Anti-theft Wi-Fi tag Manual cleaning station

Ekahau’s Wi-Fi L4 Laptop tag is a small flat unit designed to be plugged into the ExpressCard slot. The tag works with the Ekahau RTLS (Real Time Location System) which can track and manage the tags anywhere on a campus that has Wi-Fi coverage. The Ekahau RTLS system can alert users if a laptop or tablet computer leaves a designated area or if it enters e.g. an unsecure area. The L4 features a built-in motion sensor to detect movement and to manage how the tag communicates. A tamper alert switch detects if the tag is being removed from a laptop and as a programmable SOC (System on a Chip) design allows the tag to be configured to the user’s exact requirements.

The Ecolab Manual Cleaning Station provides tools for effective and efficient manual cleaning, a critical step in instrument reprocessing. The wall-mounted system removes clutter. The fatigue reduction mat offers improved staff comfort. Standardization of the manual cleaning process provides consistent instrument cleaning results. The process wall card provides visual, step-by-step illustrations for manual cleaning best practices. The use of one wall mounted multi-enzymatic product helps to further standardize the process and frees up valuable counter space. The sink fill line sticker and dosing pump assure a consistent dilution each time the sink is filled.
