This cordless device can capture all common bar codes (1D, 2D and PDF417) on labels as well as on mobile phone displays and patient wristbands. The disinfectant-ready DS6878-HC extends the secure access of sensitive clinical information to a patient’s bedside, the nurse’s station, operating room and beyond with the highest levels of reliability and performance, now enhanced with FIPS 140-2.
The MT2000 family of products includes cost-effective mobile terminals for inventory and asset management. These products combine state-of-the-art data capture technology with an easy-to-use keyboard and QVGA user interface to run simple applications.
SUPPORTING QUOTE Jim Mears, Vice President and General Manager, Motorola’s Federal Governments Division “Attaining a FIPS 140-2 certificate for Motorola’s scanner products is an important security milestone that adds significant value to wireless hand-held scanning and imaging solutions.
