Medical edge computers with an IP65 front

Asked as: “We wipe down carts in the OR between cases. Which medical edge computers have an IP65 front?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Two of our medical edge computers have an IP65-rated front: the Optio A150 and the Optio A100, both made by MBX Systems (AHEAD).

The two are the same type of system on the same module. The main difference is memory: 64 GB in the A150 and 32 GB in the A100. What I couldn't confirm: - Only the front is rated. The IP65 rating covers just the front. I couldn't find a rating for the rest of the enclosure, so plan your wipe-downs around the front panel. ahead.com +1ahead.com ↗“powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin with 64GB LPDDR5 and 64GB eMMC”ahead.com ↗“powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin with 32GB LPDDR5 and 64GB eMMC”

  • Cleaning agents. I couldn't find which disinfectants or cleaning chemicals are approved for either Optio model. Check this with MBX Systems (AHEAD) before choosing your OR cleaning products.
  • The other six medical edge computers. No IP rating is listed for the Portwell MEDS-5210, Barco Nexxis Compute, Dedicated Computing M1300, RDP Clinical Edge Compact, RDP Radiology AI Station or RDP Hospital AI Server. That doesn't mean they aren't sealed, only that I can't confirm it either way. Barco Nexxis Compute is also still in development. barco.combarco.com ↗“Surgical computing platform in development by Barco”
