Antimicrobial Housing Design
Philips SpeechMike's feature the ground-breaking antimicrobial surface. The new housing impedes the reproduction of microorganisms, which is important for use in a clinical environment and will furthermore benefit individuals with allergies. The antimicrobial effect is based on an additive that is put into the plastic before molding the housing parts, and is homogenous in the plastic material. It is not based on a coating and therefore cannot be wiped off by any cleaning detergents. This means that the antimicrobial effect is also within the holes of the microphone and speaker.
