OKW said the MEDITEC line is designed primarily for high-quality, high-value healthcare and laboratory electronics. It is also suited for feedback control, test and measurement, communications and network technology, data collection, control peripherals, modems and interfaces.

For robustness, the enclosures feature strengthening ribs at the top and base of the units. They come with clip-in side trims with or without ventilation to hide the fixing screws. Screw pillars are inside the enclosures for installing PCBs and components. Four screw-on, non-slip feet are included for stability in desktop applications.

In addition, the enclosures are easy-to-assemble and can be specified with or without a bail arm (accessory) that doubles as a desk stand. This can be adjusted in increments of 30°.

The MEDITEC line is molded from ABS (UL 94 HB). The standard color is off-white (RAL 9002) with either lagoon green or case-colored side trims. Custom colors are available on request.

The enclosures are available in four plan sizes from 6.30 × 7.87 inches to 11.42 × 10.24 inches in accordance with double and extended Eurocard-sized PCBs. The two standard heights are 2.88 inches and 4.82 inches. Optional side panels add 1.95 inches.

Accessories include a sloping control panel, which creates a desktop reading angle of 30° or a wall reading angle of 60°, and an infill panel, which is needed for 4.82-inch-high cases with a sloping panel and allows for the mounting of connectors for probes and data cables. Other accessories include wall mounting brackets, side panel connectors, stacking elements for securing several devices and PCB mounting screws.

The MEDITEC enclosures are customizable. Services include CNC machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, special materials, RFI/EMI shielding and installation/assembly of accessories.
