Description

Zebra DS4608-HCBU2100AZW Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Zebra DS4608-HCBU2100AZW is a corded healthcare scanner kit designed for critical data capture points throughout a hospital. It addresses the need for accurate, rapid barcode scanning at the patient bedside, in pharmacies, and laboratories, ensuring data integrity for patient care and specimen tracking. Its construction is specifically engineered to withstand frequent disinfection, making it suitable for high-traffic point-of-care environments where hygiene is paramount. The kit includes the DS4608-HC scanner and a shielded USB cable, simplifying deployment for immediate use.

Compatibility

This scanner kit is designed to integrate with hospital information systems (HIS) and electronic health records (EHR) via its USB connection. It is compatible with standard barcode symbologies used in healthcare, including 1D and 2D codes found on patient wristbands, medication packaging, IV bags, and laboratory specimens. The included CBA-U21-S07ZBR shielded USB cable ensures reliable data transfer to workstations, POS systems, and other host devices.

Installation Notes

The DS4608-HC scanner features a disinfectant-ready housing, allowing for regular sanitization with common hospital-grade disinfectants. Screw and speaker holes are covered to prevent bacterial buildup. The IP52 sealing provides protection against dust ingress and liquid spills, crucial for maintaining operational integrity in clinical settings. A patented double-sealed optical system further enhances durability against environmental factors.
