T5 TECHNOLOGY CART NOW SHIPPING
Revolutionary Ergonomic Point-of-Care Solution Addresses Shortcomings of Competing Carts
New York, February 20, 2007 — Humanscale Healthcare’s award-winning T5 Point-of-Care Technology Cart is now available for purchase through EnovateIT, a leading provider of mobile wireless solutions and a premier global systems integrator for the healthcare industry. The T5 combines unmatched ergonomic comfort and mobility with a high-performance power system for both laptops and PCs in healthcare environments.
Winner of the Grand Prize for Workplace Productivity Solutions in the 2005 Innovations competition presented by Buildings Magazine, the T5 provides the first truly ergonomic healthcare technology cart solution. Extensive research and interviews with regular point-of-care cart users led to the development of the key features of the T5, aimed at excelling where similar cart solutions fall short, including comfort for a wide range of users, maximum mobility in confined spaces, and long-lasting power.
Designed to meet the ergonomic requirements of 99% of users in both sitting and standing postures, the T5’s keyboard, monitor, and work surface are each independently adjustable for maximum user comfort. Humanscale’s patented one-touch adjustable keyboard support technology ensures healthy typing and mousing, while a gas cylinder operated by a foot pedal allows for easy overall changes in the T5’s height. All adjustments can be made simply and intuitively.
The T5 combines ultra light weight with one of the smallest footprints available to ensure easy mobility in tight corridors, around hospital beds, and other small spaces. Additional mobility features include push/pull handles on three sides and high-quality casters that transition easily between carpeted and hard surfaces.
The T5’s energy-conscious and quick-charging internal power system stays cool without a fan, which helps limit the spread of contagions. Available with a 40-amp/hour battery and three AC outlets, the T5 provides eight hours of continuous use between chargings, and recharges 75% in just one hour. A visible power gauge and audible alarm alerts users when power is diminishing, while an optional 10-foot retractable power cable system, conveniently positioned at the same height as hospital outlets, can be easily accessed for charging and cord management.
Designed by the Humanscale Design Studio, the T5 contains more than 50% recycled materials and is itself 95% recyclable. Unique security locks, an inset work area, optional storage drawers, and a sleek design aesthetic are also among the many details that complete this innovative cart solution.
