Xplore to provide rugged tablets to medical device engineering firm

USA: Xplore Technologies Corp.  will provide its iX104C5 Dual-Mode Lite (DML) rugged tablets to a leading medical equipment manufacturer to be utilized as a control unit for a medical device that temporarily takes over the function of a vital organ, helping to save lives. The order, valued at more than $2.5 million, is the continuation of a relationship that began in 2012.

“Our Dual-Mode Lite is a fully rugged tablet optimized for less resource-intensive applications, increased operational efficiency and total cost of ownership,” said Mark Holleran, president and COO for Xplore. “Because it’s IP67, which makes the tablet protected against liquids and contaminants of all types, the iX104C5 is perfect for medical and biopharmaceutical applications.”

“The medical industry has a keen need for rugged devices that can handle intricate and complicated tasks while withstanding the conditions of a medical environment,” said Philip S. Sassower, chairman and CEO for Xplore. “The expansion of our medical device relationship is an example of Xplore’s growth as a trusted OEM partner not only for the medical field, but also for utility diagnostics, and military suppliers.”

Xplore Technologies’ iX104C5 is the most rugged, powerful and longest-lasting industrial tablet PC in its class. The iX104C5 DML, which is designed for less process intensive applications, utilizes the Intel Celeron processor and is ideal for ambient indoor and outdoor light conditions.
