Turn your iPad into a medical device

FDA listed and UL certified, with an optional nurse call button.

Sealed to IP65, and tough enough for hospital disinfectants and a tumble off the bed.

A bedside iPad helps only when it's accessible, charged and working

Hospitals load bedside tablets with MyChart Bedside, virtual nursing and entertainment. PillowCase keeps them at the bed and ready to go, so staff stop hunting for missing or dead iPads.

A patient sitting up in a hospital bed holds a PillowCase in both hands, its cable running down to the bed.

Tethered

A keyed magnetic cable gives patients 10 ft of reach. Add the cable lock and it stays in the room.

Charged

It charges through that same cable. No chargers to swap, lose or replace.

Sealed and secure

Optional security screws keep the iPad safe from eager patients. The case is sealed to IP65, so spills and hospital disinfectants are no problem.

One case, three ways to connect it

Every version uses the same case. What you plug it into on the wall decides what it can do.

With ComCierge, patients control the TV and the room and send requests straight to nurse call, right from the tablet. It also works embedded within Epic MyChart Bedside.

Hold it, prop it or mount it

Most of the time it’s in the patient’s hands. When they put it down, it stands on the table or clips to the rail.

Light enough to hold in bed, at 2.1 lb with the iPad inside.

Cable lock

A keyed lock on the wall holds the cable, so the case stays in the room.

Runs the apps your hospital already uses

PillowCase doesn’t touch the iPad’s software. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the cameras, speakers, microphones and screen all work as usual.

Virtual nursing

The cameras and microphones stay uncovered, so virtual nursing visits and family calls just work.

Install in four steps

  1. Assemble. Connect the iPad to the charging cable, lay it flat in the case, seal the front cover and fit the screws. Check the power and volume buttons.
  2. Wall side. Plug the power supply into the outlet, or mount the HighLightX hub on the headwall and connect it to the outlet and the patient station. P-clamp the wall end of the cable.
  3. Lock (optional). Fit the cable lock on the case side, about a foot from the magnet, so the magnet can still break away.
  4. Check. Confirm the iPad is charging before you leave the room.

FAQ

Which iPads does PillowCase fit?

iPad 7th to 11th generation.

Can patients still use the cameras?

Yes. The front and rear cameras, the microphones and the speakers all stay open.

Which apps does it work with?

Any iPad app. PillowCase doesn’t change the iPad’s software. For a digital pillow speaker, HatchMed’s ComCierge runs on PillowCase.

Is PillowCase UL listed and FDA registered?

PillowCase is an FDA registered medical device, Class 2 exempt. Its power supply is UL/cUL 62368-1 listed, and the call button versions are UL/cUL 1069 listed for nurse call.

How do we clean it?

Wipe the case and cable with a standard hospital disinfectant, let it dry, then wipe with a cloth dampened in clean water. Keep solution off the magnetic connector and brush it clean instead. The cleaning guide lists approved products.

What happens when a new iPad comes out?

The cable and circuitry stay the same across iPad generations. With the Product Upgrade Plan, HatchMed swaps the frame for the new iPad.

Does it need a wired network?

No. PillowCase uses the iPad’s Wi-Fi. If you need wired Ethernet, PadLock is our mounted iPad enclosure.

Which nurse call systems does it work with?

The call button versions work with Rauland, Hillrom, Westcom, Jeron, Critical Alert, Ascom, Austco and others, through a HighLightX hub on the headwall.
