The Ultimate Cost-effective Mobile Computer Built for Healthcare
Until today, providing non-clinical workers with a mobile device designed for healthcare has been cost-prohibitive, resulting in communication gaps that impact the quality of care and the patient experience. Introducing the WiFi TC21-HC and the WiFI/cellular TC26-HC mobile computers designed to connect your ancillary workers — from environmental services to facilities and materials management, patient transport, hospital food service and more. As part of Zebra’s ultimate series, these small easy-to-carry devices are big on features. The latest in advanced mobile technologies provides superior future proofing — and the power to run all the applications you use today and tomorrow. The durable design and removable batteries deliver the dependable around-the-clock operation that is crucial in healthcare. The housing is specially built for constant disinfecting to prevent the spread of germs. Zebra’s leading voice solutions turn these devices into a two-way radio and a mobile PBX handset. And Zebra-only Mobility DNA simplifies every aspect of the devices — from ease-of-use to integration, security and manageability.
A New Level of Features at a Cost-Effective Price Point
Connect all your healthcare workers, wherever they are The more staff members that are connected, the better patient safety and quality of patient care you can deliver. With WiFi and WiFi/cellular models, you can connect workers no matter where they are — inside your facility, in-between buildings on expansive campus-style facilities, out in the field or at home.
Best-in-Class Disinfectant-Ready Design
Chemical resistant healthcare plastics withstand regular cleaning with over 30 disinfectants. The housing is designed to minimize crevices where bacteria can hide. And a pre-installed plug prevents bacteria from hiding in the USB-C port.
Plenty of Display Space for All Your Applications
The large 5 inch advanced HD touchscreen is easy to see indoors and in bright sunlight. And capacitive multi-touch technology delivers instant familiarity — and even works with gloves.
Around-the-Clock Durability
Virtually waterproof, drops, snow, rain, heat, freezing cold — the TC21-HC/TC26-HC can handle it all. And one of the most crucial yet vulnerable features is fortified with scratch-and-shatter- resistant Gorilla Glass — the display.
