The Zebra Pro DS4308-HC is a corded handheld 2D barcode scanner purpose-built for clinical and healthcare workflows where accuracy, hygiene and speed are essential. Leveraging Zebra’s PRZM Intelligent Imaging and a megapixel sensor, it reliably captures 1D, 2D and PDF417 codes from printed labels, curved vials and mobile screens. Designed for frequent disinfecting, the scanner features disinfectable plastics, IP42 ingress protection and 1.83 m drop resistance to withstand busy hospitals, clinics, laboratories and pharmacies. With omnidirectional capture, soft LED illumination, multi-protocol interfaces and multi-mode feedback, the DS4308-HC reduces scanning errors and accelerates patient identification, medication verification and inventory tasks.

Key Features

  • PRZM Intelligent Imaging: Advanced imaging and a megapixel sensor deliver fast, reliable decoding across challenging labels and screen-displayed barcodes.
  • Healthcare-ready construction: Disinfectable plastics, IP42 rating and 1.83 m drop resistance support frequent cleaning and durable daily use in clinical environments.
