Description
The Zebra DS4608-HC brings fast 1D and 2D scanning to the bedside, pharmacy, laboratory and admissions desk. It captures barcodes on patient wristbands, medication packaging, specimen tubes and phone screens in a single pass, helping clinicians record the right information for the right patient.
Its healthcare-white housing is built to be wiped down with approved hospital disinfectants many times a day.
Designed for patient care areas
A circular true-green LED aimer is easy to see and is an alternative to laser aimers, which are not advised in areas such as the NICU. Haptic vibration and an adjustable beeper let staff confirm scans without disturbing sleeping patients.
Reliable scanning on difficult codes
A 1280 x 800 sensor and Zebra’s imaging technology read small, curved, damaged and low-contrast codes, including those on IV bags, vials and wristbands. Images and documents can also be captured and exported as JPEG, BMP or TIFF.
Tough and easy to manage
The DS4608-HC survives repeated 1.8 m drops and 2,000 tumbles and is IP52 sealed against spills. It connects by USB, RS232 or IBM 46XX and is configured and updated remotely with Zebra’s 123Scan and Scanner Management Service.
