The Toughbook H2’s polycarbonate-encased magnesium alloy chassis is built with an IP65 certified, sealed, all-weather design. It is MIL-STD-810G-certified for drops up to 6 feet, shock, vibration, rain, dust, sand, altitude, freeze/thaw, high/low temperature, temperature shock, humidity, and explosive atmospheres. A MIL-STD-461F-certified model for electromagnetic compatibility is available.
For healthcare environments, the Toughbook H2 has a fully-sealed design, with no fan vents or exposed ports, for easy disinfection, reducing the risk of potentially pathogenic microorganisms being spread from patient to patient. The device is a secure and intuitive platform for barcode medication administration (BCMA), vitals capture and electronic medical records (EMR) capture and review.
The Toughbook H2 is available from authorized Panasonic resellers starting at an estimated price of $3,349. The Toughbook H2 is backed with a three-year limited international warranty. †
