Better workflows for healthcare professionals. Better experience for patients.

As a healthcare provider, you need to deliver the very best in care, every second of every day. That means giving your healthcare professionals the tools they need to improve patient outcomes, increase productivity and streamline everyday processes. With the purpose-built DS8100 Series for Healthcare, you can. With the ability to instantly capture the most difficult to read barcodes, an industry-first housing that offers maximum protection against the spread of bacteria, Night Mode with Vibrate for can’t miss feedback on decodes and a built-in lamp, the DS8100-HC Series can seamlessly integrate into existing healthcare workflows to boost process efficiencies and ensure that patients are left undisturbed until necessary. Combined with swappable power sources — a PowerPrecision+ battery or PowerCapTM capacitor1 — and unrivaled manageability tools to keep your scanners up, running and in the hands of your staff, the DS8100-HC Series is the ideal solution to enhance patient safety and the efficiency of point-of-care operations.

Unparalleled performance on virtually every barcode in any condition

Only the DS8100 Series combines the power of an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology. With this unique combination of hardware and advanced algorithms, the DS8100 Series instantly captures the most problematic barcodes found in pharmacies, labs and at the point-of-care — including dense, tiny, curved, poorly printed, shiny, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty or damaged, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays.

First-of-its-kind housing offers maximum protection against the spread of infection

Only the DS8100 Series offers a purpose-built housing specially designed to help prevent the spread of bacteria. Special plastics allow for safe wipe-downs with the widest selection of the harshest and most aggressive disinfectants used in today’s hospitals. And concealed screw holes and seams eliminate areas where bacteria could hide — even after a wipedown.

Flexible feedback modes including Night Mode with Vibrate

Choose from a wide array of easily controllable feedback modes designed for virtually any hospital environment — from the Intensive Care Unit to a quiet night shift or a busy day shift. Staff can choose between haptic/vibration, a good decode LED, a traditional beep tone with adjustable volume and frequency, and Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator that projects the illumination on the barcode to confirm that it has been captured. In Night Mode, a quick press of the trigger toggles between an audible beep and vibration. Clinicians can be confident that a medicine, specimen or IV bag was properly scanned — without disturbing patients or interrupting the workflow to look at the scanner.

Green LED aimer is easy on the eyes

Thanks to a highly visible and safe LED aimer, the DS8100 Series can be used in the NICU where the use of laser aimers is not advised. And the green aimer reduces the likelihood of triggering PTSD episodes.

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 offers 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 sufficiently 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.

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.
