Use the keyboard as a regular full-size QWERTY input device for text entry, data recording and system control in clinical applications.

Recommendations

For prolonged service life, avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents that may degrade silicone. Use disinfectants approved by your institution and verify compatibility with silicone materials. Regularly inspect the keyboard for physical damage and replace it if the silicone membrane shows signs of wear or compromise to maintain hygiene standards.
