Bar code scanning at patient bedside is crucial in preventing medication and specimen mixups—two of the potentially deadliest errors in a hospital. But scanning bar codes in a hospital can be a challenge. There are many types of bar codes including traditional paper-based, those displayed on an electronic screen, codes printed on curved surfaces, high density codes printed on very small items and bar codes in all types of conditions—from smudged to scratched and poorly printed. Now, you can give your healthcare workers the ability to scan them all with the DS4308-HC. This feature-rich next-generation 2D imager resets the bar for scanning performance, scanning range, versatility and ease-of-use. The result? The priceless peace of mind that the right patient received the right medication and the right test results, every time. The DS4308-HC—the ideal companion for laptops on workstation-on-wheels (WOWs) and other types of carts in your hospital.
