Coeur d’Alene, ID, October 26, 2007—Advanced Input Systems has developed a line of infection-control keyboards for medical environments to address studies that have shown keyboards to be a significant source of bacterial cross-contamination. The new Essential is the latest in the series and can be quickly cleaned in place with any hospital grade disinfectants.

Al Yost, President of Advanced Input Systems, said at the time of the product release, “the Essential is a cost-effective alternative to conventional keyboards that are nearly impossible to clean and keyboard covers that impede typing speed and accuracy.”

Advanced Input Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esterline Technologies Corporation, manufactures specialized keyboards, standard and custom control panels and input systems. Esterline is a leading specialty manufacturer of highly engineered products for aerospace, defense and medical markets.
