Seal Shield Introduces World’s First Washable Keyboard with Integrated Smart Card Reader

Seal Shield partners with SCM Microsystems to introduce New Waterproof Keyboard with Smart Card Interface for Enhanced Security and Infection Prevention

Jacksonville, FL (July 20, 2010) – Seal Shield, LLC today announced, that in partnership with SCM Microsystems (Germany), the company has introduced the world’s first washable keyboard with integrated Smart Card Reader. The SEAL SMART™ Keyboard (S103R) is 100% waterproof, dishwasher safe, and features an SCM Smart Card Reader encapsulated in the ergonomic wrist rest for easy, front load access.

The SEAL SMART™ Keyboard has been created to help reduce the risk of worldwide cross contaminations, including H1N1, Norovirus and the “superbug,” MRSA. The integrated SCM Smart Card reader makes the product ideal for locations which require secure access via Smart Card technology. The product is essential for Federal
Government applications in healthcare and other potentially infectious or hazardous locations.

“From the infection prevention standpoint, I believe this is the most significant advance I have seen in 2 decades of practice,” states William “BUGZ” Hamilton, RN, CIC Infection Prevention- Veterans Health Administration (VA).
Unlike any other keyboard with integrated smart card reader, the SEAL SMART™ Keyboard is 100% waterproof and dishwasher safe. Additionally, Silver Seal™ technology protects the product with an antimicrobial, fungistatic additive that inhibits the growth of microbes, odor-causing bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi on the product’s
surfaces.

The SEAL SMART™ Keyboard (S103R) features an integrated SCR3310v2.0 card reader which supports ISO/IEC 7816 smart card class A, B, C. The reader is FIPS 201 compliant and TAA certified. The SEAL SMART™ Keyboard features true type, laser etched keys, 24K Gold USB connector, and Quick Connect™ USB cable. The keyboards
are currently in stock and sell for $69.99 MSRP.

Seal Shield™ designs, develops and manufactures medical grade, infection prevention technology for hospitals and the home. The products are distributed by CDW, CDW-G, DELL, PC Connection, GovConnection, MicroAge, PC Mall, and other reseller partners.
