iPads, droids, and bugs: Infection prevention for mobile handheld devices at the point of care.

Mary Lou Manning1, James Davis, Erin Sparnon, Raylene M Ballard.   

Abstract

Health care providers are increasingly using wireless media tablets, such as the Apple iPad, especially in the hospital setting. In the absence of specific tablet disinfection guidelines the authors applied what is known about the contamination of other nonmedical mobile communication devices to create a "common sense" bundle to guide wireless media tablet infection prevention practices.
