Health and safety represent the WETKEYS mission. We take an urgent public health emergency like the Swine Flu outbreak very seriously. As Swine Influenza continues to spread and the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) work quickly to provide recommendations for Swine Flu Prevention, WETKEYS strongly recommends washing your keyboard and mouse when you wash your hands.

Reports from WHO, the CDC and international medical experts confirm that the path of transmission for swine influenza includes contact surfaces. Dr. Richard Besser, acting head for the CDC, says that as a preventive measure, “I would rather people really focus on hand washing.” In addition, the CDC recommends that people try not to touch surfaces that may be contaminated by the flu virus.

All shared computers are a potential health hazard, particularly if an individual with flu symptoms uses the keyboard and mouse. Washing with hot soapy water or using chemical disinfecting spray may be sufficient to eliminate the threat posed by the swine flu virus on data entry surfaces.

To help keep you safe and healthy, WETKEYS offers the largest selection of washable, sanitary and easy to disinfect keyboards and computer mice – the things you touch all day. WETKEYS products are Your Key to Good Health

Visiting a friend in the hospital I noticed that every technician who came to draw blood, dispense medication or record vitals arrived wheeling a mobile cart with equipment and supplies - and a very dirty computer keyboard that they had to type on to record every action.  The keyboard had a plastic keyboard cover on it but the technicians wear gloves and couldn’t type without lots of errors.  A WETKEYS washable keyboard is a much better solution because it’s easy to type on it with or without gloves and the keyboard can be fully washed, cleaned and sanitized.

The ideal mobile cart keyboard is the KBWKFC85 from WETKEYS.com because it’s compact, light, easy to use and a completely sealed keyboard which will hold up to constant disinfection many times each day.  It’s extremely important to sanitize keyboard surfaces between patients to prevent the spread of germs and disease in hospitals.  That’s how MRSA is transmitted in hospitals: dirty surfaces not properly disinfected between patients.

While checking out the Wetkeys keyboards I noticed in the “tech tab” the corded keyboard is compatible with Mac’s, but under the wireless “tech tab” it did not indicate that it was compatible.  Is it? I will probably get one if the wireless product is compatible with Mac’s. Thanks.
