations.

With backlit keys for low-light visibility, a smooth silicone surface for routine disinfection, and LinkSmart cleaning technology, the keyboard supports clinical workflows without interruption. By combining multiple authentication and infection control functions into one compact endpoint, the KSI-1802R reduces device clutter while strengthening security at the point of care.

Is the keyboard designed for medical carts?

Yes. The compact footprint is ideal for placement on medical carts and at bedside.

Does the keyboard support multifactor authentication?

Yes. The keyboard integrates both an RFID card reader and fingerprint biometrics to support MFA workflows.

Can the keyboard be used in low-light patient rooms?

Yes. The keyboard includes backlit keys with three levels of illumination for visibility in dark environments.

How is the keyboard cleaned safely?

The LinkSmart cleaning button disables keys during cleaning, and the silicone surface supports wiping, spraying, and scrubbing using most hospital-approved cleaning products.

Is this product compatible with Imprivata?

Yes. The integrated authentication components are compatible with leading healthcare SSO platforms, including Imprivata.
