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.

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.
