20” Laptop Computer Cabinet with Locking Storage

BV2035

Our BayView 2842 is a great computer cabinet that even won a national design award a while back. We've continued to refine the cabinet. We have versions that are 4" deep for used for hallway computing as well as the original that was 7.5" deep, designed for use in the patient room. The deeper computer cabinets allow room to include an articulating arm, can hold more options for the actual CPU and can include an integrated medication box.

We've recently created a scaled down version of the 2842 for a facility who was using laptops and wanted an integrated medication box. We took the overall design of the 2842 and crossed it with our 2023 laptop unit. The result is our BV2035 pictured here. The unit has ample space for medications or supply storage plus can house many of the wider laptops.

COW's=Computers on Wheels, Computers on Walls

We know what WE call our products but what do our customers call them when they are in use? I recently received some results from a poll of nurses, doctors, healthcare IT staff and others about what THEY call our type of products.

One response was Computer on Wall, which really made lots of sense. The computers on wheels (or COW) is a popular option across many facilities. There are, however, some issues with this form of point-of-care computing. Besides the issue of battery life and charging (which usually happens in hallways), carts have a large footprint in a room and are cumbersome to move around all day. Not to mention that most hospitals have dead zones of wireless connectivity. We actually visited a facility that had colored tape on the floor to signify dead zones. With a wall mounted charting desk a network drop can be added to directly wire the CPU to the network.

What we do at Cygnus is take the technology of a cart and put it in a stationary, secure, wall mounted enclosure. Our cabinets become attractive fixtures on the wall, leaving the entire floor unobstructed. So, I guess that Computer on Wall isn't so far off.

Anatomy of a Cabinet

Caregivers need to enter health information at the point of care to help reduce errors. Our workstations are designed to help maximize floor space in a patient room or hallway. All of our cabinets have a range of security options from simple keyed locks to sophisticated networked locks which can be opened with the swipe of a prox card.
