Fanless Industrial PCs for Medical & Healthcare — IPCtech
EN 60601-certified fanless medical panel PCs for diagnostics, patient monitoring, and surgical displays: silent, antimicrobial, and IP65 rated.
Silent, hygienic, EN60601-certified computing platforms for diagnostic imaging, patient monitoring, surgical navigation, and hospital information systems.
Industry Challenges
Cooling fans spread contaminants in sterile environments
Impact: Fan-cooled computers circulate airborne pathogens and collect dust that harbors bacteria. Operating rooms, ICUs, and cleanrooms require fanless, sealed computers that can be disinfected.
IPCtech Solution: IPCtech fanless panel PCs use passive aluminum chassis cooling with zero airflow. Sealed IP65 front panels can be wiped down with hospital-grade disinfectants. Antimicrobial coating optional.
Audible noise interferes with patient care and diagnostics
Impact: Cooling fan noise (35-45 dBA) disturbs patients in recovery, interferes with auscultation during examinations, and is unacceptable in sleep labs and audiology suites.
IPCtech Solution: IPCtech fanless computers operate at 0 dBA — completely silent. No moving parts means no acoustic signature, essential for noise-sensitive medical environments.
Standard displays lack medical-grade accuracy and certifications
Impact: Diagnostic imaging requires DICOM-calibrated displays with specific luminance, contrast ratios, and color accuracy. Consumer displays cannot meet IEC 60601 electrical safety requirements.
IPCtech Solution: IPCtech offers EN60601-certified panel PCs with high-brightness, high-contrast displays suitable for medical imaging review. Electrical isolation meets medical safety standards for patient vicinity use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are your medical computers EN60601 certified?
IPCtech offers EN60601-1 and EN60601-1-2 compliant configurations for medical electrical equipment. This includes 2×MOPP (Means of Patient Protection) isolation, low leakage current, and EMC compliance for medical environments. Please specify medical certification requirements when ordering.
Q: Can the panel PCs be disinfected with hospital cleaners?
Yes. IPCtech IP65-sealed front panels use chemical-resistant glass and bezel materials compatible with common hospital disinfectants including 70% isopropyl alcohol, quaternary ammonium compounds, and 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solutions.
Q: Do you offer antimicrobial coating?
Yes. Optional silver-ion antimicrobial coating is available on IPCtech panel PC enclosures and touchscreens. This reduces bacterial colonization on high-touch surfaces in clinical environments.
Q: What is the product lifecycle for medical configurations?
IPCtech maintains medical configurations for a minimum of 5-7 years with fixed BOM control. We provide 6-12 months advance notice before any component change that could affect medical recertification.
