NEWS >> Motion Computing Chooses Intermec EA15 Scan Engine for Reliability and 1D and 2D Scanning Performance THE INTERMEC EA15 SCAN ENGINE has been chosen by Motion Computing, the world’s largest manufacturer of tablet PCs for the healthcare industry, to serve as the embedded bar code scanner for the C5 mobile clinical assistant (MCA) tablet PC. The C5, the first-ever MCA, is based on input from thousands of clinicians worldwide and developed from the ground up with the needs of nurses and doctors in mind. The Intermec EA15 omnidirectional area imager embedded in the Motion C5 reads 1D and 2D bar codes on medications, patient and nurse IDs, and medical equipment and disposables. Combined, these represent all critical parts of the five “rights” of medicine administration: right medication, right dosage, right patient, right route and right time. “The Intermec EA15 scan engine was a logical choice to serve as a scanning foundation for the C5 Mobile Clinical Assistants,” said Jerome Kearns, senior vice president of operations for Motion Computing. “The EA15 scanning performance allows clinicians to quickly, reliably and safely read all 1D and 2D bar codes used in a hospital with minimal effort, reducing chances of medication error and improving the quality of patient care.” The EA15 is an ultracompact high-performance 2D imager engine, ideal for OEM applications in both mobile and fixed devices including handheld terminals and scanners, PDAs, medical devices, kiosks, lottery terminals and access control devices. The EA15 is built to match the most demanding scanning requirements, providing consistent scanning performance in total darkness or full sunshine and over a large temperature range. The EA15 is based on solid-state technology and complies with the most stringent standards for exposure to shock and vibration. ❙ 12 realtime / 2008
