Motorola DS6878-HC
Cordless 2D imager for healthcare applications
Prevent medical errors, improve
patient safety and increase
caregiver productivity
The DS6878-HC cordless imager from Motorola enables
hospitals to automate data capture, improve data accuracy,
increase productivity and streamline everyday processes in
patient rooms, laboratories and the pharmacy. Its matchless
feature set meets the unique requirements of healthcare
facilities. An intuitive and ergonomic design combines with
dependable and rapid capture of bar codes and other images,
allowing caregivers to remain focused on the patient — not
the technology. The DS6878-HC is easy to install virtually
anywhere inside the hospital environment — the flexible
base options enable easy mounting horizontally or vertically
on walls, cabinets and workstations. Cordless freedom
via Bluetooth allows users to easily move to the bar code,
eliminating the hazards associated with cables as well as
the need to disturb or inconvenience patients, while offering
the flexibility required for rapid data capture in emergency
situations. When paired with the standard charging cradle,
the DS6878-HC offers the ability to charge the scanner over
the USB cable, eliminating the need for a separate power
supply and reducing the management headaches associated
with mounting a cordless scanner to a computer or workstation
on wheels (COW or WOW).
Comprehensive high-performance
data capture for a world of
healthcare applications
The ability to capture any 1D or 2D bar code as well as
signatures, documents and still photographs enables this
single device to error-proof and simplify many processes
throughout your facility — from medication administration
to specimen collection, admitting and inventory and dietary
management. Built on Motorola’s revolutionary SE4500
scan engine, the DS6878-HC re-defines imaging technology,
offering easy first-time capture of any type of data through:
laser-like performance on 1D and 2D bar codes; an intuitive
aiming pattern; scanning in any type of lighting; the ability to
capture even poor quality and damaged bar codes; and full
omnidirectional scanning, eliminating the need to precisely
align bar code and imager.
Disinfectant-ready design
prevents the spread of germs
The DS6878-HC is designed specifically to help protect
patients and caregivers against dangerous and deadly
illnesses. IP43 sealing and specially selected plastics that
utilize proprietary molding technologies create a hygienic
design that allows safe wipe-downs and sanitizing with
bleach, alcohol, soap and water and more — without harming
the housing or the sensitive scanning components.
Built for all-day everyday use
The DS6878-HC offers Motorola’s best-in-class drop
specification — 6 ft./1.8m drops to concrete. IP43 sealing
protects sensitive electronic components from exposure to
dust and liquids. The result is dependable operation, despite
the inevitable everyday drops, bumps and spills.
The Motorola end-to-end
advantage
When you choose Motorola, you get the end-to-end support
required to ensure maximum uptime in the mission critical

and IP43 sealing, ensuring
reliable operation in spite of
everyday spills, drops and
bumps
Superior high performance
scanning on all bar codes
The integrated revolutionary
Motorola SE4500 imager
eliminates the performance
degradation common in 2D
scanning, delivering: laser-like
performance on both 1D and
2D codes; rapid and accurate
capture of even poor quality
and damaged bar codes; and
full omnidirectional scanning,
environment of healthcare, as well as a low total cost of
ownership (TCO). The ability to remotely manage the Remote
Scanner Management (RSM)-ready device from a central
location substantially reduces the time and costs typically
associated with the management of mobile devices. In
addition, Motorola’s Service from the Start Advance Exchange
Support helps keep your DS6878-HC scanners up and running
at peak performance — and in the hands of your caregivers.
This exceptional service minimizes downtime with nextbusiness-day replacement of devices that require repair. Your
scanners will also be protected from the unexpected with
built-in Comprehensive Coverage, which includes normal
wear and tear as well as coverage for internal and external
components damaged through accidental breakage —
significantly reducing unforeseen repair expenses.
