Patient information management: Hospitals use the 2844-Z to manage a variety of patient data
labeling & tracking requirements. When a patient is admitted to hospital, a 3”x1” barcode label is
printed on the 2844-Z and applied to a wristband. The patient can be tracked effectively during
his stay; the wristband is scanned when treatments, procedures and medications are
administered. Barcoded wristbands are important in maternity units, to match mothers and
newborns. 2844-Z printers are also used at nurses’ stations, clinics and laboratories to fulfill
barcode labeling needs such as for vial tubes, travelers & specimens.
The 2844-Z brings a number of critical benefits to the healthcare industry, notably the ability to be
networked (via the internal ZebraNet PrintServer II) and remote administered using ZebraLink.
Additionally, the compact size and footprint is vital as space is limited in hospital & lab
environments. Desktop printers offer the cost effective ‘multiple printers, multiple locations’
advantage, meaning that they can be placed in many different areas of a hospital, exactly at the
point of use.

central location – not necessarily onsite.

admissions desks.
9 Desktop printer offers value for money and the right print volume to printer size ratio – a
mid-range would be too big and a waste of space. Can be
placed in many locations throughout the hospital.

required of medical personnel
