Zebra Technologies announced two new purpose-built mobile handheld devices that will improve clinical mobility workflows and patient care. The DS8100-HC series scanners and the durable TC51-HC mobile computer can foster clinical collaboration for staffers and drive better operational efficiencies, while also supporting the five rights of medication administration to help increase patient safety.
 
The DS8100-HC imager series features a purpose-built housing using special plastics to help prevent the spread of bacteria and allow for safe wipe-downs with a wide selection of disinfectants used in hospitals.
 
The DS8100-HC series features user-selectable feedback modes to instantly notify healthcare workers that a barcode was properly captured without disturbing patients.
 
Both the DS8100-HC series and the TC51-HC mobile computer can capture virtually any barcode in any condition and scan the most problematic barcodes found in pharmacies, labs, and at the point of care to help improve productivity and efficiency.
 
“The launch of the DS8100-HC series scanner and the TC51-HC mobile computer demonstrates our continued investment in clinical mobility helping caregivers deliver the right care to the right patient at the right time,” said Randy Briley, VP, North America healthcare sales, Zebra Technologies.
