Integrated security

The C5 has a number of healthcare-oriented security and compliance-oriented features that make it well suited for the hustle and bustle of the patient care environment. To ensure that only authorized users access sensitive patient data, use the biometric fingerprint reader or authenticate your badge with the RFID reader. Trusted Platform Module helps protect against inappropriate data transfers. Track and recover stolen or misplaced C5 units activated with ComputraceComplete (US and Canada only).
