rf IDEAS and Seal Shield Partner to Deliver Integrated Healthcare Authentication and Infection Control Solution

rf IDEAS, a leading provider of credential readers for authentication and logical access, is pleased to share a strategic partnership with Seal Shield, innovators in healthcare infection control technology. 

This collaboration introduces an integrated solution that combines rf IDEAS' WAVE ID® technology with Seal Shield's Cleanwipe Pro waterproof keyboard featuring a built-in card reader mount.

Healthcare facilities face dual challenges: maintaining rigorous infection control standards while ensuring secure access to sensitive patient data. The partnership addresses both concerns through a purpose-built solution for healthcare environments.

"Healthcare professionals shouldn't have to choose between data security and infection control," said Jade Almaso, Healthcare Vertical Lead at rf IDEAS. "Our partnership with Seal Shield delivers a solution that excels at both, helping facilities maintain HIPAA compliance while supporting improved infection control protocols."

 The integrated solution offers multiple benefits for healthcare organizations:

• Enhanced Infection Control: The fully washable Cleanwipe Pro keyboard can be disinfected with medical-grade cleaning agents, helping reduce the spread of harmful bacteria including MRSA and VRE.
• Secure Authentication: Integrated WAVE ID® card reader technology enables multi-factor authentication for access to electronic health records and sensitive systems.
• Streamlined Workflows: Single sign-on capability allows healthcare workers to access multiple systems with one authentication step.
• Improved Mounting Solution: Purpose-built mount eliminates hygiene risks associated with Velcro™ attachments, which can harbor bacteria.

“This integrated solution represents a meaningful step forward in healthcare technology,” said Scott Filion, Chief Commercial Officer at Seal Shield. “We’ve combined our industry-leading washable keyboards with the trusted security of rf IDEAS’ WAVE ID® platform to deliver a next-generation product that addresses real-world challenges. It’s exciting to see innovation that supports both patient safety and data security in one device.”
