**Made for the Hospital Environment**

We know infection control is critical, so the scanner’s housing is made to stand up to repeated cleanings with the common, harsh disinfectants used in hospitals. Its clean, white, medical-grade plastic fits right into any clinical environment.

**Freedom to Work Anywhere**

Without a cord holding them back, your clinicians can move freely around the bedside, in treatment rooms, or with a mobile cart. The battery is a workhorse, easily lasting a full shift on a single charge, so there’s no need to stop and recharge. The included cradle also allows you to switch between hands-free and handheld scanning on the fly.

**Scan Anything, First Time, Every Time**

This scanner can capture virtually any 1D or 2D barcode you encounter—from patient wristbands and IV bags to medication vials and specimen tubes. It’s incredibly reliable, even on barcodes that are smudged, damaged, or poorly printed. Plus, it easily reads codes directly from screens, making it perfect for today’s digital workflows with EMRs, smartphones, and tablets.

**Easy for Your Staff to Use**

We designed this scanner to be incredibly intuitive. It’s a simple point-and-shoot device, so there’s no need to waste time lining up the barcode perfectly. Staff get clear confirmation on every scan with a beep, a light, and a vibration mode that’s great for quiet patient areas. It's also lightweight and comfortable to hold, which makes a real difference during a long shift.

**Simple for IT to Set Up and Manage**

Getting started is a breeze. The scanner comes pre-configured for most common healthcare applications, so you can get it running with minimal setup. It connects easily to your existing EHR, EMR, and pharmacy systems. With Zebra's management tools, your IT team can also handle configuration and updates for all your scanners remotely.

Ultimately, the DS2278-HC is a tool that supports better patient care. It helps prevent errors by ensuring accurate bedside scans, enhances your infection control protocols, and lets your staff work faster and more effectively. It’s a practical, reliable choice for any hospital, clinic, lab, or pharmacy that needs a tough, cordless scanner that fits right into their workflow.
