CHERRY eHealth PIN-Pad PP-1516
The CHERRY eHealth PIN-Pad PP-1516 is a modern and easily disinfectable solution for healthcare workplaces and an optional extension for the well-known eHealth terminal ST-1506. Special applications of the telematics infrastructure (e.g. for creating or reading the electronic medication plan eMP, the emergency management NFDM or the electronic patient file ePA) require the patient to enter their PIN. CHERRY offers the optimal solution for this with the eHealth PIN Pad PP-1516: The easily disinfectable PIN-Pad is placed on the patient's side in medical facilities and thus enables the PIN to be entered conveniently and hygienically. The clear separation of devices from patients and medical professionals ensures an efficient workflow. Prepared with an NFC interface, medical facilities such as doctor's offices, hospitals and pharmacies are equipped for the future. Technically, the eHealth PIN-Pad from CHERRY impresses with a high-resolution color display for optimal readability and a 5-megapixel camera for reading data matrix codes, for example for the e-prescription.

Easily disinfectable PIN-Pad for greater comfort and hygiene for patients and medical professionals
The CHERRY eHealth PIN pad PP-1516 is a modern and easily disinfectable solution for workplaces in the healthcare sector and is approved by gematik. Telematics infrastructure applications (e.g. eMP, NFDM, ePA) require the patient to enter a PIN. With the PP-1516 PIN pad, CHERRY offers the ideal terminal device for convenience and hygiene on the patient side.

eHBA Signature in Home Office – The Cost-Effective Remote Solution for Healthcare Providers
Also outside the practice, the PIN pad PP-1516 offers a secure and practical solution: In combination with a VPN connection and the electronic healthcare professional card (eHBA), it enables healthcare providers to enter their PIN in a legally compliant manner from the home office or on the go. The qualified electronic signature, for example for e-doctor’s letters or e-prescriptions, is reliably triggered via the stationary card terminal in the practice.
A proven practical extension for modern, mobile working models in healthcare.

Why is a PIN pad needed?
Remote use – for healthcare professionals with an eHBA
- Cost-effective signature solution without a full card terminal
- Ideal for qualified electronic signatures (e.g. eDischarge letters, ePrescriptions) when working from home or on the go
- Secure: PIN entry is done locally on the PIN pad, the signature is triggered in the practice
- GDPR-compliant thanks to VPN connection and certified infrastructure
- Compact, flexible solution for location-independent use of the eHBA
In the practice – for patients
- Clear separation between patients and medical staff
- Improved hygiene through easier cleaning (no open card slots)
- Protection of the card terminal from damage during PIN entry
- Prevention of loss or damage to security cards
- Improved usability (e.g. for wheelchair users) through flexible mounting options

Ideal extension for the CHERRY card terminal
The PP-1516 PIN pad complements the existing ST-1506 card terminal from CHERRY, which can already be used to optimally implement telematics infrastructure (TI) applications, some of which are mandatory, such as insured person master data management (VSDM) or secure communication in the medical sector (KIM). The easily disinfectable PIN pad is placed on the patient's side in medical facilities, making it easy and convenient to enter the PIN. In conjunction with the card terminal, the PP-1516 PIN pad ensures a clear separation between patients and healthcare professionals to make the workflow even more efficient and optimize hygiene.
Secure supply chain required. Available from the following sources:
When is it necessary to enter a PIN?
Use | eGK PIN required by patient | eHBA PIN required by LE | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Read emergency data records (NFDM) (if activated) | ✗ | |||
Write emergency data records (NFDM) | ✗ | |||
Read electronic medication plan (eMP) | ✗ | |||
Write electronic medication plan (eMP) | ✗ | |||
Read electronic patient file (ePA) | ✗ | |||
Write electronic patient file (ePA) | ✗ |
Future-proof preparation for e-prescriptions and other applications

- Thanks to the integration of contactless/NFC interfaces, the PP-1516 PIN pad is also prepared for extended telematics infrastructure applications on the hardware side. The NFC antennas are located on the back with card holder for longer read/write processes (e.g. eMP) and on the display surface for shorter read processes.
- The PIN pad is equipped with a 5 MP camera (for scanning data matrix and QR codes) for the fast and practical recording of e.g. e-prescriptions in order to increasingly optimize processes in pharmacies, surgeries and clinics. The use of these functions on the software side requires approval by gematik.
The PIN pad in a modern design has a color display with a touch surface for good readability of the displayed content. The PIN pad can be used both horizontally and vertically via a wall bracket. The PIN pad can only be used with the eHealth Terminal ST-1506 and can be integrated flexibly via USB either directly on the device or indirectly via LAN on the PC/laptop.
