摘要 A healthcare keyboard is provided with a key matrix (301) having contact zones (303a, 3O3...n), arranged to represent the layout of a keyboard, a processor (302) adapted to receive a signal from the key matrix (301) indicating whether a contact zone (303 a, 303...n), is open or closed and to transmit data to an external device, and a dedicated "clean" key. The processor (302) is arranged to switch between a first mode of operation, in which the processor (302) is adapted to process data from the keys in the key matrix (301) and a second mode of operation in which the processor (302) is adapted to disregard signals from the keys in the key matrix (301) in response to receipt of an interrupt signal from the dedicated "clean" key. Certain novel key shapes, profiles and cross sections are described, as well as internal arrangements and methods of use.
