Barcode Scanners That Don’t Get Sick


Making sure that patients are kept safe and healthy is always a goal for healthcare professionals. In order to achieve this, equipment is often being wiped down with sterilizing chemicals. These harsh cleaning agents will erode away plastics, such as the material typically used to construct barcode scanners. Eventually, you will have scanners with cracks, which can lead to hardware malfunction, or more serious issues, such as the corrosion of electronic circuitry and electrical fires. More healthcare facilities are utilizing barcodes to ensure the "Five Rights" of medication administration, but it creates quite a predicament if the barcode scanners can't withstand the cleaning solutions necessary for a sterile environment. Honeywell Scanning and Mobility is the first barcode scanner manufacturer to introduce disinfectant-ready housings, a healthcare solution designed specifically to address this concern. This special material means that the unit will endure these harsh chemical agents and allow for a long-lasting and safe barcode scanner.
