Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Zebra DS8178-HC ideal for clinical and healthcare environments? +
This scanner features a purpose-built housing constructed from specialized, disinfectant-ready plastics. It is specifically engineered to withstand constant cleaning with harsh medical-grade chemicals, preventing the degradation of the unit over time while helping facilities maintain strict infection control protocols in patient-facing areas.
How does the DS8178-HC handle scanning barcodes on curved medication vials? +
Equipped with Zebra’s proprietary PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology, this scanner excels at capturing high-density, curved, or poorly printed barcodes. It provides an expansive field of view, allowing clinicians to scan small medication labels and barcodes on vials or syringes effortlessly without needing to precisely align the scanner.
Does the Zebra DS8178-HC support direct connection to EHR systems? +
Yes, this model integrates seamlessly with electronic health record systems through standard interface configurations. It acts as an HID or serial device, ensuring that data captured from patient wristbands or medication packaging is transmitted directly into the relevant fields of your healthcare software without requiring complex middleware.
What is the wireless range of the DS8178-HC handheld scanner? +
The device utilizes Bluetooth technology to provide a flexible operating range of up to 33 feet (10 meters) from its base station. This mobility allows healthcare professionals to scan patient barcodes or medication labels at the bedside without being tethered to a workstation or a mobile computer cart.
Can the DS8178-HC be configured to operate in silent mode for patient privacy? +
Absolutely. This scanner offers customizable feedback modes, including a 'Night Mode' that allows users to toggle between a vibration alert, a visual LED light, and an audible beep. This is critical for hospital floors where minimizing noise disturbances for resting patients is a priority.
How long does the battery last on the DS8178-HC during a typical shift? +
The PowerPrecision+ battery is designed to provide industry-leading performance, often supporting over 80,000 scans on a single charge. This capacity is sufficient to cover multiple high-volume clinical shifts, ensuring that the scanner remains functional throughout the day without the need for midday recharging.
Does the DS8178-HC include a base station for charging and data transmission? +
The specific SKU provided generally includes the necessary components for standard operation. The cradle serves a dual purpose: it acts as a Bluetooth communication bridge between the scanner and the host system, and it provides a secure docking point to keep the internal battery fully charged between usage intervals.
Is the DS8178-HC capable of scanning both 1D and 2D barcodes? +
This scanner is a versatile imager that supports virtually all standard symbologies. It can process 1D linear codes as well as complex 2D codes like DataMatrix and QR codes frequently found on unit-dose pharmaceutical packaging, ensuring total compatibility with modern hospital barcode tracking requirements.
