Chapter 3 Using your Tablet PC 53Bluetooth wireless tipsMotion Computing and its Bluetooth partners have worked to ensure a positive experience with this technology, and to ensure Bluetooth interoperability. In doing so, we have found the following issues:•If you are running Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time, interference can affect the Bluetooth performance. This is most noticeable when you try to transfer large amounts of data, such as file transfers or printing large documents. This may also be noticeable when you try to transfer large or small amounts of data may if several Bluetooth devices are operating simultaneously in an office.•Bluetooth audio has not been fully developed for speech recognition. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you not use a Bluetooth wireless headset. Moreover, Motion Speak Anywhere can record clear audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands without a microphone headset.•Some Bluetooth devices will disconnect when they go into power-saving mode. Most devices will automatically reconnect when they become active again.•If you attempt to install other wireless headset or other audio drivers (such as Bluetooth or USB) over the Tablet PC audio drivers, a malfunction of the Tablet PC audio system may occur because the drivers may not be compatible.•Occasionally, some Bluetooth device compatibility issues can occur. If you are having problems with interoperability of Bluetooth devices, contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth device and check its compatibility with the Bluetooth software installed on your Tablet PC.Finding additional softwareFor information about other tablet-oriented software, go to the Motion Computing software page at www.motioncomputing.com/products/software_motion.asp.You will find links to software solutions for purchase as well as free downloads from Motion software and service partners.

Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance 57Cleaning in a health care environmentThis section describes the cleaning procedures for a Tablet PC in a health care environment.Disinfecting procedures You should periodically disinfect the tablet according to the institutional polices of surface and equipment safety and cleanliness.According to the Centers for Disease Control, “items that do not ordinarily touch the patient or touch only intact skin are not involved in disease transmission, and generally do not necessitate disinfection between uses on different patients”.1 We recommend using an EPA-approved low-level disinfectant when general cleaning is required. For a list of cleaning solutions tested by Motion Computing, see “Cleaning solutions” on page 58.If the tablet becomes soiled with blood or other body fluids, chemical germicides that are EPA-approved for use as hospital disinfectants and that are tuberculocidal/virucidal when used at recommended dilutions and contact times can be used. Visibly soiled areas should first be cleaned and then chemically decontaminated. For disinfection, the cleaned areas should be moistened with the appropriate germicide and allowed to air dry.2If a tablet is used with patients who are infected or colonized with vancomycin-resistant enterococci or other drug-resistant microorganisms judged by the infection control program (based on current state, regional, or national recommendations, to be of special or clinical or epidemiologic significance or with highly virulent microorganisms such as Ebola or Lassa), then the tablet should be dedicated to one patient or patient cohort or subjected to low-level disinfection between patient uses.1Training and documentation considerationsAll users of Motion Tablet PCs in the health care environment should be provided with training on proper cleaning procedures. Cleaning procedures should be added to the institution's policies and procedures for infection control.1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Sterilization or Disinfection of Medical Devices-General Principles.” 2002.<www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/bp_sterilization_medDevices.html> (20 Sept. 2006).2.
