SKU: 

DS8208-HC4000BVZWW

The Zebra DS8208-HC4000BVZWW is a corded, healthcare-configured area imager with white LED illumination and vibration feedback, built on a 2 MP, 1600 x 1200 image sensor that reads 1D and 2D barcodes, OCR formats including OCR-A, OCR-B, and MICR, GS1 Digital Link, and Digimarc barcodes across a scanning distance of 41 in. PRZM Intelligent Imaging supports a motion tolerance of 160 in/s, a 48-degree horizontal and 36-degree vertical field of view, and 360-degree roll tolerance, with Code 39 element resolution down to 3 mil and a minimum print contrast of 16%. The white housing weighs 6.23 oz and carries an IP52 ingress rating, withstanding 54 drops at 6.0 ft. (1.8 m) to concrete and MIL-spec drops from 10 ft. (3 m). A 3500 mAh lithium-ion battery supports up to 120 hours of run time, and the scanner operates across 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) to 122 degrees F (50 degrees C) in up to 107600 lux ambient light, suiting healthcare, transportation, logistics, and light manufacturing deployments.

The Zebra 8208 PluScan (DS8208-HC series) is a corded handheld area imager engineered for clinical and healthcare environments where reliable barcode capture and infection-control readiness are essential. Designed to read 1D and 2D barcodes on patient wristbands, medication packaging, blood bags and laboratory samples, it combines a 2‑megapixel sensor with PRZM Intelligent Imaging to improve read rates on challenging media. The healthcare-white, disinfectant-ready housing and sealed inductive trigger support frequent cleaning, while white illumination, an LED aimer and vibration feedback deliver a quiet, patient‑friendly scanning experience. Available as a scanner-only or corded USB kit, it integrates into clinical workflows for accurate, repeatable data capture.

Key Features

  • Healthcare-ready construction: Disinfectant-ready materials and smooth surfaces enable routine cleaning and reduce infection-control risks.
  • Reliable barcode capture: 2 MP sensor combined with PRZM Intelligent Imaging increases read performance on worn, curved or low-contrast barcodes.
  • Patient-friendly feedback: White illumination, LED aimer and vibration feedback provide discreet, non-disruptive confirmation at bedside.
  • Durable sealed trigger: Sealed inductive trigger is designed for frequent use and easy sanitation in clinical settings.
  • Consistent wired connectivity: Corded and corded USB options ensure stable power and data transfer for integrated clinical systems.

FAQs
ico-plus ico-minus
What types of barcodes can the Zebra DS8208-HC read, and what imaging technology does it use?
The DS8208-HC is an area imager that reads both 1D and 2D barcodes using a 2-megapixel sensor combined with PRZM Intelligent Imaging, which improves read performance on worn, curved, or low-contrast barcodes such as those found on patient wristbands and medication packaging.
Is the Zebra DS8208-HC safe to clean with hospital-grade disinfectants?
Yes, the scanner is built with disinfectant-ready materials and smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces specifically to support routine cleaning and infection-control protocols in clinical environments.
What connectivity options are available for the Zebra DS8208-HC, and what does each configuration include?
The DS8208-HC is available as a scanner-only unit or as a corded USB kit that includes the scanner and a shielded USB cable; both configurations provide wired connectivity for stable power and data transfer.
How does the Zebra DS8208-HC minimize disruption to patients during scanning?
It uses white illumination, an LED aimer, and vibration feedback instead of audible beeps, providing discreet, non-disruptive scan confirmation suited for bedside use.
What is the ingress protection rating of the Zebra DS8208-HC, and how is the trigger designed for clinical use?
The DS8208-HC carries an IP54 rating and features a sealed inductive trigger that is designed for frequent use and easy sanitation in healthcare settings.
Does the Zebra DS8208-HC require a separate power supply, and if so, which one?
When not powered through the USB connection, the DS8208-HC requires the PWR-WUA5V12W0US Zebra Power Supply, which is not included in the described kit configurations and would need to be sourced separately.
