5 Things Needed for 5+ Year Computers

Teguar computers are reliable and built to last. But, what is it that makes a computer “built to last?" In this blog, a few people who work at Teguar explain what features make computers last 5+ years.

1. Designed for Your Environment - Medical computers must be designed with medical applications in mind. Consumer-grade PCs on medical carts may be damaged by constant movement. Medical computers are also resistant to strong cleaning chemicals, which would wear or crack the bezel of a consumer grade computer.

2. Long Product Life Cycle - Medical computers are typically on the embedded roadmap, meaning they will be sold and supported by the manufacturer for many years. Many consumer-grade computers are only supported for about 2 years, so if that computer gets damaged, you'll likely have to replace it.

3. Adaptability to Hardware and Software Changes - Medical computers have the capability of expanding and changing with your software updates or new medical device integration. For example, a PCIe slot allows users to expand the computer’s I/Os, graphics capabilities or memory. So, when you're ready for an update, you can keep your current medical computers.

4. Service and Support - Medical computer providers must have excellent service and support. If your computer goes down, you can rest assured that Teguar will do all that we can to get your computer back up and running, as quickly as possible, so you can get back to your patients and avoid costly downtime.

5. Trustworthy Computer Provider - You trust your computer provider to deliver a computer that will be used in your operating room, patient bedside, in emergency medical situations, and more. At Teguar we adhere to a Quality Management System in accordance to ISO 9001:2015. We set and monitor our quality objectives to constantly measure and improve our effectiveness, so that our customers can trust us to provide reliable products, on time, with excellent support and service.
