Medigenic infection control keyboards for hospitals in Australia and New Zealand.
OHM Healthcare supplies Medigenic infection control keyboards to hospitals, clinics and aged care across Australia and New Zealand. Medigenic keyboards have a sealed, IP67-rated silicone surface with no raised or recessed areas, so they can be cleaned in place with hospital-grade antibacterial wipes and sprays without being disconnected. A single keystroke disables the keyboard during cleaning, and the Medigenic Compliance model adds a user-defined, time-based cleaning alert.

Washable Medical Keyboards
Sealed, wipe-clean keyboards for shared clinical workstations.
Keyboards on shared clinical workstations, carts and nurses’ stations are touched by many hands between patients. Medigenic keyboards, sometimes searched for as washable medical keyboards or medical keypads, use a moisture-resistant, pliant silicone surface that is impervious to spray and liquid cleaning products, while keeping a tactile key response for fast documentation.
Infection-control IT peripherals from global manufacturers such as Medigenic, with supply, configuration and local support from OHM’s engineer-led team of ex-OEM clinical engineers across Australia and New Zealand, including cart and workstation set-ups.

Infection control keyboards: frequently asked questions
What is an infection control keyboard?
An infection control keyboard has a sealed, smooth surface, usually silicone, with no gaps around the keys, so it can be wiped with hospital-grade disinfectant products without liquid reaching the electronics. Medigenic keyboards are sealed to IP67 and also have a key that pauses input while you clean.
Who supplies Medigenic keyboards in Australia and New Zealand?
OHM Healthcare supplies Medigenic infection control keyboards across Australia and New Zealand, with Australian stock shipped from Tullamarine, Victoria, formal quotations and local support from OHM’s engineers.
Can Medigenic keyboards be cleaned with hospital disinfectant wipes?
Yes. Medigenic states its keyboards are easy to clean with hospital-grade antibacterial wipes and sprays and are impervious to liquid cleaning products, so they can be cleaned in place without disconnection. Follow your facility’s approved cleaning procedure and the cleaning product’s contact time.
What does IP67 mean for a keyboard?
IP67 is an ingress protection rating: dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water under the test conditions. Medigenic Essential and Compliance keyboards are sealed to IP67.
Is there a keyboard that reminds staff to clean it?
Yes. The Medigenic Compliance keyboard has a user-defined, time-based cleaning alert indicator that shows when the next clean is due, and a single keystroke disables the keyboard while it is being cleaned.
Which Medigenic keyboard suits a WOW or COW cart?
The Medigenic Compliance comes in a 102-key cart size (387 × 165 × 19.5 mm, 0.86 kg) as well as a 105-key standard size. OHM can supply keyboards with its workstation and cart configurations.
Are Medigenic keyboards antimicrobial?
Medigenic’s published datasheet does not describe the keyboards as antimicrobial. It describes a sealed, liquid-impervious silicone surface designed to be cleaned with hospital-grade antibacterial wipes and sprays. Infection control depends on your facility’s cleaning procedure and how often it is followed.
Are Medigenic keyboards medical devices?
No. Medigenic keyboards are IT equipment. Their listed approvals are CE (EN 60950 safety and EMC), FCC Part 15, UL/IEC 60950 and EN 55024 emissions and immunity.
