Just what clinicians want
The Flo 1750 brings the clinician closer to the patient. Its sleek,
lightweight design enables clinicians to do more where it matters
most – at the point of care. Access to real-time patient information
allows the clinician to interact more with patients, and significantly
reduces the opportunity for error. No solution is easier to use or
better designed from the clinician’s perspective.
Made with IT in mind
IT departments like the Flo 1750 because it is a single-sourced,
integrated solution, is reliable, comes with standard components,
and is supported by a team of technical professionals trained
to work with IT and clinical staff. The Flo 1750 also comes fully
assembled – simply roll it out of the box, charge the battery, and
put it to work.
Delivering to the administrators’ needs
The Flo 1750 provides hospitals with a value-based, premium
solution administrators can believe in. Backed by a 100 percent
satisfaction guarantee, the Flo mobile clinical workstation is an
effective tool to improve hospital processes, with a total cost of
ownership that makes sense.

without compromising the highest standards in patient safety. With
these demands in mind, Flo Healthcare has designed the Flo 1750
to make users’ lives a little easier.

Ready to go, out of the box
Multiple unit configurations
Ergonomic design
Ergonomic design is synonymous with ease-of-use
Flo 1750 is designed to provide healthcare practitioners with the convenience of a true nurses’
workstation, without becoming heavy or cumbersome. With its small footprint, the Flo 1750 is
designed for mobility – allowing easy access even in cramped quarters. On the other hand, a large
work surface provides ample room for charting and convenient access to a full-size keyboard. The
Flo 1750 also features a full-size monitor for better viewing, with height and tilt adjustments to
reduce eyestrain and back fatigue. And – unlike many workstations – all of the Flo 1750’s wires
and cables are enclosed within the body of the cart, reducing the dangers of snagging or catching
while on the move.
Flexible for how you work
Flo Healthcare understands that flexibility is key when purchasing mobile workstations – not all
clinicians, hospitals, or even floors have the same requirements. So the Flo 1750 offers a variety of
options from wire baskets to cash boxes – allowing each facility to create its ideal configuration.
And through partnerships with selected innovative, quality-focused companies, Flo Healthcare
offers a wide range of peripherals that can be fully integrated into the Flo 1750. These include
handheld units, barcode scanners, vitals technology, and a Life-span rail system.
An integrated solution with appeal
The Flo 1750 is a fully integrated, turnkey solution that includes mobile cart, hardware, display, and
wireless components, in multiple unit configurations. The Flo workstations arrive fully assembled
– simply roll out of the box, charge the battery, and start using. Made from structural materials
that are durable, light-weight and strong, the Flo 1750 can handle knocks and scrapes from other
equipment and is easily cleaned using hospital grade disinfectants. The clean, sleek profile is
designed to go anywhere and enhance the hospital’s professional image.
Technology you can rely on
Recognizing that integrating technology into a healthcare environment can be daunting,
Flo Healthcare based the Flo 1750 on proven technology that works the first time and is flexible
enough to change and upgrade as needed. Our mobile workstations are built using components of
your choice from leading technology providers such as Dell, HP, IBM and Wyse. The Flo 1750 offers
a variety of battery solutions (size, chemistry and monitoring), decreasing downtime and providing
greater reliability than other providers. And Flo workstations are UL-60601-01 (formerly UL-2601-
01) certified, ensuring compliance with biomedical standards.
The Flo 1750 works with all standard wireless networks. Where a network has yet to be installed,
the Flo 2.4 Wireless Network is an ideal choice for enterprise-class wireless network performance,
guaranteed. Flo 2.4 supports more wireless configurations, and provides the widest coverage area
for wireless networking.
The adjustable keyboard
and large work surface
allow the Flo 1750 to
be used for many
different activities, in
either a standing or
sitting position.
The Flo 1750 features
many storage options
- including drawers, wire
baskets and bins - which
can be quickly and easily
interchanged.
The conveniently located
footrest is comfortable
when charting and
entering patient data - just
one of many well-designed
ergonomic features.
Beyond a commitment to service
The Flo Healthcare customer service promise begins when a hospital starts evaluation
of the Flo 1750. Our service team not only helps determine the facility’s operational
needs, but also offers a variety of post-installation service and maintenance options.
Flo Healthcare provides access to technical professionals trained to work with both
clinicians and IT staff to solve problems and reduce downtime. And of course, the
Flo 1750 comes with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
Innovation that sets the standard
Flo Healthcare’s combination of healthcare expertise and innovative design has set
the standard for mobile clinical workstations, making the Flo 1750 the workstation
everyone wants to copy. In fact, Flo Healthcare holds patents on virtually all aspects of
the Flo 1750 – from the adjustable monitor to the large work surface.
