Today’s analytical laboratories don’t have it easy, the productive potential of the lab is getting behind in today’s processes and practices. And let’s face it, general purpose barcode scanners are not optimized for use to face the daily challenges of increasing number of samples, tight deadlines, and delivering high quality data on time.

Within the healthcare sector, there is no room for error. Often times the barcode scanner needs to be able to scan curved 2D barcodes and use RFID to track critical items such as medications, blood bags, samples and tiny microscope slides. Every barcodes that can’t be scanned must be entered in the system manually and that can decrease productivity and accuracy in the lab.

Improve data reporting with Zebra’s DS9908-HD and DS9908R-HD barcode scanners. With the DS9908-HD Series you can get maximize uptime and accuracy to get better productivity and throughput. Technicians can quickly scan barcodes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Transform the device for both handheld and hands-free scanning to bring ease of use in daily data capturing activities. And the DS9908R-HD with RFID can scan RFID tags for faster and more accurate tracking of blood bags and other RFID tagged- specimens.

Boost productivity in the lab with these series of applications:

• Handheld or hands-free to handle a mix of items
• Capture tiny and curved barcodes
• Easily read color coded labels on specimen trays and biopsy cassettes
• Read/Write UHF RFID tags
• Read driver’s license data that can populate on patient forms

Features:

• Increase speed with superior 1D and 2D barcode scanning capablities
• Capable of reading high density barcodes with ease
• DS9908R-HD model capable to scan UHF RFID tags
• White illumination LED that can easily read barcodes on color coded specimen trays
• Doubles as a document scanner to capture high resolution image of prescriptions, forms, and documents
• Optional driver’s license parsing, to use for populating patient admission forms

Raise productivity in your lab with the Zebra DS9908 series barcode scanners. Get higher uptime from your barcode scanner to improve data capturing and accuracy. Contact Barcodes to find out how you can deliver high quality data with the Zebra DS9908 barcode scanners.

Traditional laser scanners read linear bar codes at the point-of-sale—a technology that greatly simplified checkout. But today’s highly developed area-imaging scanners enable greater capability and flexibility, putting far more productivity into the hands of retail employees and allowing for revenue-generating mobile marketing initiatives.

With these advantages, it’s no wonder VDC’s 2013 Report forecasts area-imaging scanners sales to grow at a rate of 13.4% for the next three years, compared to the expected 7.3% decline for laser-based scanners over the time period. Imaging technology is firmly established as a cost-effective, durable, technologically capable alternative to laser-based systems. Plus, imagers are capable of supporting retailer’s mobile marketing programs, capturing mobile coupons right off customers’ smartphone screens or automatically collecting their information from ID cards for loyalty program auto-enrollment.
