Boosting its healthcare portfolio with two new mobile handheld solutions to improve clinical mobility workflows and patient care, US-based Zebra Technologies Corporation, the manufacturer and seller of marking, tracking and computer printing technologies, will soon launch its DS8100-HC series scanners and TC51-HC mobile computer for healthcare professionals in India.

The DS8100-HC series scanners and the TC51-HC mobile computer come with the capability to easily capture problematic barcodes found in pharmacies, labs and at the point of care to help improve workflows, productivity and efficiency of healthcare professionals. The devices also ensure better patient safety.

The DS8100-HC series imager are available in both corded as well as cordless versions. The device features a purpose-built housing using special plastics that prevent the spread of bacteria and allow for safe wipe-downs with a wide selection of strong disinfectants used in hospitals.

The TC51-HC mobile computer is Android-enabled and can perform multiple tasks like calling/texting, receiving calls via PBX, accessing patient records, scanning barcodes and increasing medication administration accuracy.

Zebra has also joined hands with GE Healthcare to bring Bluetooth Low Energy wireless asset tracking technology to hospitals. GE Healthcare’s Encompass is a cost-effective real-time location systems solution that helps hospitals manage mobile asset inventory, reduce overall cost of ownership and achieve better capital allocation.
