Adaptable to clinician workflows
Swappable power options reduce your investment risk
Two interchangeable power options are available to power your
devices: a PowerPrecision+ battery or a PowerCap capacitor. You
can swap power options at any time on all models, right in your
facility — no need to purchase separate battery-free and battery
powered devices. And since the PowerPrecision+ battery and
PowerCap capacitor can report their model and serial numbers,
you’ll always know which power source is in each scanner.
On a single charge, the advanced PowerPrecision+ battery provides
over three around-the-clock days of continuous scanning, plus a
wealth of metrics for better battery management.
The PowerCap capacitor is ideal when the scanner can always be
inserted into a charging cradle when not in use. The largest capacitor
in its category, the superior PowerCap oers 2,000 scans on a full
charge and 100 scans after as little as 35 seconds in the cradle —
both metrics are four times greater than competitive scanners.
Exclusive Power Charge Gauge
No more guess work on the status of a battery at the start of a shift.
Nurses can see at-a-glance if the PowerPrecision+ battery or the
PowerCap capacitor are suciently charged at the start of a shift.
And both the battery and PowerCap can be changed without tools.
Easily unlock the benefits of UDI
Zebra’s UDI Scan+ makes it easy to capture and enter Unique Device
Identification (UDI) information into your application. Simply scan the
barcode on the medical device packaging. The UDI barcode data is
automatically parsed, properly formatted and sent in the right order
to the right fields in your EHR or other application. No manual data
entry is required.
Connect+ Contact Technology designed to last
The position of the charging contacts in the DS8178-HC charging
cradles combined with Zebra’s exclusive Connect+ Contact
Technology assures reliable, corrosion-free charging over the life
of the scanner.
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 DS8178-HC’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.
Locate a misplaced scanner in seconds
The cradle’s paging button can easily locate a misplaced scanner
so nurses don’t need to waste critical time searching for a scanner
in the bedding.
Unrivaled manageability
Visionary visibility into scanning and battery
performance metrics — only from Zebra
Only from Zebra, ScanSpeed Analytics tracks metrics that include
symbology and decode speed to spot and correct barcode issues
before they impact worker productivity and the quality of care.
And PowerPrecision+ batteries provide detailed battery health
information, including charge cycles consumed, a State-of-Health
meter and remaining percentage of full charge capacity, you can
easily spot and replace aging batteries before they can no longer
last a full shift and interrupt critical operations at the point of care.
Easily manage your scanners with powerful complimentary tools
With 123Scan, you can easily create configuration barcodes to
program scanners. If your imagers are in multiple locations across
the country or around the world, with Scanner Management Service
(SMS), you can configure and update the firmware for any DS8100-HC
Series device that is plugged into the host — no depot staging or user
action is required — such as the scanning of a configuration barcode.
Simplify the entire scanning experience with DataCapture DNA
Hardware is just the start of what you need to maximize the value of
your scanners. The DS8100-HC Series is powered by DataCapture
DNA, a set of unique development, management, visibility and
productivity tools. Leveraging Zebra’s 50 years of innovation,
DataCapture DNA turns Zebra scanners into powerful tools that
lower your TCO and help workers get more done each day.
