Scan it all with virtually no exceptions
In hospitals, there is no room for error—that’s why the DS4608-HC is packed with features that ensure instant and accurate first-time,
every-time decoding of virtually any barcode found at the point-of-care, pharmacy and lab. Workers can choose between haptic/vibration,
a good decode LED that’s easy to see from any position, a traditional beep tone with adjustable volume and frequency, and Zebra’s Direct
Decode Indicator that projects the illumination on the barcode. In night mode, a quick press of the trigger toggles between an audible
beep and vibration. Healthcare workers instantly know that a medicine vial, wristband or specimen sample was properly scanned—while
disturbing patients as little as possible.
Safe LED aimer is easy on the eyes
Thanks to a highly visible and safe LED-based aimer, the DS4608-HC can be used throughout the hospital—including the NICU where
the use of laser aimers is not advised.
On-the-fly switching between handheld and hands-free scanning
In the lab and pharmacy, some tasks may be better suited for handheld scanning and others for hands-free. With the DS4608-HC,
switching modes is fast and easy. Simply place the scanner in the optional presentation stand to automatically switch to
hands-free mode; then pick up the scanner for handheld mode. The result? Peak efficiency—your staff is free to use whichever
mode is optimal for the task at hand.
Single out one barcode from many
Zebra’s Preferred Symbol simplifies and error-proofs data capture on blood bags and other items containing multiple barcodes.
This innovative feature captures and outputs only the preferred barcode, so your busy healthcare staff no longer has to waste
time physically covering nearby barcodes before scanning.
Capture multiple barcodes with one press of the scan trigger
With Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF), the DS4608-HC can scan multiple barcodes with a single trigger pull and transmit only
the barcodes you need, in the order your application expects.
Easy to sanitize—with the durability you need for daily use
Designed for use at the point-of-care, the DS4608-HC features a disinfectant-ready housing that can handle regular sanitizing
with popular disinfectants. Screw holes and speaker holes are covered to mitigate the build up of bacteria. IP52 sealing protects
against spills, while a patented double-sealed optical system protects the critical optical components from dust and liquid—ensuring
that the ‘eye’ of the scanner always captures the sharpest possible barcode image for fast and reliable decoding. The recessed
scan window protects against smudges, dirt and scratches, which can impact performance. And the scanner is built to survive multiple
6 ft./1.8 m drops to concrete and 2,000 tumbles in our punishing tumble test.
Flexible feedback modes—including night mode with vibrate
The DS4608-HC provides a feedback mode for every environment and situation.
