DS8178 Healthcare1D/2D Handheld Barcode Scanner
As a healthcare provider, you need to deliver the very best in care, every second of every day. That means giving your healthcare professionals the tools they need to improve patient outcomes, increase productivity and streamline everyday processes. With the purpose-built DS8100-HC, you can. With the ability to instantly capture the most difficult to read barcodes, an industry-first housing that offers maximum protection against the spread of bacteria, Night Mode with Vibrate for can't miss feedback on decodes and a built-in lamp, the DS8100-HC can seamlessly integrate into existing healthcare workflows to boost process efficiencies and ensure that patients are left undisturbed until necessary. Combined with Zebra's complimentary manageability tools to simplify the setup, deployment, performance monitoring and ongoing management of your scanners, the DS8100-HC is the ideal solution to enhance patient safety, the productivity of staff members and the efficiency of point-of-care operations.
Unparalleled performance on virtually every barcode in any condition
Only the DS8100-HC Series combines the power of an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra's exclusive PRZM technology. With this unique combination of hardware and advanced algorithms, the DS8100-HC Series instantly captures the most problematic barcodes found in pharmacies, labs and at the point-of-care - including dense, tiny, curved, poorly printed, shiny, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays.
First of its kind housing offers maximum Protection against the spread of infection
Only the DS8100-HC offers a purpose-built housing specially designed to help prevent the spread of bacteria. Special plastics allow for Safe wipe-downs with the widest selection of the harshest and most aggressive disinfectants used in today's hospitals. And concealed screw holes and seams eliminate areas where bacteria could hide, even after a wipedown.
Patient safety
The DS8100's green aiming spot avoids blue wavelengths, which can potentially cause eye injury.
Continuous 24 hour scanning
With Zebra's exclusive PowerPrecision+ smart battery in the cordless DS8178-HC, your nurses and workers will always have the power they need for the busiest shift. Devices are always available - no need for charging mid-shift.
Choice of compact USB powered cradles
The minimal footprint of the presentation cradle easily fits on the most crowded workstation-on-wheels (WOWs), allowing nurses to easily switch between
hands-free and handheld modes as needed. The desk/wall cradle can be mounted on a wall, mechanical arm or mobile workstation, and is a perfect solution for facilities that put a computer in every room.
Doubles as a workstation lamp
The scanner's built-in lamp can illuminate a nurse's workspace, so there's no need to disturb sleeping patients by turning on the room lights.
Eliminate bluetooth interference with Zebra's proprietary Wi-Fi friendly mode
Ensure that your DS8178-HC Bluetooth scanners only operate on channels that are not shared with your wireless LAN (WLAN), protecting WLAN service levels for your caregivers, workers, patients and visitors.
Apple certified for iPads and iPhones
Are your healthcare workers using iPads or iPhones? No problem. The Bluetooth DS8178-HC is Apple certified - enabling you to bring Zebra's advanced scanning technology to these mobile devices.
