DS8208-HCBU2104ZVW

Rated IP52 and finished in healthcare white, the Zebra DS8208-HCBU2104ZVW is a wired area-imager kit configured with vibration feedback and a shielded USB cable for clinical and light-manufacturing environments. Its 1600 x 1200 imager resolves Code 39 down to 3 mil and PDF417 down to 6.7 mil, with a motion tolerance of 160 in/s and a maximum scanning distance of 41 in across a 48-degree horizontal by 36-degree field of view. Roll tolerance reaches 360 degrees, skew and pitch each extend to 60 degrees, and minimum print contrast sits at 16%, broadening the range of label stock the unit can reliably decode. The 3500 mAh Lithium Ion battery sustains up to 120 hours of run time and recharges in 13 hours. At 6.23 oz and measuring 6.5 in tall by 2.7 in wide by 4.1 in deep, the scanner tolerates 54 drops at 6.0 ft to concrete and operates from 32 F (0 C) to 122 F (50 C), suiting healthcare, hospitality, transportation, and logistics 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.
