Honeywell 454-019-001 Software

The DS8178-HC is purpose-built for healthcare with a specially designed housing that helps prevent the spread of bacteria, featuring concealed screw holes and seams where bacteria could hide. It combines unparalleled performance in reading challenging barcodes with innovative features like Night Mode with Vibrate, a green LED aimer safe for NICU use, and a built-in lamp that illuminates workspace without disturbing patients. We offer this scanner because it seamlessly integrates into existing healthcare workflows to boost process efficiencies and ensure patient safety at the point of care.

Yes, the DS8178-HC excels at reading the most problematic barcodes found in healthcare settings, including dense, tiny, curved, poorly printed, shiny, crinkled, faded, distorted, dirty, damaged barcodes, and electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays. This capability comes from the combination of an 800 MHz microprocessor, high-resolution megapixel sensor, and Zebra's exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology. The scanner's advanced decode capabilities support over 40 barcode symbologies, making it versatile for pharmacy, lab, and point-of-care applications.

We offer two interchangeable power options: a PowerPrecision+ battery that provides over three days of continuous scanning on a single charge, or a PowerCap capacitor that delivers 2,000 scans per charge and 100 scans after just 35 seconds in the cradle. You can swap power options at any time without purchasing separate devices, and both power sources report their model and serial numbers for inventory tracking. The exclusive Power Charge Gauge lets nurses see at-a-glance if the battery or capacitor is sufficiently charged at the start of a shift.

The DS8178-HC includes Zebra's UDI Scan+ feature, which makes it easy to capture and enter Unique Device Identification (UDI) information directly into your EHR or other applications. When you scan a barcode on medical device packaging, the UDI data is automatically parsed, properly formatted, and sent to the correct fields—eliminating manual data entry errors and streamlining compliance workflows. This feature is particularly valuable in operating rooms and pharmacy environments where accurate device tracking is critical.

The DS8178-HC provides multiple easily controllable feedback modes designed for any hospital environment, including haptic/vibration, a decode LED, adjustable-volume beep tones, and Zebra's Direct Decode Indicator that projects illumination on the barcode to confirm capture. Night Mode allows staff to toggle between audible beep and vibration with a quick trigger press, ensuring clinicians can confirm successful scans without disturbing sleeping patients or interrupting workflow. This flexibility makes the scanner suitable for intensive care units, quiet night shifts, and busy day shift operations.

We include powerful complimentary tools with the DS8178-HC: 123Scan for creating configuration barcodes, Scanner Management Service (SMS) for remote firmware updates across multiple locations, and ScanSpeed Analytics that tracks decode speed and symbology metrics to identify barcode issues before they impact productivity. The scanner is powered by DataCapture DNA, Zebra's comprehensive platform of development, management, visibility, and productivity tools that leverage 50 years of innovation. PowerPrecision+ batteries also provide detailed health information including charge cycles, State-of-Health metrics, and remaining capacity to help you replace aging batteries before they fail during critical operations.
