DS8208 healthcare advanced barcode scanner

In today’s fast-paced clinical environments, supporting patient safety and workflow efficiency requires a new kind of scanner. The DS82 Series for Healthcare redefines data capture with smarter technology and a design built for modern clinical workflows. With a disinfectant-ready housing, a sealed inductive trigger, and antimicrobial labels, the DS82-HC Series is designed to be easier to clean and disinfect—helping reduce the risk of bacterial spread. A multi-function button simplifies multi-app workflows, while a high-performance 2 MP sensor instantly reads challenging barcodes on wristbands, medications, blood bags, and specimens—helping clinicians maintain precision and confidence throughout the care journey. Contactless charging and best-in-class swappable power options ensure uninterrupted performance through the longest shifts. The DS82-HC Series isn’t just an upgrade—it sets a new standard for safer, more streamlined healthcare workflows.

Elevate Clinical Performance

Industry-leading infection control

The DS82-HC Series raises the bar to help prevent the spread of bacteria with a sealed, healthcare-ready design. Disinfectant-safe plastics and smooth, crevice-free surfaces withstand aggressive cleaning. The sealed inductive trigger removes one of the most common points of microbial buildup, while contactless charging eliminates exposed metal contacts—making the device easier to disinfect. Combined with antimicrobial labels, every detail of the DS82-HC Series supports stronger infection control.

Unmatched scanning performance for confident clinical care

Clinicians need scanners that work as reliably and relentlessly as they do, because scanning failures can lead to workarounds that compromise patient safety and productivity. The DS82-HC Series delivers uncompromising, industry-leading performance with an advanced 2 MP sensor, PRZM Intelligent Imaging, and a high-density focus designed to capture the most challenging barcodes across the hospital. From medication labels and translucent IV bags to blood bags, specimen trays, and wristbands on even the smallest patients, the DS82-HC Series reads them all quickly and consistently. That means fewer interruptions—and more time focused on patient care.

Multi-function button: streamline multi-app clinical workflows

A programmable multi-function button acts as a secondary trigger, allowing clinicians to switch between applications with a single press. They can scan into the EHR, then switch to a phlebotomy or specimen-labeling app without changing devices or interrupting care. This flexibility simplifies the workstation and clinician workflows—fewer devices, fewer errors.

Adapt to Every Workflow

More ways to disturb patients less

The DS82-HC Series is engineered to support quiet, patient-friendly care. Intelligent illumination activates only when a scan is needed—reducing excess lighting and helping maintain a calm environment.
