Description
The Zebra DS2278-HC USB Kit includes the DS2278-HC cordless healthcare barcode scanner, a shielded USB cable (CBA-U21-S07ZBR), and the CR2278-PC1000BRW presentation cradle, providing a complete cordless scanning solution purpose-built for healthcare environments across the UK.
Ideal for hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and laboratories, the DS2278-HC delivers instant 1D/2D barcode scanning powered by PRZM Intelligent Imaging, even on damaged, smudged, or curved barcodes. The disinfectant-ready housing and IP52-rated sealing make it safe for frequent sanitisation with medical-grade cleaners.
The scanner’s Direct Decode Indicator provides visual confirmation for quiet wards or ICUs, while the auto-sensing cradle allows seamless switching between handheld and hands-free scanning. Powered by a long-lasting 2400 mAh battery, the DS2278-HC supports 14-hour shifts without recharging and charges while docked in the cradle. It’s also equipped with Zebra’s Wi-Fi Friendly Mode to avoid interfering with your hospital’s wireless network.
Backed by Zebra's DataCapture DNA suite for remote management, diagnostics, and easy configuration, the DS2278-HC kit ensures faster deployment, lower TCO, and enhanced productivity in NHS and private care workflows.
